METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ASSISTING DETECTION OF OBJECTS IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18487646 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ASSISTING DETECTION OF OBJECTS IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for operating a driver assistance system in a motor vehicle to assist in detecting objects in the vehicle's environment. The system utilizes a height-adjustable chassis that can be set into different positions depending on the driving maneuver being performed.
- The height-adjustable chassis is set into a driving position during a driving maneuver, allowing objects to be detected at a regular distance from the vehicle.
- During a parking maneuver, the chassis is automatically set into a parking position, enabling detection of objects at a smaller distance from the vehicle.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various driver assistance systems in motor vehicles, enhancing object detection capabilities during both driving and parking maneuvers.
Problems Solved
This technology helps improve safety by assisting drivers in detecting objects in the vehicle's environment, reducing the risk of collisions and accidents.
Benefits
- Enhanced object detection capabilities - Improved safety for drivers and pedestrians - Automated adjustment of chassis for different driving maneuvers
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be integrated into advanced driver assistance systems in commercial vehicles, passenger cars, and autonomous vehicles, offering enhanced safety features to consumers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing driver assistance systems that utilize sensors and cameras to detect objects in a vehicle's environment. However, the specific implementation of a height-adjustable chassis for different driving maneuvers may be a novel aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between driving and parking maneuvers to adjust the chassis position accordingly?
The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific sensors or algorithms used to determine the type of maneuver being performed and adjust the chassis position accordingly.
What are the potential limitations or challenges of implementing a height-adjustable chassis in a driver assistance system?
The patent application does not address any potential drawbacks or technical challenges that may arise from integrating a height-adjustable chassis into a motor vehicle's driver assistance system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for operating a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle for assisting detection of objects in an environment of the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle is equipped with a height-adjustable chassis. During a driving maneuver, the height-adjustable chassis is set into a driving position in which an object can be detected at a regular distance from the motor vehicle. During a parking maneuver, the height-adjustable chassis is automatically set into a parking position in which an object can be detected at a smaller distance from the motor vehicle. A device that is configured to carry out the method, and a corresponding computer program, are also described.
