METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRIVING MODE TRANSITION OF AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18078515 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRIVING MODE TRANSITION OF AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

A method for controlling a driving mode transition of an autonomous driving vehicle to safely perform a lane change to avoid a collision accident with another vehicle and prevent injury to a joint, etc., while minimizing a sense of heterogeneity of a driver by minimizing rotational steering of a steering wheel.

  • Autonomous driving vehicle transitions driving modes to avoid collisions and prevent injuries.
  • Minimizes rotational steering of the steering wheel to reduce driver discomfort.
  • Determines if another vehicle suddenly cuts in to the next lane.
  • Maintains a safety distance from a rear vehicle to minimize steering wheel rotation.
  • Utilizes partial braking control during autonomous driving mode transition.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, transportation systems, and safety mechanisms in vehicles.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of collision accidents and injuries caused by sudden lane changes and the discomfort experienced by drivers during such maneuvers.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased safety on the roads, reduced risk of accidents, and improved driving experience for passengers.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include integrating this technology into autonomous vehicles, transportation fleets, and safety systems for vehicles.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include similar systems used in autonomous vehicles and driver assistance technologies.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system differentiate between intentional and unintentional lane changes?

The system likely uses sensors and algorithms to analyze the behavior of surrounding vehicles and determine the likelihood of a sudden lane change.

What measures are in place to ensure the safety and reliability of the autonomous driving controller?

Safety protocols, redundancy systems, and regular maintenance are likely implemented to ensure the autonomous driving controller functions properly and safely.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for controlling a driving mode transition of an autonomous driving vehicle may safely perform a lane change to avoid a collision accident with the other vehicle and prevent an injury to a joint, etc., while minimizing a sense of heterogeneity of a driver according to minimization of rotational steering of a steering wheel by determining whether the other vehicle in a next lane suddenly cuts in in an autonomous driving controller while the autonomous driving vehicle is driving in a manual driving mode and determining a safety distance from a rear vehicle to minimize rotational steering of the steering wheel held by the driver and at the same time perform partial braking control by autonomous driving mode transition control using an autonomous driving controller.
