BRAKING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17966018 titled 'BRAKING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a braking control system and method for autonomous vehicles. The system allows for the transmission of information about surrounding vehicles to the cloud, using sensors on each vehicle. When the cloud determines that the distance between a specific vehicle and the leading vehicle has reached a reference distance or less, a braking induction signal is sent to the specific vehicle to initiate braking. The system also checks for errors or failures in the autonomous traveling-related sensors of the specific vehicle to prevent safety accidents such as collisions with the leading vehicle.
- The system and method enable autonomous vehicles to transmit information on surrounding vehicles to the cloud.
- The cloud determines when a specific vehicle needs to brake based on the distance with the leading vehicle.
- A braking induction signal is sent to the specific vehicle to initiate braking when necessary.
- The system checks for errors or failures in the autonomous traveling-related sensors of the specific vehicle.
- The system helps prevent safety accidents such as collisions with the leading vehicle.
Potential Applications
- Autonomous driving systems in vehicles
- Transportation and logistics industries
- Fleet management systems
Problems Solved
- Prevents safety accidents such as collisions with the leading vehicle
- Improves the efficiency and effectiveness of braking control in autonomous vehicles
- Reduces the risk of errors or failures in the autonomous traveling-related sensors
Benefits
- Enhanced safety for autonomous vehicles and surrounding vehicles
- Improved accuracy and reliability of braking control
- Increased efficiency in autonomous driving systems
- Potential for reduced traffic congestion and improved traffic flow
Original Abstract Submitted
A braking control system and method for an autonomous vehicle, may transmit information on surrounding vehicles monitored by autonomous traveling-related sensors of each vehicle while the autonomous vehicles are traveling to the cloud, and transmit a braking induction signal to a specific vehicle when the cloud determines that a distance with a leading vehicle of the specific vehicle has reached a reference distance or less at which braking is required so that the specific vehicle may be braked, checking occurrence of an error or a failure of autonomous traveling-related sensors of a specific vehicle, and easily preventing the safety accidents such as collision with the leading vehicle.
