NAVIGATION ROUTING FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055127 titled 'NAVIGATION ROUTING FOR A VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system for routing a vehicle based on the clearance height of the vehicle. The system includes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), a vehicle communication system, and a controller that determines a navigation route based on the vehicle's clearance height.
- The system uses a GNSS to determine the geographical location of the vehicle.
- The controller receives navigation requests from the vehicle's occupants and determines the vehicle's clearance height.
- Based on the navigation request and the vehicle's clearance height, the controller calculates a navigation route using the GNSS and the vehicle communication system.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as transportation, logistics, and tourism where vehicles with different clearance heights need specific routing information.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of providing accurate navigation routes for vehicles based on their clearance height, ensuring safe and efficient travel.
Benefits
The system ensures that vehicles are routed on paths that accommodate their clearance height, reducing the risk of accidents or damage to the vehicle.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Enhanced Vehicle Routing System for Different Clearance Heights": This technology can be marketed to companies that operate fleets of vehicles with varying clearance heights, such as delivery services or public transportation providers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing vehicle navigation systems that consider vehicle dimensions but may not specifically focus on clearance height as a primary factor in routing decisions.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle real-time updates to clearance height information for the vehicle?
The system may need to incorporate a mechanism for updating clearance height information in real-time to ensure accurate routing decisions.
It is important to address concerns regarding the security and privacy of the data collected and processed by the system to maintain user trust and compliance with data protection regulations.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for routing a vehicle based on clearance height of the vehicle includes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) for determining a geographical location of the vehicle, a vehicle communication system for communicating with external systems, and a controller in electrical communication with the GNSS and the vehicle communication system. The controller is programmed to receive a navigation request from an occupant of the vehicle and determine a vehicle clearance height. The controller is further programmed to determine a navigation route using at least the GNSS and the vehicle communication system in response to receiving the navigation request, where the navigation route is based at least in part on the vehicle clearance height.
