INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18364035 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a controller that identifies congested lanes on a road by analyzing position and speed information of vehicles and obtaining image data of the congested section.

  • Controller identifies congested section on a road with multiple lanes based on vehicle position and speed data.
  • Controller captures image data of the congested section for further analysis.
  • Controller identifies congested lanes within the congested section using the image data.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • Traffic management systems
  • Autonomous vehicle navigation systems
  • Road maintenance and planning

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Identifying congested lanes accurately
  • Improving traffic flow and reducing congestion
  • Enhancing road safety by alerting drivers about congested lanes

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Efficient traffic management
  • Improved road safety
  • Enhanced driving experience for motorists


Original Abstract Submitted

A controller configured to perform: identifying, based on position information and speed information of each vehicle obtained from a plurality of vehicles traveling on a road having a plurality of lanes, a first section in which a part of the lanes among the plurality of lanes is congested; obtaining image data that has captured the first section thus identified; and identifying a congested lane in the first section based on the image data.
