INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18215932 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing device that can determine the condition of a road surface by analyzing the synchronization and time lag of fluctuations in the rotational speed of wheels on a vehicle.
- The device includes one or more processors.
- The processors acquire the time lag between fluctuations in the rotational speed of a front wheel and a rear wheel of a vehicle.
- The device determines the road surface condition based on the synchronization of fluctuations in the rotational speed of left and right wheels of the vehicle.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in vehicle safety systems, autonomous driving systems, and road condition monitoring systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in assessing road surface conditions accurately, which can improve vehicle stability and safety.
Benefits
The device can enhance driver assistance systems, reduce accidents due to poor road conditions, and improve overall road safety.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Road Safety with Wheel Synchronization Analysis"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to vehicle stability control systems or road condition monitoring systems that use similar principles of analyzing wheel speed fluctuations for determining road surface conditions.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device differentiate between various road surface conditions?
The abstract does not provide details on how the device distinguishes between different types of road surfaces based on wheel speed fluctuations.
What is the accuracy and reliability of the road surface condition determination by the device?
The abstract does not mention the precision or dependability of the road surface condition assessment conducted by the information processing device.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing device includes one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to acquire a time lag between the time of occurrence of fluctuation in the rotational speed of a first wheel on the front side of a vehicle and the time of occurrence of fluctuation in the rotational speed of a second wheel on the rear side of the vehicle. The one or more processors are configured to determine the condition of a road surface using the determination result as to whether the fluctuation in the rotational speed of a left wheel of the vehicle and the fluctuation in the rotational speed of a right wheel of the vehicle are synchronized and the time lag.
