DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18479942 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The driving support apparatus described in the patent application performs deceleration control of the vehicle by setting an actuation sensitivity, executing deceleration control based on the sensitivity, and detecting brake operations by the driver.
- Sensitivity setting unit: Sets actuation sensitivity of deceleration control.
- Deceleration execution unit: Executes deceleration control based on the actuation sensitivity.
- Brake operation detection unit: Detects brake operations by the driver.
- Actuation sensitivity adjustment: Changes sensitivity based on control execution count and driver operation count.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in autonomous driving systems, advanced driver assistance systems, and vehicle safety systems.
Problems Solved
The driving support apparatus helps in improving vehicle safety by providing precise deceleration control based on driver behavior and road conditions.
Benefits
- Enhanced vehicle safety - Improved driving experience - Reduced risk of accidents
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhanced Deceleration Control Technology for Safer Driving" can be used in automotive industry for developing advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving technologies.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing systems that provide deceleration control based on driver inputs and road conditions, but the specific method of adjusting sensitivity based on control execution count and driver operation count may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the sensitivity setting unit determine the optimal actuation sensitivity for deceleration control?
The exact algorithm or method used by the sensitivity setting unit to calculate the actuation sensitivity based on control execution count and driver operation count is not specified in the abstract.
What are the specific parameters considered by the deceleration execution unit when executing the deceleration control?
The abstract does not provide details on the specific factors or inputs taken into account by the deceleration execution unit during the execution of deceleration control.
Original Abstract Submitted
The driving support apparatus performs deceleration control of the vehicle. The driving support apparatus includes: a sensitivity setting unit configured to set an actuation sensitivity of a deceleration control; a deceleration execution unit configured to execute the deceleration control based on the actuation sensitivity; and a brake operation detection unit configured to detect a brake operation by a driver. The sensitivity setting unit changes the actuation sensitivity based on a control execution count which is the number of executions of the deceleration control and a driver operation count which is the number of operations of the brake operation.
