METHOD FOR MONITORING A LANE CHANGE OF A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18497413 titled 'METHOD FOR MONITORING A LANE CHANGE OF A VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for monitoring a lane change of a vehicle by determining a collision point, checking for possible collisions with road users, and providing adjustment specifications to avoid collisions during the lane change.

  • Ascertaining a collision point based on a movement specification specific to the planned movement of the vehicle for the lane change.
  • Checking for possible collisions with road users using the collision point and at least one state parameter of the vehicle.
  • Determining adjustment specifications to avoid possible collisions.
  • Providing the adjustment specifications to monitor the lane change.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous vehicles, and collision avoidance systems.

Problems Solved

This technology helps prevent collisions during lane changes, improving road safety and reducing accidents.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased safety for both the vehicle occupants and other road users, reduced accidents, and improved overall traffic flow efficiency.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include integration into automotive safety systems, licensing to automotive manufacturers, and development of aftermarket collision avoidance products.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing collision avoidance systems in vehicles that use sensors and cameras to detect obstacles and alert the driver.

=== What are the specific state parameters of the vehicle used to check for possible collisions? The specific state parameters of the vehicle used to check for possible collisions are not specified in the abstract. These parameters could include speed, acceleration, position, and direction of the vehicle.

=== How does the adjustment specification work to avoid possible collisions during the lane change? The abstract does not provide details on how the adjustment specification works to avoid possible collisions during the lane change. Further information on the specific algorithms or mechanisms used for adjusting the vehicle's trajectory would be needed to understand this aspect of the technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for monitoring a lane change of a vehicle. The method includes: ascertaining a collision point on the basis of a movement specification, wherein the movement specification is specific for a planned movement of the vehicle along a path for carrying out the lane change; checking for a possible collision of the vehicle with a road user on the basis of the ascertained collision point and at least one state parameter of the vehicle; determining an adjustment specification to avoid the possible collision; and providing the adjustment specification to monitor the lane change.
