OPERATION SUPPORT DEVICE, SYSTEM, NON-TEMPORARY STORAGE MEDIUM, AND OPERATION SUPPORT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262394 titled 'OPERATION SUPPORT DEVICE, SYSTEM, NON-TEMPORARY STORAGE MEDIUM, AND OPERATION SUPPORT METHOD
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an operation support device that enables autonomous driving of a vehicle. This device predicts the number of emergency vehicles that will appear on the route the vehicle is expected to take and adjusts the vehicle's operation plan accordingly.
- The operation support device operates a vehicle autonomously.
- It includes a control unit that gathers appearance data of emergency vehicles along the route.
- Predicts the number of emergency vehicles that will appear on each link of the route.
- Adjusts the vehicle's operation plan based on the predicted number of emergency vehicle appearances.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Autonomous driving capability.
- Prediction of emergency vehicle appearances.
- Adjustment of operation plan based on predictions.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, emergency response systems, and transportation management.
Problems Solved:
- Enhances safety by predicting the presence of emergency vehicles.
- Optimizes route planning for vehicles.
Benefits:
- Improved safety on the road.
- Efficient operation of autonomous vehicles.
- Enhanced emergency response systems.
Commercial Applications: Title: Autonomous Vehicle Operation Support System This technology can be utilized in autonomous vehicle fleets, emergency services, and transportation logistics companies to improve efficiency and safety.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on autonomous vehicle navigation systems and predictive analytics in transportation management.
Frequently Updated Research: Research on the integration of real-time data for predicting emergency vehicle appearances could be relevant to this technology.
Questions about Autonomous Vehicle Operation Support System: 1. How does the operation support device acquire appearance data of emergency vehicles? 2. What are the potential implications of adjusting the operation plan based on predicted emergency vehicle appearances?
Original Abstract Submitted
an operation support device operates a vehicle by autonomous driving. the operation support device includes a control unit that acquires appearance data indicating an appearance history of emergency vehicles for each of a plurality of links forming a route through which the vehicle is expected to pass, predicts, for each of the links, the number of appearances of emergency vehicles while the vehicle is traveling, based on the acquired appearance data, and adjusts an operation plan of the vehicle according to the predicted number of appearances for each of the links.
