METHOD FOR IMPROVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR VEHICLES MOVING IN AN AT LEAST PARTIALLY AUTOMATED MANNER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464816 titled 'METHOD FOR IMPROVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR VEHICLES MOVING IN AN AT LEAST PARTIALLY AUTOMATED MANNER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for improving safety precautions for vehicles by analyzing scenario information and safety metric information to identify potential trigger events.

  • Obtaining scenario information and safety metric information from vehicles moving in an automated manner.
  • Determining the relevance distribution of safety metrics in a scenario to identify potential trigger events.
  • Comparing the relevance distribution to existing scenarios to define a potential trigger event.
  • Providing information about the potential trigger event.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the automotive industry to enhance safety features in vehicles, especially in autonomous driving systems.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in proactively identifying potential trigger events in real-time, which can prevent accidents and improve overall safety on the roads.

Benefits

- Increased safety for vehicles and passengers. - Enhanced decision-making capabilities for automated systems. - Improved accident prevention measures.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Vehicle Safety through Trigger Event Identification"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to safety systems in vehicles that aim to prevent accidents by analyzing real-time data and identifying potential risks.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for improving safety precautions for vehicles. The method includes: obtaining, from one or from each of a plurality of vehicles moving in an at least partially automated manner, if a safety metric is fulfilled at a time point in the vehicle, scenario information and safety metric information; determining a relevance distribution of at least one safety metric of the scenario present at that time point, which indicates how often a respective safety metric is or has been fulfilled in that scenario; comparing the determined relevance distribution to relevance distributions of at least one already existing scenarios; determining the scenario to be a potential trigger event if the relevance distribution of the scenario present at that time point matches a relevance distribution of at least one already existing scenario for which a trigger event is defined; and providing information about the potential trigger event.
