VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240217515 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE

The abstract of the patent application describes a vehicle control device that includes a processor for automated acceleration control and sensors to detect driver operations related to acceleration/deceleration.

  • The processor can detect driver intervention during a specific acceleration period when a specific condition is met, changing the set acceleration by the automated system.
  • The specific condition can be a threshold vehicle-to-vehicle distance/time or the absence of a preceding vehicle.
  • The processor can adjust future acceleration settings based on the history of detected driver interventions.

Potential Applications: - Autonomous driving systems - Adaptive cruise control - Collision avoidance systems

Problems Solved: - Enhancing safety by responding to driver interventions during automated acceleration - Improving efficiency by adjusting acceleration settings based on driver behavior

Benefits: - Increased safety on the road - Enhanced driving experience with smoother acceleration control - Potential fuel savings through optimized acceleration patterns

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Vehicle Control Systems for Safer Driving" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for the development of advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous vehicles, and fleet management solutions.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device differentiate between driver intervention and system malfunctions? - The sensors and algorithms are designed to distinguish between intentional driver actions and system errors, ensuring accurate responses. 2. Can the device adapt to different driving styles and preferences? - The device can learn from driver behavior over time and adjust acceleration settings accordingly to accommodate various driving styles.


Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle control device includes: a processor configured to execute automated acceleration control for automatically controlling acceleration of a vehicle; and one or more sensors configured to detect an operation of a driver related to acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle. the processor is configured to detect, during a specific acceleration period in which a specific condition is satisfied and the vehicle is accelerated by the automated acceleration control, an acceleration change operation of the driver that intervenes to change a set acceleration set by the automated acceleration control. the specific condition indicates that a vehicle-to-vehicle distance or a vehicle-to-vehicle time between the vehicle and a preceding vehicle is equal to or greater than a threshold value or that there is no preceding vehicle. the processor is also configured to change the set acceleration for future acceleration based on a history of the detected acceleration change operation.
