Vehicle For Performing Minimal Risk Maneuver And Method For Operating The Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374333 titled 'Vehicle For Performing Minimal Risk Maneuver And Method For Operating The Same

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle system that can detect events associated with a stop, identify an area for the vehicle to stop, determine a stop type based on the size of the identified area, and cause the vehicle to stop in the identified area.

  • Sensor(s) are used to collect surrounding environment information and vehicle state information.
  • Processor analyzes the collected information to detect events associated with a stop.
  • Controller controls the operations of the vehicle based on the detected events and identified stop area.
  • The vehicle stops in the identified area based on the determined stop type.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, parking assistance systems, and traffic management systems.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in improving the efficiency and safety of vehicle stops, especially in crowded or complex environments.

Benefits

The system enhances the accuracy and precision of vehicle stopping, leading to smoother traffic flow and reduced chances of accidents.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Smart Stop System for Vehicles: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing parking assistance systems that assist drivers in parking their vehicles.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle emergency stops?

The patent application does not specify how the system reacts to emergency stop situations where immediate action is required.

What is the impact of inclement weather on the system's performance?

The patent application does not address how the system operates in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle includes at least one sensor, a controller configured to control operations of the vehicle; and a processor configured to be electrically connected to the at least one sensor and the controller, the processor configured to detect, based on surrounding environment information and vehicle state information collected from the at least one sensor, an event associated with a stop, identify, by the at least one sensor and based on the detected event, an area for the vehicle to stop, determine, based on a size of the identified area, a stop type, and cause, by the controller and based on the determined stop type, the vehicle to stop in the identified area.
