TRAVEL PLAN FORMULATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240133701 titled 'TRAVEL PLAN FORMULATION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The travel plan formulation apparatus described in the abstract is a device that helps in creating travel plans for vehicles by taking into account road information, specifically regarding intrusion restricted roads where people are not allowed to enter the roadway.
- Controller acquires travel plan and road information
- Determines if travel route includes intrusion restricted road
- Modifies route to avoid restricted road
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries such as transportation, logistics, and tourism where efficient route planning is essential.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures compliance with road restrictions 2. Improves safety by avoiding restricted roads
Benefits
1. Saves time and resources by optimizing travel routes 2. Enhances overall travel experience for users
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing delivery routes for logistics companies
Possible Prior Art
There are existing GPS navigation systems that provide route suggestions based on real-time traffic information, but they may not specifically address intrusion restricted roads.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the apparatus handle dynamic road restrictions that may change frequently? 2. What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy of road information provided to the controller?
Original Abstract Submitted
a travel plan formulation apparatus according to the present disclosure is a travel plan formulation apparatus including a controller configured to acquire a travel plan for a vehicle and road information regarding an intrusion restricted road on which the intrusion of people into a roadway is restricted, determine, based on the road information, whether a travel route included in the travel plan includes a road other than the intrusion restricted road, and upon detecting that the travel route includes the road other than the intrusion restricted road, modify the travel route so as to avoid the road other than the intrusion restricted road.
