LEADER SELECTION IN V2X GROUP MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17904243 titled 'LEADER SELECTION IN V2X GROUP MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

Techniques described in this patent application involve the selection of a leader among a group of vehicles based on inter-vehicle communications. The process begins with a host vehicle determining if it qualifies to be the leader by comparing its own vehicle information with that of other cars in the potential group. If the host vehicle meets the criteria, it can request to become the group leader to the other vehicles. If accepted, the host vehicle initiates the formation of the group. If rejected, another vehicle can send its own request to become the leader, restarting the negotiation process until a group leader is determined.

  • The host vehicle compares its vehicle information with other cars in the potential group.
  • The host vehicle requests to become the group leader to the other vehicles.
  • The group leader negotiation process continues until a leader is determined.

Potential Applications

  • Autonomous driving systems that require coordination among multiple vehicles.
  • Convoy systems for military or logistics purposes.
  • Carpooling or ride-sharing services where a leader vehicle guides the group.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient selection of a leader among a group of vehicles.
  • Ensuring coordination and communication between vehicles in a group.
  • Reducing the need for manual intervention in determining a group leader.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency and coordination in autonomous driving systems.
  • Enhanced safety and reliability in convoy systems.
  • Streamlined carpooling or ride-sharing services with a designated leader.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques described herein provide for leader selection of a group of vehicles, based on inter-vehicle communications. According to embodiments, a host vehicle can determine it qualifies to be the leader of a potential group by comparing vehicle information of other cars in the potential group with its own vehicle information. Once the determination has been made, the host can then a request to be the group leader to the other vehicles. If the other vehicles accept, the host vehicle can initiate group formation. Otherwise, another vehicle can reject the request and send its own request to become the group leader, reinitiating group leader negotiation until a group leader is determined.
