VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18183391 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle control device that can prioritize acceleration requests from different systems when the vehicle is stopped.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Processor receives acceleration requests from two systems.
  • Selects one request as the arbitration result.
  • Sets priority for selecting requests based on acquired information.
  • Lower priority for the first system's request when the vehicle is stopped.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in various vehicles to manage acceleration requests from different systems effectively.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of conflicting acceleration requests from multiple systems in a vehicle.

Benefits

Questions about Vehicle Control Device

How does the processor prioritize acceleration requests from different systems?

The processor sets a priority based on acquired information, giving a lower priority to the first system's request when the vehicle is stopped.

What are the potential benefits of using this vehicle control device?

The benefits include efficient management of acceleration requests, improved control over vehicle acceleration, and enhanced safety and performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle control device includes a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first requested value of acceleration acting on a vehicle from a first system configured to request holding a stopped state of the vehicle. The processor is configured to receive a second requested value of the acceleration from a second system. The processor is configured to select one of the first requested value and the second requested value as an arbitration result. The processor is configured to set a priority for selecting the first requested value lower than a priority for selecting the second requested value when the processor acquires predetermined information from one of the first system and the second system while the vehicle is stopped.
