INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253625 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS
The abstract describes a controller that obtains information about the travel of two vehicles and outputs instructions for one vehicle to give way to the other based on predetermined conditions being met.
- The controller gathers data on the travel of the first and second vehicles.
- It analyzes this information to determine if the first vehicle needs to give way to the second vehicle.
- If conditions are met, the controller sends a command to the first vehicle to take a give-way action.
- Additionally, it provides information to the second vehicle about the first vehicle giving way.
- The system ensures safe and efficient traffic flow by facilitating vehicle interactions on the road.
Potential Applications: - Traffic management systems - Autonomous vehicle technology - Collision avoidance systems
Problems Solved: - Preventing accidents at intersections - Improving traffic flow and efficiency - Enhancing communication between vehicles
Benefits: - Increased road safety - Reduced traffic congestion - Enhanced coordination between vehicles
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Traffic Control System for Safer Roads" This technology can be utilized by traffic management authorities, automotive companies, and smart city initiatives to improve road safety and traffic flow. It has the potential to revolutionize how vehicles interact on the road, leading to safer and more efficient transportation systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the controller determine when the first vehicle should give way to the second vehicle? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on autonomous vehicle development?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continuously exploring ways to enhance the capabilities of traffic control systems through advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques. Stay updated on the latest developments in this field to understand the evolving landscape of smart transportation technologies.
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a controller that is configured to perform: obtaining information about travel of a first vehicle; obtaining information about travel of a second vehicle; and outputting to the second vehicle information about the first vehicle giving way, and outputting a command for the first vehicle to take a give-way action, in response to determining, based on the information about the travel of the first vehicle and the information about the travel of the second vehicle, that predetermined conditions for the first vehicle to give way to the second vehicle are satisfied.
