APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING TRAVEL OF VEHICLE HAVING AUTONOMOUS TRAVEL FUNCTION, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18352481 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING TRAVEL OF VEHICLE HAVING AUTONOMOUS TRAVEL FUNCTION, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus for managing the travel of a vehicle with autonomous travel capabilities. The apparatus acquires sensor information, generates prediction information based on the sensor data, requests remote support from an operator, receives remote support, and adjusts the vehicle's travel accordingly.
- Acquires sensor information from a recognition sensor mounted on the vehicle
- Generates prediction information showing the future position of an object based on the sensor data
- Transmits a remote support request to a remote support operator
- Receives remote support from the operator
- Adjusts the vehicle's autonomous travel based on the actual and predicted positions of objects
Potential Applications
- Autonomous vehicles - Transportation systems - Robotics
Problems Solved
- Improving safety in autonomous vehicles - Enhancing decision-making capabilities in dynamic environments - Providing real-time support for autonomous systems
Benefits
- Increased safety on the road - Enhanced efficiency in travel - Real-time support for autonomous operations
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides to an apparatus for managing travel of a vehicle having an autonomous travel function. The apparatus executes the following steps. The apparatus sequentially acquires sensor information from a recognition sensor mounted on the vehicle. The apparatus sequentially generates prediction information showing a position of an object at a future time point based on the sensor information acquired sequentially. The apparatus transmits a remote support request to a remote support operator. The apparatus receives a remote support given in response to the remote support request by the remote support operator. The apparatus makes the vehicle autonomously travel in accordance with the remote support in response to confirming that an actual position of an object obtained from sensor information and a predicted position of an object obtained from prediction information correspond.
