VEHICLE TRAVEL ROUTE PLANNING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18470712 titled 'VEHICLE TRAVEL ROUTE PLANNING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle travel path planning system that plans optimal travel paths for multiple vehicles in a group.
- Single path planning unit plans one travel path for each vehicle
- Candidate path generation unit generates multiple candidate paths similar to the planned paths
- Combination search unit selects optimal travel paths for each vehicle and searches for an optimal combination for all vehicles in the group
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in transportation logistics, autonomous vehicles, and fleet management systems.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently planning travel paths for multiple vehicles to optimize time and resources.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency, reduced travel time, and better resource allocation for vehicle groups.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology is in the development of advanced fleet management systems for companies with large vehicle fleets.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing vehicle routing and scheduling systems used in transportation and logistics industries.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle real-time updates and changes in travel paths?
The patent application does not specify how the system adapts to real-time changes in travel paths for multiple vehicles.
What is the computational complexity of the combination search unit in finding the optimal travel path combination?
The patent application does not provide information on the computational complexity of the combination search unit in searching for the optimal travel path combination.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle travel path planning system, which plans an optimal combination of travel paths for all of multiple vehicles included in a vehicle group, includes: a single path planning unit planning, as a single path, one travel path for each of the multiple vehicles; a candidate path generation unit generating multiple candidate paths similar to the single path planned for each of the multiple vehicles; and a combination search unit selecting an optimal travel path from the multiple candidate paths generated for each of the multiple vehicles and searching for an optimal travel path combination for all of the multiple vehicles included in the vehicle group.
