CONTROL SYSTEM, SERVER, AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18442194 titled 'CONTROL SYSTEM, SERVER, AND VEHICLE
The patent application describes a control system for managing the transport of a vehicle throughout its production to shipment stages.
- The system includes a state identification unit that determines the vehicle's state and a control notification unit that decides on the control actions based on the identified state.
- The control notification unit can adjust the transport route or timing of transport to minimize the difference between the vehicle's state and a target state.
- The goal is to efficiently control the vehicle's transport process by keeping the vehicle close to the desired state.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for optimizing vehicle transport processes - Logistics companies for improving efficiency in vehicle shipments
Problems Solved: - Streamlining the vehicle transport process - Minimizing delays and errors in vehicle shipments
Benefits: - Enhanced control over vehicle transport - Improved accuracy in meeting target states - Increased efficiency in the production to shipment process
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimizing Vehicle Transport Control System for Enhanced Efficiency" This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, logistics companies, and transportation firms to streamline vehicle transport operations, reduce costs, and improve overall efficiency in the production to shipment process.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control system determine the vehicle's state during the transport process? The state identification unit uses various sensors and data inputs to identify the vehicle's state accurately.
2. What are the key benefits of minimizing the difference between the vehicle's state and the target state? By minimizing this difference, the control system ensures that the vehicle is on track for timely and accurate transport, reducing delays and errors in the process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control system for controlling transport of a vehicle in any of steps from production to shipment of the vehicle includes a state identification unit that identifies a vehicle state that is a state of the vehicle, and a control notification unit that determines a control content of the vehicle by using the identified vehicle state and notifies the vehicle of the control content. The control notification unit determines to control at least either one of a transport route of the vehicle and a timing of starting the transport as the control content such that a magnitude of a difference between the vehicle state and a preset target state is suppressed.
