VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300524 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a vehicle control device that can independently control the steering, acceleration, and deceleration of a vehicle based on the surrounding situation, without the need for driver input. The device can switch between different driving modes based on the number of lanes recognized by the system.
- Recognizer to identify the surrounding situation of the vehicle
- Driving controller for independent control of steering, acceleration, and deceleration
- Mode decider to determine the driving mode based on recognized lanes
- Ability to switch between different driving modes
Potential Applications: 1. Autonomous driving systems 2. Advanced driver assistance systems 3. Traffic management systems
Problems Solved: 1. Enhancing vehicle safety by autonomously adjusting driving parameters 2. Improving traffic flow by optimizing lane usage 3. Reducing driver workload in certain driving conditions
Benefits: 1. Increased safety on the road 2. Improved efficiency in traffic flow 3. Enhanced driver comfort and convenience
Commercial Applications: The technology could be utilized in autonomous vehicles, smart transportation systems, and fleet management solutions to enhance safety and efficiency on the roads.
Questions about Vehicle Control Device: 1. How does the device determine the appropriate driving mode based on recognized lanes? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in autonomous vehicles?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of autonomous driving systems and artificial intelligence could further enhance the capabilities of the vehicle control device.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle control device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle, a driving controller configured to control steering, acceleration, and deceleration of the vehicle independently of an operation of a driver of the vehicle, and a mode decider configured to decide on a driving mode of the vehicle as one of a plurality of driving modes including a first driving mode and a second driving mode. the recognizer recognizes an available travel lane in the same direction as the vehicle located inside of a reference range. the mode decider changes the driving mode of the vehicle from the second driving mode to the first driving mode on the basis of the number of lanes recognized by the recognizer when the driving mode of the vehicle is the second driving mode.
