DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18603252 titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The driving assistance device described in the abstract is designed to recognize surrounding conditions of a host vehicle and determine if the vehicle can safely pass through a traveling section ahead.
- The device includes a recognizer to identify the host vehicle's surroundings, a determiner to assess if the vehicle can pass through based on the recognition results, and an output controller to provide information based on the determiner's decision.
- If the distance between the marking line on the road and an obstacle in front of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a set distance, the determiner concludes that the vehicle can pass next to the obstacle.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles to enhance safety and decision-making capabilities. - It can also be integrated into existing vehicles as a driver assistance system to prevent collisions with obstacles.
Problems Solved: - Helps prevent accidents by providing real-time information on the vehicle's ability to pass through obstacles. - Improves overall driving safety by assisting drivers in making informed decisions.
Benefits: - Increased safety on the road for both drivers and pedestrians. - Enhanced driving experience with advanced assistance features.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driving Assistance System for Enhanced Safety This technology can be marketed to automotive manufacturers for integration into new vehicle models to offer advanced safety features. It can also be sold as an aftermarket add-on for existing vehicles to upgrade their safety capabilities.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on driving assistance systems, obstacle detection, and autonomous vehicle technology. Researchers can explore databases like Google Patents or academic journals for relevant information.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers in the field of autonomous vehicles and driver assistance systems may be conducting ongoing studies on improving obstacle detection and decision-making algorithms. Stay updated on conferences and publications in this area for the latest advancements.
Questions about the Driving Assistance Device: 1. How does this technology differentiate itself from existing driver assistance systems? This technology stands out by specifically focusing on determining a vehicle's ability to pass through obstacles based on real-time recognition of surrounding conditions.
2. What are the potential implications of integrating this device into autonomous vehicles? By integrating this device into autonomous vehicles, it can significantly enhance their safety and decision-making capabilities, leading to a more reliable and efficient autonomous driving experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
A driving assistance device that is one aspect of the embodiment includes a recognizer configured to recognize surrounding conditions of a host vehicle, a determiner configured to determine whether the host vehicle is able to pass through a traveling section ahead on the basis of a result of the recognition by the recognizer, and an output controller configured to cause an output to output information based on a result of the determination by the determiner, in which, when a first distance between a marking line for dividing a traveling path of the host vehicle, which is recognized by the recognizer, and an obstacle in front of the host vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance, the determiner determines that the host vehicle is able to pass next to the obstacle.
