METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING EMERGENCY VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18321453 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING EMERGENCY VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for recognizing an emergency vehicle. An apparatus for recognizing an emergency vehicle is provided, including a processor; and a memory configured to store at least one instruction executed by the processor. The processor is configured to control at least one or more sensors to recognize an approach of the emergency vehicle and a road condition, to determine a first avoidance location that is a location for a first car to move away from the emergency vehicle based on the road condition, to provide a first avoidance route that is a route for the first car to move from a current location to the first avoidance location, and to control at least one projection device to project at least one of a first symbol indicating the approaching of the emergency vehicle or the first avoidance route.
- Method and apparatus for recognizing an emergency vehicle
- Processor controls sensors to detect emergency vehicle approach and road condition
- Determines avoidance location and route for vehicle to move away from emergency vehicle
- Projects symbols to indicate emergency vehicle approach or avoidance route
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in:
- Autonomous vehicles
- Traffic management systems
- Emergency response vehicles
Problems Solved
- Improves safety on the road by helping vehicles avoid emergency vehicles
- Enhances traffic flow by providing efficient avoidance routes
Benefits
- Increased road safety
- Improved traffic efficiency
- Enhanced emergency vehicle response
Potential Commercial Applications
- Automotive industry
- Traffic control systems
- Emergency services
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of sensors and projection devices in autonomous vehicles to detect and avoid obstacles on the road.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus differentiate between different types of emergency vehicles?
The abstract does not specify how the apparatus distinguishes between various types of emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks, or police cars.
What is the range of the sensors used to detect the emergency vehicle approach?
The abstract does not mention the range of the sensors employed to recognize the approach of an emergency vehicle.
