OPERATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18380689 titled 'OPERATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an operation management apparatus for autonomous vehicles that can identify abnormal states and respond accordingly. The system acquires information from the autonomous driving kit and in-vehicle communication device of the vehicle to determine the appropriate response pattern.
- Interface acquires information on abnormal state and vehicle status
- Controller changes operation pattern based on acquired information
- Output abnormality response pattern to autonomous driving kit
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various industries such as transportation, logistics, and autonomous vehicle operations.
Problems Solved
1. Efficiently managing abnormal states of autonomous vehicles 2. Improving response time to potential issues in autonomous vehicle operations
Benefits
1. Enhanced safety and reliability in autonomous vehicle operations 2. Streamlined management of abnormal situations 3. Optimal utilization of autonomous vehicle capabilities
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing fleet management systems for autonomous vehicles
Possible Prior Art
There are existing systems for managing abnormal states in autonomous vehicles, but this specific combination of acquiring information from both the autonomous driving kit and in-vehicle communication device is a novel approach.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system prioritize different types of abnormal states in autonomous vehicles?
The patent application does not specify how the system determines the severity or priority of different abnormal states in autonomous vehicles.
What is the impact of the system on overall operational efficiency of autonomous vehicles?
The application does not provide information on the potential improvements in operational efficiency that can be achieved with the implementation of this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
An operation management apparatus includes an interface configured to acquire first information identifying an abnormal state of an autonomous vehicle from an autonomous driving kit of the autonomous vehicle and acquire second information on the autonomous vehicle from an in-vehicle communication device of the autonomous vehicle, and a controller configured to change an operation pattern of the autonomous vehicle to an abnormality response pattern determined based on the first information and the second information and output the abnormality response pattern to the autonomous driving kit.
