INFRASTRUCTURE DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE, INFRASTRUCTURE DIAGNOSTIC METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240117575 titled 'INFRASTRUCTURE DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE, INFRASTRUCTURE DIAGNOSTIC METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The infrastructure diagnostic device described in the abstract is a system that can analyze the condition of a road section by dividing the movement path of a moving body into meshes and collecting sensor information from the road section.

  • Memory stores instructions
  • Processor executes instructions
  • Generates road section by dividing movement path into meshes
  • Determines and outputs state of road section based on sensor information

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various industries and sectors, including:

  • Civil engineering
  • Transportation
  • Infrastructure maintenance

Problems Solved

The device helps in identifying issues and potential hazards on road sections, allowing for timely maintenance and repair, which can prevent accidents and improve overall road safety.

Benefits

Some benefits of this technology include:

  • Early detection of road defects
  • Improved road maintenance
  • Enhanced safety for drivers and pedestrians

Potential Commercial Applications

With its ability to efficiently assess road conditions, this technology could be valuable for:

  • Government transportation departments
  • Road maintenance companies
  • Engineering firms

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional road inspection methods that rely on manual surveys and visual inspections to assess road conditions.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle different types of road surfaces and terrains?

The abstract does not specify how the device adapts to various road conditions and terrains to accurately assess the state of the road section.

What is the accuracy and reliability of the sensor information collected from the moving body?

The abstract does not provide details on the accuracy and reliability of the sensor information collected from the moving body and how it may impact the overall assessment of the road section.


Original Abstract Submitted

an infrastructure diagnostic device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: generate a road section by dividing, by meshes, a movement path of a moving body collected from the moving body moving on a road, the meshes being obtained by dividing a ground surface into a predetermined size; and determine and output a state of the road section based on sensor information of the road section collected from the moving body.
