CLOUD-DETERMINED, VEHICLE-SPECIFIC VULNERABLE ROADSIDE UNIT (VRU) BOUNDING BOX - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240321102 titled 'CLOUD-DETERMINED, VEHICLE-SPECIFIC VULNERABLE ROADSIDE UNIT (VRU) BOUNDING BOX
- Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication to enhance safety for vulnerable road users (VRUs) in the vicinity of vehicles. A network entity calculates dimensions of a bounding box around a VRU and provides this information to approaching vehicles. A vehicle on-board unit (OBU) receives the bounding box dimensions from the network entity and uses them for safety calculations and collision avoidance.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Calculation of dimensions of a bounding box around a VRU in the vicinity of a vehicle. - Provision of bounding box dimensions to approaching vehicles for enhanced safety. - Utilization of bounding box information by OBUs for safety calculations and collision avoidance.
- Potential Applications:**
- Road safety systems for vehicles and VRUs. - Collision avoidance technology for urban environments. - Enhanced communication between network entities and vehicles.
- Problems Solved:**
- Improving safety for VRUs in the vicinity of vehicles. - Enhancing collision avoidance capabilities. - Facilitating better communication between network entities and vehicles.
- Benefits:**
- Increased safety for vulnerable road users. - Reduced risk of collisions. - Improved efficiency of wireless communication for road safety.
- Commercial Applications:**
Title: Wireless Communication System for Enhanced Road Safety Potential commercial uses include: - Integration into vehicle safety systems. - Adoption by urban transportation authorities for improved road safety. - Licensing to automotive manufacturers for inclusion in new vehicles.
- Questions about Wireless Communication System for Enhanced Road Safety:**
1. How does the system calculate the dimensions of the bounding box around a vulnerable road user? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on reducing accidents involving vulnerable road users?
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. in a first aspect, a network entity may calculate dimensions of a bounding box surrounding a vulnerable road user (vru) in a vicinity of an approaching vehicle. the network entity may provide the dimensions of the bounding box to the approaching vehicle. in a second aspect, a vehicle on-board unit (obu) may receive, from a network entity, dimensions of a bounding box surrounding a vru in a vicinity of the vehicle. the obu may use the bounding box for vru safety calculations and collision avoidance.
