VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240092354 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle control device that includes a detection unit for identifying objects in the diagonally forward direction of the vehicle, and an ECU programmed to execute collision avoidance control based on the detected objects.
- The device includes a detection unit for identifying objects in the diagonally forward direction of the vehicle.
- The ECU is programmed to execute collision avoidance control to prevent collisions with moving objects detected in the diagonally forward direction, or reduce damage in case of a collision.
- The ECU is also programmed to suppress collision avoidance control if other moving objects or stationary objects are detected within a predetermined area near the detected moving object.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various vehicles to enhance safety features and prevent collisions on the road.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in reducing the risk of collisions and minimizing damage in case of unavoidable collisions, thereby improving overall safety on the road.
Benefits
The device provides an additional layer of safety by automatically executing collision avoidance control, reducing the chances of accidents and potential injuries.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology can be integrated into vehicles such as cars, trucks, and buses to improve their safety features and attract safety-conscious consumers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing collision avoidance systems in vehicles that use sensors to detect objects and apply brakes automatically to prevent collisions.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device differentiate between stationary and moving objects in its detection process?
The device likely uses algorithms to analyze the movement patterns of detected objects to determine if they are stationary or moving.
What is the range of the predetermined area within which the device suppresses collision avoidance control?
The range of the predetermined area may vary depending on the speed and size of the vehicle, as well as the specific road conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
to suppress unnecessary operation of pcs control, provided is a vehicle control device comprising a detection unit for detecting an object located in diagonally forward of an own vehicle as a diagonally forward object; and an ecu including at least one processor. the ecu programmed to execute a collision avoidance control for avoiding a collision between own vehicle and one moving object detected as the diagonally forward object by the detection unit or reducing damage to the collision when the one moving object detected as the diagonally forward object satisfies a predetermined collision condition. the ecu programmed to suppress the collision avoidance control based on the one moving object when the other moving object or a stationary object is detected within a predetermined area in the vicinity of the one moving object by the detecting unit.
