==APPARATUS FOR CALCULATING DRIVING PATH AREA OF VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17881234 titled 'APPARATUS FOR CALCULATING DRIVING PATH AREA OF VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an apparatus and method for calculating the driving path area of a vehicle with a tractor and trailer part. The apparatus includes a sensor device that collects information about the vehicle's surroundings. A processor then uses this information, along with data from a map, to identify the road structure and calculate a drivable area. Based on this drivable area, the processor calculates one or more driving paths for the tractor part of the vehicle. The goal of this invention is to accurately determine the risk of a predicted driving path and improve the stability of autonomous driving.

* An apparatus and method for calculating the driving path area of a vehicle with a tractor and trailer part.
* A sensor device collects information about the vehicle's surroundings.
* A processor uses the collected information and map data to identify the road structure.
* The processor calculates a drivable area based on the identified road structure.
* One or more driving paths for the tractor part of the vehicle are calculated based on the drivable area.
* The invention aims to accurately determine the risk of a predicted driving path and improve the stability of autonomous driving.

==Potential Applications==
This technology can be applied in various autonomous vehicles, such as self-driving cars, trucks, or delivery robots. It can also be used in agricultural machinery or construction equipment that require precise path planning.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

An apparatus for calculating a driving path area of a vehicle including a tractor part and a trailer part and a method thereof are provided. A sensor device obtains information about periphery of the vehicle. A processor calculates a drivable area with regard to a road structure identified based on at least one of the information about the periphery of the vehicle or information about a map and calculates one or more driving paths of the tractor part, based on the calculated drivable area. The apparatus for calculating the driving path area of the vehicle accurately determines a risk of a predicted driving path to improve stability of autonomous driving.
