OPERATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240132087 titled 'OPERATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an operation management apparatus for autonomous vehicles that can detect abnormal states and respond accordingly.
- Interface acquires information on abnormal state from autonomous driving kit and vehicle information from in-vehicle communication device.
- Controller changes operation pattern of the vehicle based on acquired information to an abnormality response pattern.
- Abnormality response pattern is output to the autonomous driving kit.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various industries such as transportation, logistics, and delivery services to enhance the safety and efficiency of autonomous vehicles.
Problems Solved
1. Detection and response to abnormal states in autonomous vehicles. 2. Improving overall performance and reliability of autonomous vehicle operations.
Benefits
