VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18198451 titled 'VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle system that uses a camera and radar to detect objects in its surroundings and a controller to process the data and control the vehicle's braking and steering systems based on the detected objects.

  • The vehicle is equipped with a camera and radar to detect objects in its external field of view.
  • The camera captures image data, while the radar collects radar data for object detection.
  • A controller, powered by a processor, processes the image and radar data to generate a processing result.
  • Based on the processing result, the controller can control the braking or steering devices of the vehicle.
  • The controller can detect a target object in an adjacent lane and an obstacle in front of it.
  • It can perform acceleration or deceleration control based on the target object's acceleration or deceleration.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles to enhance their perception and decision-making capabilities.
  • It can be used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to improve safety by detecting and responding to objects in the vehicle's surroundings.
  • The system can be integrated into commercial vehicles to assist drivers in avoiding collisions and maintaining safe distances.

Problems Solved

  • The system addresses the challenge of detecting and responding to objects in the vehicle's surroundings.
  • It solves the problem of accurately detecting and tracking objects in adjacent lanes.
  • The technology helps in identifying obstacles that may pose a risk to the vehicle's safety.

Benefits

  • The system improves the overall safety of the vehicle by detecting and responding to potential hazards.
  • It enhances the vehicle's ability to navigate through traffic and avoid collisions.
  • The technology provides real-time data processing, enabling quick and accurate decision-making for the vehicle's control systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle according to one or more example embodiments includes a camera having an external field of view and acquire image data for detecting a target object in the external field of view of the camera, a radar having an external field of view from the vehicle and acquire radar data for detecting the target object in the external field of view of the radar, and a controller including at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to process the image data and the radar data to yield a processing result, and control, based on the processing result, at least one of a braking device or a steering device. The controller may be configured to detect the target object traveling in a lane adjacent to the vehicle, detect an obstacle preceding the target object, and perform acceleration control or deceleration control based on detecting acceleration or deceleration of the target object.
