DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232984 titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a driving assistance device that helps drivers by calculating the existence range of objects around a target moving object and generating a risk map based on this information.

  • The driving assistance device calculates the range where objects may exist around a target moving object.
  • It also calculates the probability of each object existing at different spots within this range.
  • The device then generates a potential risk map based on the distribution of objects and their associated risks.
  • The potential risk map helps drivers understand the potential risks posed by objects in their surroundings.
  • This driving assistance device aims to improve driver awareness and safety on the road.


Original Abstract Submitted

A driving assistance device () includes an object existence range calculation unit () and a risk map generation unit (). The object existence range calculation unit () calculates peripheral object distribution indicating an object existence range where there is a possibility for each object included in a peripheral object group constituted of at least one object existing around a target moving object to exist in an estimation time range, and an existence probability of each object included in the peripheral object group at each spot in the object existence range. The risk map generation unit () generates a potential risk map representing a potential risk indicating a risk of each object included in the peripheral object group based on the peripheral object distribution.
