VEHICLE CONTROLLER, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND VEHICLE CONTROL COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR VEHICLE CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18448397 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROLLER, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND VEHICLE CONTROL COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR VEHICLE CONTROL
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle controller described in the patent application is designed to detect another vehicle traveling behind a host vehicle, determine if it obstructs the view behind the host vehicle, and take action to secure the view if necessary.
- The processor detects another vehicle behind the host vehicle using sensor signals.
- It determines if the detected vehicle obstructs the view behind the host vehicle.
- The host vehicle is controlled to secure the view behind it if the obstructing condition is met.
Potential Applications
- Automotive industry for improving safety and visibility on the road.
- Autonomous vehicles to enhance situational awareness and decision-making.
Problems Solved
- Addressing blind spots caused by vehicles traveling behind the host vehicle.
- Preventing accidents or collisions due to obstructed views.
Benefits
- Improved safety for drivers and passengers.
- Enhanced visibility and awareness of surroundings.
- Potential reduction in accidents and collisions.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle controller includes a processor configured to detect another vehicle traveling behind a host vehicle, based on a sensor signal obtained by a sensor for sensing surroundings of the host vehicle, determine whether the detected other vehicle satisfies an obstructing condition for obstructing view behind the host vehicle, and control the host vehicle to secure the view behind the host vehicle when the obstructing condition is satisfied.
