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 18049919 titled 'Apparatus for Controlling Speed of Vehicle and Method for the Same
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus for controlling the speed of a vehicle using various inputs and calculations.
- The apparatus includes a communication device that can receive information such as the starting and ending points of a speed trap, the speed limit in the speed trap, the average speed of the vehicle, the traveling distance from the starting point of the speed trap, and the present speed of the vehicle.
- A target speed setting device is used to set a target point and starting point for a target speed, and then calculate the target speed based on the received information.
- A required acceleration calculating device is used to calculate the required acceleration for the vehicle.
- A controller is responsible for controlling 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 help drivers maintain a consistent speed within speed traps, ensuring they do not exceed the speed limit.
- It can also be used to assist drivers in achieving a target speed for fuel efficiency or other purposes.
- The apparatus can be integrated into autonomous vehicles to control their speed in a more precise and efficient manner.
Problems solved by this technology:
- This technology helps drivers avoid speeding tickets by providing them with information about speed traps and controlling their speed accordingly.
- It can help drivers improve fuel efficiency by setting and maintaining a target speed.
- The apparatus can enhance the overall safety of driving by ensuring vehicles stay within speed limits.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved compliance with speed limits, reducing the risk of accidents and traffic violations.
- Enhanced fuel efficiency, leading to cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
- Increased convenience and ease of driving, as the apparatus takes care of speed control based on various inputs.
Original Abstract Submitted
In an embodiment an apparatus for controlling a speed of a vehicle 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, set a starting point for a target speed, and 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.
