VEHICLE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE CONTROL INTERFACE BOX - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18473891 titled 'VEHICLE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE CONTROL INTERFACE BOX
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application related to a Vehicle Control and Information System (VCIB) that can issue maintenance requests when a vehicle experiences a failure during autonomous driving.
- The VCIB can request maintenance after a vehicle returns from autonomous driving.
- If the vehicle can continue service, the VCIB stops the operation and outputs a back request.
- If the vehicle cannot continue service but can still travel, the VCIB stops the operation and outputs a stop request.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, transportation systems, and fleet management services.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient maintenance scheduling for autonomous vehicles. 2. Ensuring safety and reliability in autonomous driving operations.
Benefits
1. Improved vehicle maintenance and reliability. 2. Enhanced safety measures for autonomous driving. 3. Streamlined service operations for vehicle fleets.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Autonomous Vehicle Maintenance and Safety: Applications of VCIB Technology"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to vehicle maintenance systems in the automotive industry, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the VCIB prioritize maintenance requests in case of multiple failures?
The abstract does not specify how the VCIB handles multiple maintenance requests or prioritizes them based on severity or urgency.
What communication protocols does the VCIB use to send maintenance requests to service providers?
The abstract does not mention the specific communication protocols or technologies used by the VCIB to transmit maintenance requests to service providers.
Original Abstract Submitted
A VCIB performs processing including issuing a request for maintenance after a vehicle returns when the vehicle is carrying out autonomous driving, a failure occurs, and the vehicle is able to continue a service operation, stopping the service operation and outputting a back request when the vehicle is unable to continue the service operation and the vehicle is able to travel, and stopping the service operation and outputting a stop request when the vehicle is unable to continue traveling.
