VEHICLE TRAVELING SUPPORT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240132155 titled 'VEHICLE TRAVELING SUPPORT APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The driving support ECU described in the patent application is designed to adjust the steering angle guard value and steering angle speed guard value when a specific recognition state occurs where a lane marker changes from left to right or vice versa under a one side lane marker recognizable state.

  • The driving support ECU is configured to set a second steering angle guard value smaller than the first steering angle guard value when a lane marker changes from left to right or vice versa.
  • The driving support ECU is also configured to set a second steering angle speed guard value smaller than the first steering angle speed guard value in the same scenario.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in advanced driver assistance systems to enhance vehicle safety and stability during lane changes.

Problems Solved

This technology helps address the issue of sudden lane marker changes causing abrupt steering adjustments, which can lead to loss of control or accidents.

Benefits

- Improved vehicle stability during lane changes - Enhanced safety for drivers and passengers - Smoother and more controlled steering adjustments

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhanced Lane Change Assistance System for Vehicles" could be a suitable title for this section, optimized for SEO.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing systems or methods for adjusting steering parameters based on lane marker recognition, but specific details would need to be researched further.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact overall driving experience?

This technology aims to improve vehicle stability and safety during lane changes, but it would be interesting to explore how it affects the overall driving experience in terms of comfort and convenience.

What are the potential limitations of this technology?

While the patent application highlights the benefits of adjusting steering parameters based on lane marker recognition, it would be important to consider any potential limitations or drawbacks of this technology, such as false recognition of lane markers or system malfunctions.


Original Abstract Submitted

a driving support ecu is configured to, when a specific recognition state occurs where a lane marker recognized changes from a left lane marker to a right lane marker or vice versa under a one side lane marker recognizable state, set a steering angle guard value to a second steering angle guard value smaller than a first steering angle guard value and set a steering angle speed guard value to a second steering angle speed guard value smaller than a first steering angle speed guard value.
