CONTROL SYSTEM, IN-VEHICLE DEVICE, AND COORDINATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18266616 titled 'CONTROL SYSTEM, IN-VEHICLE DEVICE, AND COORDINATION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control system for an in-vehicle device that requires assistance with vehicle control to ensure safety and improve availability. The system includes a calculation unit to determine a safe travel time, a determination unit to validate the travel time, and a trajectory following unit to allow the device to follow the travel trajectory when the time is deemed valid.
- The control system synchronizes an in-vehicle device with a coordination device to ensure safety and improve availability.
- A travelable time calculation unit determines a safe travel time to prevent collisions with obstacles on the vehicle's trajectory.
- A travelability determination unit validates the calculated travel time.
- A trajectory following unit allows the in-vehicle device to follow the travel trajectory when the travelable time is confirmed to be valid.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and other transportation systems where safety and availability are critical.
Problems Solved

Original Abstract Submitted
To achieve both guarantee of safety related to vehicle control and improvement of availability in an in-vehicle device that cannot independently perform automatic driving and needs assistance of vehicle control. To achieve the above object, a control system includes an in-vehicle device and a coordination device that are synchronized in time point. The control system includes a travelable time calculation unit that calculates a travelable time for guaranteeing that a vehicle does not collide with an obstacle on a travel trajectory in a target region through which the vehicle equipped with the in-vehicle device passes, a travelability determination unit that determines validity of the travelable time, and a trajectory following unit that permits the in-vehicle device to follow the travel trajectory when it is determined that the travelable time is valid.
