VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST APPARATUS, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST METHOD, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST PROGRAM, AND VEHICLE COMPRISING VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17974659 titled 'VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST APPARATUS, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST METHOD, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST PROGRAM, AND VEHICLE COMPRISING VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

Abstract: The patent application describes a vehicle driving assist apparatus that can switch between two different control modes based on the operation of the accelerator pedal.

  • The apparatus can stop the ordinary moving assist control and execute an ordinary moving control to accelerate the vehicle when an accelerator override state is detected due to the operation of the accelerator pedal.
  • The apparatus can also execute an economy moving assist control, where the vehicle is accelerated using an optimum acceleration control when an acceleration request condition is met and the accelerator override state is produced.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles to improve the driving experience and ensure smooth acceleration.
  • It can be used in electric vehicles to optimize energy consumption and increase efficiency.
  • The apparatus can be integrated into advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to enhance safety and control during acceleration.

Problems Solved:

  • The technology addresses the issue of sudden acceleration or deceleration when the accelerator pedal is operated in certain driving situations.
  • It provides a solution to ensure a smooth and controlled acceleration of the vehicle, improving overall driving comfort and safety.
  • The apparatus helps optimize acceleration in different driving conditions, such as during ordinary driving or when an economy mode is desired.

Benefits:

  • The technology improves the overall driving experience by providing smooth and controlled acceleration.
  • It helps optimize energy consumption and increase efficiency, particularly in electric vehicles.
  • The apparatus enhances safety by ensuring proper acceleration control, reducing the risk of accidents or sudden changes in vehicle speed.


Original Abstract Submitted

While an ordinary moving assist control is executed, a vehicle driving assist apparatus stops the ordinary moving assist control and execute an ordinary moving control to accelerate an own vehicle, based on an accelerator pedal operation amount when an accelerator override state is produced due to an operation of an accelerator pedal of the own vehicle. While an economy moving assist control is executed, the vehicle driving assist apparatus accelerates the own vehicle by an optimum acceleration control when an acceleration request condition that the accelerator override state is produced, is satisfied.
