NAVIGATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18522678 titled 'NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The abstract describes a navigation system that estimates the risk of an accident at a specific location along a route and displays objects indicating potential collision targets based on this risk level.
- The navigation system includes a memory, a display, and a processor.
- The processor estimates the risk of an accident at a particular location and controls the display to show collision targets based on this risk level.
- The displayed objects help the driver of the host vehicle to be aware of potential hazards along the route.
- This innovation aims to enhance road safety by providing real-time information about potential accidents and collision risks.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be integrated into existing navigation systems in vehicles to improve driver awareness and safety. - It can also be used in autonomous vehicles to enhance their ability to navigate and avoid accidents.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of limited real-time information about potential accidents and collision risks while driving. - Helps drivers make informed decisions to avoid accidents and improve road safety.
Benefits: - Enhances driver safety by providing real-time information about potential collision risks. - Improves overall road safety by alerting drivers to potential hazards along their route.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be valuable for automotive companies, insurance companies, and fleet management companies looking to enhance driver safety and reduce accidents. - It can also be useful for transportation companies and logistics providers to optimize route planning and minimize the risk of accidents.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the navigation system estimate the risk of an accident at a specific location? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the automotive industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
A navigation system, including: a memory; a display; and a processor coupled to the memory and to the display, the processor being configured to: at a time of route guidance for a host vehicle, estimate an aspect of an accident at a vicinity of the route and a risk of the accident; and control the display so as to display objects indicating a collision target corresponding to the aspect of the accident, with a number of the objects corresponding to a level of the risk.
