TRAFFIC SAFETY SUPPORT SYSTEM AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17936853 titled 'TRAFFIC SAFETY SUPPORT SYSTEM AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The coordination support device described in the abstract is a system designed to recognize traffic participants, predict their future movements, and notify relevant parties of potential collisions.
- Target traffic area recognizer: Identifies traffic participants within a specific area.
- Predictor: Forecasts the future movements of multiple traffic participants.
- Coordination support information notifier: Alerts designated recipients of potential collisions.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, traffic management systems, and pedestrian safety solutions.
- Problems Solved:**
1. Minimizing the risk of collisions in high-traffic areas. 2. Enhancing coordination and communication among different traffic participants.
- Benefits:**
1. Improved safety for both pedestrians and drivers. 2. Efficient traffic flow management. 3. Enhanced predictive capabilities for traffic control.
- Potential Commercial Applications:**
The technology could be utilized by transportation companies, smart city initiatives, and urban planning agencies to optimize traffic flow and reduce accidents.
- Possible Prior Art:**
Similar technologies may exist in the field of autonomous vehicles and traffic control systems, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.
- Unanswered Questions:**
- 1. How does the device differentiate between various types of traffic participants, such as vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists?**
The abstract does not specify the method used to classify different types of traffic participants within the system.
- 2. What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the collision predictions made by the device?**
The abstract does not detail the validation process or accuracy rates of the collision predictions generated by the system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A coordination support device includes a target traffic area recognizer configured to recognize traffic participants, a predictor configured to predict futures of a plurality of the traffic participants, and a coordination support information notifier configured to notify notification targets. The predictor includes a group classifier configured to divide the plurality of traffic participants into a plurality of moving groups G to G and acquire moving group information, a first predictor configured to predict whether or not a collision will occur among the moving groups G to G on the basis of the moving group information and specifies collision sites in the moving groups that are predicted to collide, and a second predictor configured to determine two or more specific traffic participants among the plurality of traffic participants on the basis of the collision sites and predict whether or not a collision will occur among the specific traffic participants.
