METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE MANEUVER PLANNING AND MESSAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149926 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE MANEUVER PLANNING AND MESSAGING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for utilizing various data sources in a vehicle to determine and control autonomous vehicle behavior. These techniques involve vehicle external sensor data, vehicle internal sensor data, vehicle capabilities, and external CV2X input.

  • The techniques can determine inter-vehicle spacing, intersection priority, lane change behavior, and spacing.
  • The data elements are sent, received, and utilized to control the autonomous vehicle behavior.
  • The methods and apparatuses used in the vehicle can implement these techniques.

Potential Applications

  • Autonomous vehicles can use these techniques to safely navigate and interact with other vehicles on the road.
  • The technology can be applied in transportation systems to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.
  • It can be used in ride-sharing services to optimize vehicle routing and improve passenger experience.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of determining safe inter-vehicle spacing and behavior in autonomous vehicles.
  • It addresses the challenge of coordinating intersection priority and lane change behavior in autonomous vehicles.
  • The techniques help overcome the limitations of relying solely on internal vehicle sensors by incorporating external sensor data.

Benefits

  • The technology improves the safety of autonomous vehicles by accurately determining inter-vehicle spacing and behavior.
  • It enhances the efficiency of transportation systems by optimizing intersection priority and lane change behavior.
  • The techniques enable autonomous vehicles to make informed decisions based on a combination of internal and external sensor data.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a vehicle to utilize vehicle external sensor data, vehicle internal sensor data, vehicle capabilities and external CV2X input to determine, send, receive and utilize data elements to determine inter-vehicle spacing, intersection priority, lane change behavior and spacing and other autonomous vehicle behavior.
