VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240182030 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle control device described in the patent application includes an accelerator pedal, a brake pedal, and a detection unit that monitors the driver's operation of the vehicle and the vehicle's traveling state. The device allows the driver to accelerate by using the accelerator pedal and brake by using the brake pedal. Additionally, the device adjusts the vehicle's deceleration based on the lateral gravitational acceleration detected by the detection unit when the driver releases the brake pedal and accelerates while turning in a curve.
- Accelerator pedal operated by the driver
- Brake pedal operated by the driver to activate braking device
- Detection unit monitors driver's operation and vehicle's traveling state
- Enables acceleration and braking by the driver
- Adjusts deceleration based on lateral gravitational acceleration during turning in a curve
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and buses, to improve safety and control while driving through curves.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in enhancing the driver's control over the vehicle during deceleration and acceleration in curves, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall driving experience.
Benefits
- Improved safety during curve driving - Enhanced control over vehicle deceleration and acceleration - Better driving experience for the driver
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be integrated into vehicles by automotive manufacturers to offer advanced driver assistance systems that enhance safety and control for drivers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of sensors to detect lateral acceleration in vehicles for stability control systems.
Unanswered Questions

The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific technology or sensors used by the detection unit to accurately detect the lateral gravitational acceleration of the vehicle.
Are there any potential limitations or drawbacks of this technology in certain driving conditions or environments?
The patent application does not address any potential limitations or drawbacks of the vehicle control device in extreme weather conditions or challenging terrains where the detection unit's accuracy may be affected.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle control device includes: an accelerator pedal operated by a driver; a brake pedal operated by the driver to activate a braking device; and a detection unit that detects data related to an operation state of a vehicle by the driver, and a traveling state of the vehicle. the vehicle control device is configured to enable acceleration by the driver operating the accelerator pedal, and to enable braking by the driver operating the brake pedal. when the driver releases the brake pedal and depresses the accelerator pedal in a process of decelerating the vehicle at an entrance of a curve and then accelerating the vehicle while turning in the curve, deceleration of the vehicle is set in accordance with a lateral gravitational acceleration of the vehicle detected by the detection unit at time of releasing the brake pedal.
