VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18461514 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle control device that can detect objects in the diagonally forward area of the vehicle and execute collision avoidance control to prevent accidents or reduce damage in case of a collision. The device is also capable of suppressing collision avoidance control if another object is detected within a certain proximity of the moving object.
- Detection unit for identifying objects in the diagonally forward area of the vehicle
- ECU with at least one processor programmed to execute collision avoidance control
- Ability to suppress collision avoidance control if another object is detected nearby
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and autonomous vehicles, to improve safety and prevent accidents on the road.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in avoiding collisions and reducing damage in case of accidents by detecting objects in the vehicle's path and taking necessary actions to prevent accidents.
Benefits
- Improved safety on the road - Reduced risk of accidents and damage - Enhanced collision avoidance capabilities
Potential Commercial Applications
- Automotive industry - Autonomous vehicle technology - Vehicle safety systems
Possible Prior Art
Prior art in this field may include existing collision avoidance systems in vehicles, such as automatic emergency braking systems and lane departure warning systems.
=== What are the specific conditions under which collision avoidance control may be suppressed by the device? The collision avoidance control may be suppressed if another moving object or a stationary object is detected within a predetermined area in the vicinity of the diagonally forward object.
=== How does the device determine whether to execute collision avoidance control or suppress it? The device uses the information from the detection unit to identify objects in the diagonally forward area of the vehicle and makes a decision based on the proximity of other objects to the moving object.
Original Abstract Submitted
To suppress unnecessary operation of PCS control, provided is a vehicle control device comprising a detection unit for detecting an object located in diagonally forward of an own vehicle as a diagonally forward object; and an ECU including at least one processor. The ECU programmed to execute a collision avoidance control for avoiding a collision between own vehicle and one moving object detected as the diagonally forward object by the detection unit or reducing damage to the collision when the one moving object detected as the diagonally forward object satisfies a predetermined collision condition. The ECU programmed to suppress the collision avoidance control based on the one moving object when the other moving object or a stationary object is detected within a predetermined area in the vicinity of the one moving object by the detecting unit.
