DRIVER ASSISTANCE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253656 titled 'DRIVER ASSISTANCE DEVICE

The driver assistance device provides notifications to the user of a vehicle based on the possibility of contact between the vehicle and surrounding objects.

  • Notification unit in the driver assistance device gives notifications based on predicted trajectories of the vehicle and surrounding objects.
  • Predictions are made using position potential information indicating the relationship between future positions of the vehicle and surrounding objects.
  • Probabilities of the vehicle or surrounding objects being located at future positions are calculated for timely notifications.

Potential Applications: - Automotive safety systems - Collision avoidance technology - Autonomous driving systems

Problems Solved: - Minimizing the risk of collisions - Enhancing driver awareness - Improving overall road safety

Benefits: - Increased safety for drivers and pedestrians - Reduced accidents and property damage - Enhanced driving experience

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for Enhanced Safety This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to integrate advanced safety features into vehicles, appealing to safety-conscious consumers and potentially reducing insurance costs.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the driver assistance device determine the probabilities of contact between the vehicle and surrounding objects? 2. What are the key factors influencing the accuracy of trajectory predictions in the driver assistance device?


Original Abstract Submitted

the driver assistance device gives a notification to a user of a vehicle. the driver assistance device includes a notification unit that gives the notification according to a possibility of contact between the vehicle and a surrounding object based trajectories of the vehicle and the surrounding object that are predicted based on position potential information indicating a relationship between a plurality of future positions at a second time that is a short amount of time after a first time and probabilities that the vehicle or the surrounding vehicle is located at the future positions at the second time.
