APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18229806 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
The abstract describes an autonomous vehicle control apparatus that includes a sensor for obtaining sensing information about an entity around the vehicle, a camera for capturing an image of the entity, and processors that determine if the entity will reach the vehicle after a door opens and control the door's position.
- Sensor gathers information about entity near vehicle
- Camera captures image of the entity
- Processors analyze data to predict if entity will reach vehicle after door opens
- Control door position based on analysis
Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Vehicle safety systems - Smart transportation systems
Problems Solved: - Enhances safety by predicting potential collisions - Improves efficiency of vehicle operations - Reduces risk of accidents involving pedestrians
Benefits: - Increased safety for passengers and pedestrians - Enhanced automation in vehicle control - Improved overall transportation system efficiency
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Autonomous Vehicle Safety System for Enhanced Transportation Efficiency" This technology can be utilized in autonomous vehicles, public transportation systems, and smart city initiatives to improve safety and efficiency in transportation operations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the autonomous vehicle control apparatus enhance safety for passengers and pedestrians? - The technology predicts potential collisions with entities near the vehicle, allowing for proactive measures to be taken to avoid accidents. 2. What are the key components of the autonomous vehicle control apparatus and how do they work together to control the door position? - The sensor, camera, and processors work in tandem to gather data, analyze it, and make decisions regarding the door position based on the information collected.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is an autonomous vehicle control apparatus including a sensor that obtains sensing information associated with an entity around a vehicle, a camera that obtains an image of the entity, and one or more processor that determine whether the entity is estimated to reach the vehicle at least a predetermined time after a door of the vehicle opens, and control a position of the door.
