DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18476460 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The driving support apparatus described in the patent application includes a surrounding sensor that can detect moving objects in specific areas around the vehicle, and a control unit that can autonomously apply braking force to the vehicle to prevent collisions with these objects.
- Surrounding sensor detects moving objects in front of the vehicle and in the front lateral area.
- Control unit executes autonomous braking control when a collision condition is met, applying braking force to prevent collisions.
- Braking force is reduced when the target object is in the front lateral area compared to when it is in front of the vehicle.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and collision avoidance systems in various vehicles.
Problems Solved
This technology helps prevent collisions with moving objects in the vehicle's path, increasing safety on the road.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved safety, reduced risk of accidents, and enhanced driving assistance for the driver.
Potential Commercial Applications
Commercial applications of this technology could include integration into new vehicle models, aftermarket safety systems, and fleet management solutions.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing collision avoidance systems in vehicles that use sensors to detect obstacles and apply braking force to prevent collisions.
What are the specific technical details of the surrounding sensor used in the driving support apparatus?
The specific technical details of the surrounding sensor used in the driving support apparatus are not provided in the abstract. Further details on the type of sensor, its range, accuracy, and integration with the control unit would be necessary to fully understand its capabilities.
How does the control unit determine the magnitude of braking force to apply in different collision scenarios?
The abstract mentions that the control unit reduces the braking force when the target object is in the front lateral area compared to when it is in front of the vehicle. However, the exact methodology or algorithm used by the control unit to determine the magnitude of braking force in different collision scenarios is not elaborated upon. Further information on the decision-making process of the control unit would be required to understand this aspect of the technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
A driving support apparatus includes a surrounding sensor capable of detecting a first object which is a moving object present in a predetermined first area including a direct front of the own vehicle and a second object which is a moving object present in a predetermined second area including a front lateral area of the own vehicle; and a control unit configured to execute the autonomous braking control for automatically applying braking force to the own vehicle when a collision condition is satisfied, the collision condition being satisfied when there is a possibility that the own vehicle collides with a moving object. The control unit is configured to, when a target object which is a moving object satisfying the collision condition is the second object, reduce a magnitude of the braking force applied by the autonomous braking control, as compared to when the target object is the first object.
