HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18195669 titled 'HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

The abstract describes a hybrid electric vehicle with an engine, a drive motor, and a controller that can determine whether a passenger is boarding or leaving the vehicle. The controller can then switch the vehicle between pick-up and drop-off driving modes and control the vehicle based on the mode and the passenger's status.

• The hybrid electric vehicle includes an engine, a drive motor, and a controller.
• The controller can determine if a passenger is boarding or leaving the vehicle.
• The vehicle can switch between pick-up and drop-off driving modes based on the passenger's status.
• The controller controls the vehicle according to the mode and the passenger's boarding or leaving status.

Potential Applications: - Transportation services - Ride-sharing companies - Autonomous vehicle technology

Problems Solved: - Efficient passenger pick-up and drop-off processes - Improved vehicle control based on passenger status

Benefits: - Enhanced passenger experience - Optimized vehicle operations - Increased efficiency in transportation services

Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Hybrid Electric Vehicles for Efficient Passenger Transport" This technology could be used in ride-sharing services, public transportation systems, and autonomous vehicle fleets to improve passenger pick-up and drop-off processes.

Prior Art: Research related to smart transportation systems, autonomous vehicles, and passenger detection technology could provide insights into similar innovations.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, passenger detection systems, and hybrid electric vehicle efficiency for potential improvements in this technology.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the controller determine the boarding or leaving state of a passenger? 2. What are the key differences between the pick-up and drop-off driving modes in this hybrid electric vehicle system?

Original Abstract Submitted

A hybrid electric vehicle includes an engine, a drive motor, and a controller configured to determine a boarding state or a leaving state of a passenger, to allow a vehicle to enter a first mode for pick-up driving or a second mode for drop-off driving, and to control the vehicle based on the entered mode and the boarding or leaving state after the entering, and a method of controlling the same.
