VEHICLE MOVING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240227801 titled 'VEHICLE MOVING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system where a vehicle can autonomously control its acceleration and deceleration to maintain a safe distance from both the preceding vehicle and the following vehicle.
- The vehicle moving apparatus stops autonomous acceleration/deceleration control.
- The vehicle then autonomously controls its acceleration and deceleration to keep a safe distance from the preceding vehicle and the following vehicle.
- This control is activated when the distance between the preceding vehicle and the following vehicle becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined distance.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Autonomous control of acceleration and deceleration to maintain safe distances.
- Transition from autonomous acceleration/deceleration control to distance-based control.
- Ensuring safety by adjusting speed based on surrounding vehicles.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, adaptive cruise control systems, and traffic management systems.
Problems Solved:
- Ensures safe following distances between vehicles.
- Prevents collisions and rear-end accidents.
- Enhances overall road safety and traffic flow.
Benefits:
- Improved safety on the roads.
- Enhanced efficiency in traffic flow.
- Reduced risk of accidents and collisions.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for the development of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles, leading to safer and more efficient transportation solutions.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system determine the safe distance between vehicles? 2. What happens if there are sudden changes in traffic conditions while the system is in control?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continuously exploring ways to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of distance-based control systems in vehicles to further improve road safety and traffic management.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle moving apparatus stops executing an autonomous acceleration/deceleration control and executes a control to autonomously control an acceleration and a deceleration of an own vehicle so as to maintain a distance between the own vehicle and a preceding vehicle when there is a following vehicle, and a distance between the preceding vehicle and the following vehicle becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined distance while the autonomous acceleration/deceleration control is executed.
