VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18346539 titled 'VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle driving assistance apparatus described in the patent application is designed to assist in stopping a vehicle when there is a risk of collision with an object. It can forcibly stop the vehicle and keep it in a stopped state for a certain period of time, depending on the location of the vehicle.
- The apparatus executes a braking assistance control to forcibly stop the own vehicle when there is a probability of collision with an object.
- It then executes a stopped-state keeping control to keep the own vehicle stopped after the braking assistance control.
- The stopped-state keeping control is executed for a standard time when the own vehicle is stopped in an area other than a termination recommendation area.
- The stopped-state keeping control is executed for a time shorter than the standard time when the own vehicle is stopped in the termination recommendation area.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and collision avoidance systems.
Problems Solved
1. Preventing collisions with objects by forcibly stopping the vehicle. 2. Ensuring the vehicle remains stopped for a specific period of time to avoid potential accidents.
Benefits
1. Increased safety on the road. 2. Reduced risk of accidents and collisions. 3. Enhanced control over vehicle stopping mechanisms.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Vehicle Collision Prevention Technology for Safer Roads"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of automatic emergency braking systems in vehicles, which are designed to apply the brakes when a collision is imminent.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus determine the probability of collision with an object?
The patent application does not provide details on the specific sensors or algorithms used to assess the risk of collision.
What happens if the vehicle is stopped in the termination recommendation area?
The patent application mentions a shorter time for the stopped-state keeping control in this area, but it does not elaborate on the reasons or consequences of this distinction.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle driving assistance apparatus executes a braking assistance control to forcibly stop an own vehicle when there is a probability that the own vehicle collides with an object, and executes a stopped-state keeping control to keep the own vehicle stopped when the own vehicle is stopped by the braking assistance control. The apparatus executes the stopped-state keeping control for a standard time when the own vehicle is stopped at a place in an area other than a termination recommendation area in which an execution of the stopped-state keeping control is recommended to be terminated. The apparatus executes the stopped-state keeping control for a time shorter than the standard time when the own vehicle is stopped at a place in the termination recommendation area.
