Path Planning Method, Server, and Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18400046 titled 'Path Planning Method, Server, and Vehicle
Simplified Explanation
The path planning method described in the abstract involves a server obtaining a path for a vehicle to travel from its current location to a task destination, which includes segments of roads with planning time information. The server ensures that the total quantity of vehicles on each segment of road does not exceed the capacity of that segment, and sends path information to the vehicle including planning time information for each segment.
- Server obtains a path for vehicle from current location to task destination
- Path includes segments of roads with planning time information
- Server ensures total quantity of vehicles on each segment does not exceed capacity
- Path information sent to vehicle includes planning time information for each segment
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in autonomous vehicle navigation systems, logistics and transportation management systems, and smart city infrastructure planning.
Problems Solved
- Efficient route planning for vehicles - Avoiding congestion on roads - Optimizing traffic flow
Benefits
- Reduced travel time for vehicles - Improved traffic management - Enhanced overall transportation efficiency
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimized Path Planning Technology for Autonomous Vehicles" could be used in autonomous vehicle systems, transportation companies, and urban planning agencies.
Possible Prior Art
One potential prior art could be traditional GPS navigation systems that provide route guidance based on real-time traffic conditions. Another could be traffic management systems that optimize traffic flow through signal control and lane management.
Unanswered Questions
How does the technology handle unexpected road closures or accidents?
The article does not address how the system adapts to sudden changes in road conditions that may affect the planned path for the vehicle.
What measures are in place to ensure data security and privacy of the path information sent to vehicles?
The article does not mention any specific protocols or mechanisms to protect the sensitive information transmitted between the server and the vehicles.
Original Abstract Submitted
A path planning method includes a server that obtains a first path. The first path is from a current location of the vehicle to a task destination. The first path includes one or more segments of roads. The server determines planning time information for the vehicle to travel on each of the one or more segments of roads. When the vehicle travels based on the planning time information on each segment of road, a total quantity of vehicles on each segment of road is less than or equal to a capacity of each segment of road. The server sends path information to the vehicle. The path information includes information about at least one of the one or more segments of roads and planning time information for the vehicle to travel on the at least one segment of road.
