VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST DEVICE, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18624633 titled 'VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST DEVICE, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a vehicle driving assist device with a control device that sets upper limit values for steering angles in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. When the steering angle exceeds these limits, the control device applies assist steering force in the opposite direction to help with steering operations.
- The control device sets upper limit values for steering angles in both counterclockwise and clockwise directions.
- When the steering angle exceeds the set limit in the counterclockwise direction, assist steering force is applied in the clockwise direction.
- Similarly, when the steering angle exceeds the set limit in the clockwise direction, assist steering force is applied in the counterclockwise direction.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Control device sets upper limit values for steering angles in both directions.
- Assist steering force is applied when steering angle exceeds the set limits.
- Helps improve steering control and stability in vehicles.
Potential Applications:
- Automotive industry for vehicles with driving assist features.
- Autonomous vehicles for enhanced steering control.
- Safety systems in vehicles to prevent oversteering.
Problems Solved:
- Addressing issues related to steering control and stability.
- Providing assistance to drivers in challenging driving conditions.
- Enhancing overall safety and performance of vehicles.
Benefits:
- Improved steering control and stability.
- Enhanced safety features for drivers.
- Better handling in difficult driving situations.
Commercial Applications:
The technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for vehicles with driving assist features, autonomous vehicles, and safety systems to enhance steering control and stability.
Questions about Vehicle Driving Assist Device:
1. How does the control device determine the upper limit values for steering angles? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on the automotive industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
In a vehicle driving assist device including a control device, the control device is configured to set, in steering assist control, an upper limit value of a steering angle in a counterclockwise direction as a left limit steering angle or an upper limit value of the steering angle in a clockwise direction as a right limit steering angle. When the steering angle exceeds the left limit steering angle in the counterclockwise direction, the control device is configured to apply an assist steering force in the clockwise direction to a steering operation. When the steering angle exceeds the right limit steering angle in the clockwise direction, the control device is configured to apply the assist steering force in the counterclockwise direction to the steering operation.
