COLLISION AVOIDANCE SUPPORT DEVICE AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18459367 titled 'COLLISION AVOIDANCE SUPPORT DEVICE AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a collision avoidance support device for vehicles equipped with clutch-type front and rear stabilizers and an automatic steering device. The device calculates a target control amount to steer the vehicle along a trajectory to avoid a collision with an obstacle in front, even when stabilizers are in an uncoupled state.

  • The device is applied to vehicles with clutch-type front and rear stabilizers and an automatic steering device.
  • It calculates a target control amount to steer the vehicle along a trajectory to avoid collisions.
  • It can operate even when stabilizers are in an uncoupled state.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as automotive, transportation, and autonomous vehicles.

Problems Solved

1. Collision avoidance in vehicles equipped with stabilizers in both coupled and uncoupled states. 2. Enhancing safety features in vehicles by providing automatic steering control in emergency situations.

Original Abstract Submitted

A collision avoidance support device that is applied to a vehicle equipped with clutch-type front and rear stabilizers controlled in coupled and uncoupled states and an automatic steering device, and comprises a control unit that is configured to, when it is determined that a collision with an obstacle in front of the vehicle needs to be avoided, calculate a target control amount for causing the vehicle to run along a target trajectory for avoiding the collision and control the automatic steering device based on the target control amount, and the control unit is further configured to, when it is determined that a collision needs to be avoided in a situation in which at least one of the stabilizers is in the uncoupled state, calculate a target control amount for causing the vehicle to run along the target trajectory based on a steer characteristic of the vehicle at that time.
