PROPULSION STRESS AWARE NAVIGATION ROUTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18062772 titled 'PROPULSION STRESS AWARE NAVIGATION ROUTING
The patent application describes a system for routing a vehicle based on roadway characteristics, including a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), a vehicle communication system, and a vehicle controller.
- The vehicle controller determines the vehicle's mass, height, and width, and receives navigation requests from occupants.
- It then calculates a navigation route using the GNSS and communication system, taking into account the vehicle's characteristics.
- The navigation route is customized based on the vehicle's mass, height, and width to ensure safe and efficient travel.
Potential Applications: - Transportation and logistics industries for optimizing routes based on vehicle characteristics. - Emergency services for quickly and safely navigating vehicles to specific locations. - Autonomous vehicles for efficient and safe navigation on roadways.
Problems Solved: - Ensures that vehicles are routed on roads that can accommodate their size and weight. - Improves safety by preventing vehicles from being directed to unsuitable roads. - Enhances efficiency by optimizing routes based on vehicle characteristics.
Benefits: - Increased safety for vehicles and occupants. - Improved efficiency in route planning. - Customized navigation routes for different types of vehicles.
Commercial Applications: Title: Vehicle Routing System for Enhanced Safety and Efficiency This technology can be used in fleet management systems, navigation apps, and vehicle tracking services to provide customized routing solutions for different types of vehicles, improving overall safety and efficiency in transportation operations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the vehicle's mass, height, and width accurately? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for routing a vehicle based on roadway characteristics includes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) for determining a geographical location of the vehicle, a vehicle communication system for communicating with server systems, and a vehicle controller in electrical communication with the GNSS and the vehicle communication system. The vehicle controller is programmed to determine a vehicle mass, vehicle height, and vehicle width and receive a navigation request from an occupant of the vehicle. The vehicle 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. The navigation route is based at least in part on the vehicle mass, vehicle height, and vehicle width.
