TRAVEL CONTROLLER AND METHOD FOR TRAVEL CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240123977 titled 'TRAVEL CONTROLLER AND METHOD FOR TRAVEL CONTROL
Simplified Explanation
A travel controller manages the control of a vehicle, including collision avoidance, using environmental information from a control device and sensor on the vehicle. It adjusts the vehicle's speed based on the delay in receiving control information and sets different delay thresholds depending on the estimated avoidance difficulty.
- The travel controller executes travel control of a vehicle, including collision avoidance control.
- It receives control information from a control device and environmental data from an environmental sensor on the vehicle.
- The controller regulates the speed of the vehicle based on the delay time in receiving control information.
- It sets the delay threshold to a first threshold when the estimated avoidance difficulty is less than a difficulty threshold.
- The delay threshold is set to a second threshold, lower than the first threshold, when the estimated avoidance difficulty exceeds the difficulty threshold.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotics for enhanced collision avoidance and control in dynamic environments.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in preventing collisions and accidents by adjusting the vehicle's speed based on environmental information and estimated avoidance difficulty.
Benefits
The system improves safety on the road by providing real-time control and collision avoidance capabilities to vehicles.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for autonomous driving systems, in the aerospace sector for drone navigation, and in the robotics industry for automated control systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of sensors and control devices in autonomous vehicles for collision avoidance and control.
Unanswered Questions
How does the travel controller determine the estimated avoidance difficulty from the environmental information?
The abstract does not provide specific details on the methodology used by the travel controller to estimate the avoidance difficulty.
What types of environmental sensors are typically mounted on the vehicle to provide the necessary data for the travel controller?
The abstract does not specify the specific types of environmental sensors used in this system.
Original Abstract Submitted
a travel controller executes travel control of a vehicle including collision avoidance control, based on environmental information including control information received from a control device and environmental data outputted from an environmental sensor mounted on the vehicle, each indicating conditions around the vehicle. the travel controller regulates the speed of the vehicle when a delay time in receiving the control information exceeds a delay threshold. the travel controller sets the delay threshold to a first threshold when an estimated avoidance difficulty from the environmental information is less than a difficulty threshold; and sets the delay threshold to a second threshold less than the first threshold when the estimated avoidance difficulty is greater than the difficulty threshold.
