VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462494 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for determining whether a vehicle meets the conditions for automatic interflow within a designated lane. If the conditions are not met, the driver is notified to manually initiate interflow. If the conditions are met, automatic interflow is initiated.
- The system judges whether a vehicle meets the conditions for automatic interflow at a specific position within an interflow lane.
- If the conditions are not met, the driver is urged to manually initiate interflow.
- If the conditions are met, automatic interflow is executed.
Potential Applications
- Traffic management systems
- Autonomous vehicle technology
- Intelligent transportation systems
Problems Solved
- Ensures efficient traffic flow within interflow lanes
- Reduces the need for manual intervention in interflow processes
- Improves overall traffic management and reduces congestion
Benefits
- Streamlines interflow processes for vehicles
- Enhances traffic flow and reduces delays
- Increases safety and efficiency in interflow lanes
Original Abstract Submitted
When a subject vehicle reaches a first position of an interflow zone within an interflow lane, it is judged whether a condition for automatic interflow is satisfied. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interflow is not satisfied at the first position, a notification for urging manual interflow by a driver is stated to execute. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interfiow is satisfied at the first position, the automatic interflow is stared to execute.
