VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240317274 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD
The patent application describes a vehicle control device that can change the speed of a vehicle automatically based on the location of the vehicle on the road.
- The device executes location target speed control, which adjusts the speed of the vehicle when it reaches specific locations on the road where speed changes are necessary.
- The control is implemented differently based on whether the vehicle is in autonomous driving mode with monitoring obligation or without monitoring obligation.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles to enhance safety and efficiency on the road. - It can also be applied in smart transportation systems to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the need for adaptive speed control based on the structure of the road. - Improves the overall driving experience by automatically adjusting the speed of the vehicle in specific locations.
Benefits: - Enhances road safety by ensuring appropriate speed adjustments at critical locations. - Increases the efficiency of autonomous driving systems by optimizing speed control based on road conditions.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be integrated into autonomous vehicles, smart city infrastructure, and transportation management systems to improve overall traffic management and safety.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device differentiate between locations that require speed changes and those that do not? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in real-world driving scenarios?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in autonomous driving technology and smart transportation systems to understand how this innovation can be further optimized and integrated into existing systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle control device specifies a travel location of a subject vehicle; and executes a location target speed control, which is a speed control with respect to a location as a control target for automatically changing a speed of the vehicle when a travel location of the vehicle is a specific location where a speed change of the vehicle is required due to a structure of a road. the vehicle control device executes the location target speed control differently depending on whether the subject vehicle is in the autonomous driving with monitoring obligation or in the autonomous driving with no monitoring obligation.
