VEHICLE, CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE CONTROL INTERFACE BOX - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326773 titled 'VEHICLE, CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE CONTROL INTERFACE BOX
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a vehicle equipped with an autonomous driving system that can immobilize or release the vehicle based on commands from the autonomous driving system.
- The vehicle platform includes a base vehicle with an electric parking brake and a vehicle control interface box for communication with the autonomous driving system.
- Commands can be sent to immobilize, release, or make no request regarding the vehicle's immobilization status.
- The vehicle will release the electric parking brake when acceleration is requested, and the immobilization command is to make no request and the brake is activated.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Integration of an electric parking brake into the autonomous driving system for immobilization control.
- Communication between the autonomous driving system and the vehicle control interface box for seamless operation.
- Immobilization commands with options for immobilization, release, or no request for immobilization.
Potential Applications:
This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles for improved control and safety features.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient immobilization control in autonomous vehicles.
- Seamless integration of the electric parking brake into the autonomous driving system.
Benefits:
- Enhanced safety features in autonomous vehicles.
- Improved control and operation of the vehicle platform.
Commercial Applications:
Potential commercial applications include autonomous vehicle manufacturers, transportation companies, and technology firms developing autonomous driving systems.
