CONTROL METHOD OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE AND CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18180251 titled 'CONTROL METHOD OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE AND CONTROL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for an autonomous vehicle to gather flood damage information and assess the likelihood of flooding at its current position.
- The system collects flood damage information and a flood index to determine the predicted flood water level at the vehicle's location.
- The predicted flood water level is displayed on a mounted display, showing the height position from the road surface.
- This display allows people outside the vehicle to visually recognize the potential flood water level.
Original Abstract Submitted
Flood damage information at the position of the autonomous vehicle and a flood index representing the likelihood of flooding at the position of the automatically driving vehicle are acquired. Based on the flood damage information and the flood index, a predicted flood water level at the position of the autonomous vehicle is obtained. A predicted flood water level is displayed in the form of a height position from the road surface on a display mounted on the autonomous vehicle so that it can be visually recognized from the outside of the autonomous vehicle.
