TECHNIQUES FOR ROUTE SELECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18512946 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR ROUTE SELECTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and apparatus for selecting routes to a destination based on reliability parameters associated with each route. These reliability parameters include the likelihood of determining a position location along each route, which is influenced by the detectability of features in each route by object detection modalities.
- Receiving starting point and destinations
- Transmitting request to server for routes
- Receiving multiple routes from server
- Selecting route based on reliability parameters
- Reliability parameters include detectability of features for object detection
Potential Applications
- Navigation systems
- Autonomous vehicles
- Delivery services
Problems Solved
- Efficient route selection
- Improved accuracy in determining position location
- Enhanced reliability in navigation systems
Benefits
- Increased efficiency in reaching destinations
- Enhanced safety in navigation
- Improved user experience in route selection
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatus for route selection to a destination may include receiving a starting point and one or more destinations, and transmitting a request to a server for routes associated with the starting point and the one or more destinations. Additionally, the methods and apparatus may include receiving, from the server, a plurality of routes to the one or more destinations. Furthermore, the methods and apparatus may include selecting a route from the plurality of routes based at least on one or more reliability parameters associated with each route of the plurality of routes, the one or more reliability parameters comprising a likelihood of determining a position location along each route, the likelihood being based at least on detectability of features in each route by one or more object detection modalities.
