DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240339034 titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE

The driving assistance device controls the notification device to issue a predetermined alert to the occupants of the own vehicle if, at a first point in time, it detects the existence of a first driving lane adjacent to the lane in which the own vehicle is traveling, and no stationary object is present in a predetermined area located ahead of the own vehicle in that first driving lane, and then, at a second point in time after the first point in time, when the own vehicle is positioned on the side of this predetermined area, it detects the presence of a solid object within said area and that the distance between this solid object and the own vehicle is less than a threshold.

  • The device alerts occupants of the vehicle if it detects a nearby driving lane and no stationary object ahead.
  • It issues a warning if a solid object is detected within a certain distance from the vehicle.
  • The system helps prevent collisions by notifying drivers of potential hazards.
  • The technology enhances safety by providing timely alerts to drivers.
  • It improves overall driving awareness and reduces the risk of accidents.

Potential Applications: - Automotive safety systems - Driver assistance technology - Collision avoidance systems

Problems Solved: - Lack of awareness of nearby driving lanes - Failure to detect stationary objects ahead - Limited visibility of potential hazards

Benefits: - Increased driver safety - Prevention of accidents - Enhanced driving awareness

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for Enhanced Safety This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry to develop advanced driver assistance systems that enhance safety on the roads. It can be integrated into vehicles to provide real-time alerts to drivers, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall driving awareness.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve driver safety on the roads? - This technology enhances driver safety by providing timely alerts about nearby driving lanes and potential hazards, reducing the risk of accidents. 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this innovation? - The technology can be used in the automotive industry to develop advanced driver assistance systems that enhance safety and driving awareness.
