APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING CUT-IN OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17892743 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING CUT-IN OF VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus and method for determining when a vehicle cuts in front of another vehicle. The apparatus includes a sensor that detects the surroundings of the vehicle and generates a point cloud. A controller then calculates the distance from a starting point to an obstacle based on the point cloud and calculates a distance ratio based on this distance. The distance ratio is then analyzed using an artificial neural network to determine if a surrounding vehicle cuts in and in which direction.
- The apparatus includes a sensor that detects the surroundings of the vehicle and generates a point cloud.
- A controller calculates the distance from a starting point to an obstacle based on the point cloud.
- The controller also calculates a distance ratio based on the distance to the obstacle.
- An artificial neural network is used to analyze the distance ratio.
- The apparatus determines if a surrounding vehicle cuts in and in which direction.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in vehicles.
- Autonomous vehicles.
- Traffic monitoring and control systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurately determining when a vehicle cuts in front of another vehicle.
- Minimizing the operation load on the system.
- Increasing the accuracy of the determination performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Quick and accurate determination of cut-in vehicles.
- Minimizes the workload on the system.
- Increases the accuracy of determining cut-in vehicles.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are an apparatus and method for determining a cut-in of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a sensor that detects surroundings of the vehicle to generate a point cloud, and a controller that calculates a distance from a starting point to an obstacle based on the point cloud, calculates a distance ratio based on the distance to the obstacle, analyzes the distance ratio by using an artificial neural network, and determines whether a surrounding vehicle cuts in and a cut-in direction. Therefore, it is possible to quickly and accurately determine a cut-in vehicle by minimizing the operation load and increasing the accuracy of the determination performance.
