DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, VEHICLE, AND NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18466193 titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, VEHICLE, AND NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The driving assistance apparatus described in the patent application assists in detecting blind spot regions and estimating the risk of contact between a vehicle and a mobile body that has entered the blind spot region.
- The driving assistance apparatus includes processors and memories for executing processes such as blind spot region detection, mobile body detection, and contact risk estimation based on data regarding the surrounding environment of the vehicle.
- The blind spot region detection process identifies blind spot regions formed by objects outside the vehicle.
- The mobile body detection process detects mobile bodies that have entered the blind spot region.
- The contact risk estimation process estimates the risk of contact between the vehicle and the mobile body based on the movement direction and speed of the mobile body, as well as temporal changes in the blind spot region.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in various industries such as automotive, transportation, and safety systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in reducing the risk of accidents caused by blind spots and improves overall driving safety.
Benefits
The driving assistance apparatus enhances driver awareness and provides real-time information about potential contact risks, ultimately preventing collisions.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Driving Safety with Blind Spot Detection Technology"
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include existing blind spot detection systems in vehicles or other technologies aimed at improving driver visibility and safety.
Unanswered Questions
How does the driving assistance apparatus differentiate between different types of mobile bodies entering the blind spot region?
The driving assistance apparatus may use advanced algorithms to analyze the characteristics of the mobile bodies and determine the level of risk they pose to the vehicle.
What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the contact risk estimation process?
The driving assistance apparatus may undergo rigorous testing and validation to ensure that the contact risk estimates are precise and trustworthy in real-world driving scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
A driving assistance apparatus assists in driving of a vehicle. The driving assistance apparatus includes one or more processors and one or more memories communicably coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more processors execute: a blind spot region detection process of detecting a blind spot region as viewed from the vehicle formed by a blind spot forming object, based on data regarding a surrounding environment of the vehicle; a mobile body detection process of detecting a mobile body that has entered the blind spot region from outside the blind spot region, based on the data regarding the surrounding environment of the vehicle; and a contact risk estimation process of estimating a risk of contact between the vehicle and the mobile body, based on a movement direction and a movement speed of the mobile body, and a temporal change in the blind spot region.
