TRAVEL CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240263948 titled 'TRAVEL CONTROL DEVICE
The travel control device described in the patent application includes a processor that generates a target route to a destination, estimates the self-position of the vehicle, calculates a target destination on the target route, and calculates a viewing angle in front of the vehicle to generate a target point candidate within a predetermined distance and angle from the vehicle's self-position based on the look ahead distance.
- The processor calculates a target point candidate within a predetermined distance and angle from the vehicle's self-position.
- The target point candidate is generated based on the look ahead distance from the self-position to the target reach point.
- If the target point is outside the front viewing angle of the vehicle, the point at that time is calculated as the target point.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous driving systems - Navigation systems for vehicles - Robotics and drones for path planning
Problems Solved: - Efficient route planning for vehicles - Improved accuracy in reaching destinations - Enhanced safety by calculating optimal viewing angles
Benefits: - Increased efficiency in navigation - Enhanced safety features for vehicles - Improved accuracy in reaching destinations
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in autonomous vehicles, delivery drones, and navigation systems for commercial fleets. It can also be integrated into mapping and GPS applications for consumer use.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the processor estimate the self-position of the vehicle accurately? 2. What are the potential limitations of the target point candidate generation process?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are constantly working on improving the accuracy and efficiency of route planning algorithms for autonomous vehicles and drones. Stay updated on the latest advancements in this field to leverage the benefits of this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
the travel control device includes a processor, the processor generates a target route to a destination, estimates the self-position of the vehicle, calculates a target destination on the target route, and calculates a viewing angle in front of the vehicle and a vehicle a target point candidate including a target point is generated within a predetermined distance and a predetermined angle from the vehicle's self-position based on the look ahead distance from the self-position to the target reach point, and during the search for the target point candidate when the target point is outside the front viewing angle of the vehicle, the point at that time is calculated as the target point.
