ADVERSARIAL SIMULATION FOR DEVELOPING AND TESTING ASSISTIVE DRIVING TECHNOLOGY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18156591 titled 'ADVERSARIAL SIMULATION FOR DEVELOPING AND TESTING ASSISTIVE DRIVING TECHNOLOGY
The abstract describes a patent application for a driving simulator that can detect driver distraction and simulate driving events accordingly.
- The driving simulator includes a controller programmed to simulate vehicle operation with assistive driving technology.
- Driver data is collected and analyzed to determine if the driver is distracted.
- If distraction is detected, the simulator will simulate a specific driving event to address the distraction.
Potential Applications: - Driver training programs - Research on distracted driving behavior - Development of advanced driver assistance systems
Problems Solved: - Addressing distracted driving behavior - Improving driver safety and awareness - Enhancing driver training effectiveness
Benefits: - Increased safety on the road - Improved driver training outcomes - Enhanced research capabilities in the field of driving behavior
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Driving Simulator for Enhanced Safety and Training" This technology can be used in driving schools, research institutions, and automotive companies to improve driver training and safety measures.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the driving simulator detect driver distraction? The driving simulator analyzes driver data to determine distraction levels, such as erratic steering or delayed responses. 2. What types of driving events can the simulator simulate to address distraction? The simulator can simulate sudden lane changes, emergency braking, or other scenarios to refocus the driver's attention.
Original Abstract Submitted
A driving simulator may include a controller programmed to simulate operation of a vehicle being driven by a driver, the vehicle including assistive driving technology, receive driver data associated with the driver, determine whether the driver is distracted based on the driver data, and upon determination that the driver is distracted, simulate a particular driving event.
