==LANE-BASED VEHICLE CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240199024 titled 'LANE-BASED VEHICLE CONTROL

'''Simplified Explanation''': 

The patent application describes a system where a host vehicle adjusts its speed in response to a lane-change initiation to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. The vehicle changes lanes based on the distances from lead and trailing vehicles in the target lane.

* The host vehicle adjusts its speed to establish a safe distance from a lead vehicle in the target lane.
* The vehicle changes from its current lane to a target lane based on rear and forward distance thresholds.
* The system ensures safe lane changes by monitoring distances from surrounding vehicles.

'''Key Features and Innovation''':

* Adaptive speed adjustment for safe lane changes.
* Lane change based on rear and forward distance thresholds.
* Real-time monitoring of distances from lead and trailing vehicles.

'''Potential Applications''':

This technology can be applied in:

* Advanced driver assistance systems.
* Autonomous vehicles.
* Traffic management systems.

'''Problems Solved''':

* Ensures safe lane changes.
* Prevents collisions during lane changes.
* Improves overall traffic flow and safety.

'''Benefits''':

* Enhanced safety on the roads.
* Improved traffic efficiency.
* Reduced risk of accidents.

'''Commercial Applications''':

Potential commercial applications include:

* Integration into autonomous vehicles.
* Licensing to automotive manufacturers.
* Implementation in fleet management systems.

'''Prior Art''''':

Readers can explore prior art related to this technology in the field of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicle technology.

'''Frequently Updated Research''':

Stay updated on the latest advancements in adaptive speed control systems and lane change technologies.

'''Questions about Lane Change Technology''':

1. How does this technology improve road safety during lane changes?
2. What are the key factors considered when determining safe lane changes in this system?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

in response to an initiation of a lane-change, a speed of a host vehicle in a current lane can be adjusted to establish a forward longitudinal distance from a lead vehicle in a target lane. the host vehicle is then moved from a first lateral position to a second lateral position in the current lane based on determining that a rear longitudinal distance of the host vehicle from a trailing vehicle in the target lane is less than a rear distance threshold, and then is additionally moved the host vehicle from the second lateral position to a third lateral position in the current lane based on determining that the rear longitudinal distance is increasing. when the forward longitudinal distance exceeds a forward distance threshold and the rear longitudinal distance exceeds the rear distance threshold, the vehicle is moved from the current lane to the target lane.
