Apparatus for Controlling Speed of Vehicle and Method for the Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18049572 titled 'Apparatus for Controlling Speed of Vehicle and Method for the Same
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus that includes a communication device, a target speed setting device, a required acceleration calculating device, and a controller.
- The communication device receives information about a speed trap, such as its starting and ending points, speed limit, average vehicle speed, distance traveled, and current vehicle speed.
- The target speed setting device allows the user to set a target point and starting point for a target speed, and calculates the target speed based on this information.
- The required acceleration calculating device calculates the acceleration needed to reach the target speed.
- The controller then controls the vehicle based on either the calculated target speed or the calculated required acceleration.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This technology can be used in vehicles to provide real-time information about speed traps, allowing drivers to adjust their speed accordingly and avoid getting fined.
- It can also be used to improve fuel efficiency by optimizing acceleration and speed control based on the target speed and required acceleration calculations.
Problems solved by this technology:
- This technology solves the problem of drivers unknowingly entering speed traps by providing them with real-time information about the location and speed limit of the trap.
- It also solves the problem of inefficient acceleration and speed control by calculating the required acceleration and target speed, allowing for smoother and more efficient driving.
Benefits of this technology:
- The technology helps drivers avoid speeding tickets by providing them with information about speed traps in real-time.
- It improves fuel efficiency by optimizing acceleration and speed control based on calculated target speed and required acceleration.
- It enhances overall driving experience by providing drivers with more control and information about their speed and acceleration.
Original Abstract Submitted
In an embodiment an apparatus includes a communication device configured to receive at least one of a starting point of a speed trap, an end point of the speed trap, a speed limit in the speed trap, an average speed of the vehicle, a traveling distance from the starting point of the speed trap of the vehicle, or a present speed of the vehicle, a target speed setting device configured to set a target point, to set a starting point for a target speed, and to calculate the target speed, a required acceleration calculating device configured to calculate a required acceleration, and a controller configured to control the vehicle based on at least one of the calculated target speed or the calculated required acceleration.
