ROUTE GENERATION SYSTEM, ROUTE GENERATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094015 titled 'ROUTE GENERATION SYSTEM, ROUTE GENERATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The route generation system described in the abstract includes a diagnosis unit that estimates the deterioration degree of a road surface from an image, a generation unit that generates a travel route based on the deterioration degree and road environment information, and an output unit that outputs the generated travel route.

  • The diagnosis unit performs a diagnosis to estimate the deterioration degree of a road surface from an image.
  • The generation unit generates a travel route based on the deterioration degree of the road surface and road environment information for each point diagnosed.
  • The output unit outputs the generated travel route for capturing another image used for another diagnosis.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, road maintenance planning, and infrastructure management systems.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in predicting road surface conditions, optimizing travel routes, and improving road safety.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved road maintenance efficiency, enhanced road safety, and optimized travel routes.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include integration into autonomous vehicle systems, road maintenance companies, and transportation planning agencies.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that use image processing for road surface analysis and route optimization, but the specific combination of diagnosing road surface deterioration and generating travel routes based on this information may be unique to this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle real-time changes in road surface conditions?

The abstract does not mention how the system adapts to real-time changes in road surface conditions to ensure accurate route generation.

What is the accuracy rate of the diagnosis unit in estimating road surface deterioration?

The abstract does not provide information on the accuracy rate of the diagnosis unit in estimating the deterioration degree of the road surface from the images.


Original Abstract Submitted

a route generation system includes a diagnosis unit, a generation unit, and an output unit. the diagnosis unit performs a diagnosis to estimate a deterioration degree of a road surface from an image to be monitored. the generation unit generates a travel route based on the deterioration degree of the road surface for each point diagnosed by the diagnosis unit and information regarding a road environment affecting the diagnosis for each point, the travel route being generated for capturing another image used for another diagnosis. the output unit outputs the generated travel route.
