Vehicle And Method Of Controlling The Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18233527 titled 'Vehicle And Method Of Controlling The Same
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a vehicle system that uses cameras and suspensions to detect and respond to overtaking vehicles.
- The vehicle includes a camera with a field of view of the host vehicle, suspensions at each wheel, and a controller connected to the suspensions.
- The controller uses image data from the camera to determine the position of an overtaking vehicle relative to the host vehicle.
- Based on the position of the overtaking vehicle, the controller adjusts the damping force of the suspensions to improve stability and comfort.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and vehicle safety systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps improve vehicle stability and comfort by adjusting suspension damping in response to overtaking vehicles, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing the driving experience.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved safety, enhanced driving comfort, and better overall vehicle performance.
Potential Commercial Applications
Commercial applications of this technology could include integration into new vehicle models, aftermarket vehicle safety systems, and fleet management solutions.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing adaptive suspension systems that adjust damping based on road conditions, but not specifically in response to overtaking vehicles.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between different types of overtaking vehicles, such as cars, trucks, or motorcycles?
The system may use advanced image recognition algorithms to analyze the size, shape, and movement patterns of overtaking vehicles to differentiate between them.
What is the impact of adjusting suspension damping on fuel efficiency and tire wear?
Adjusting suspension damping may affect fuel efficiency and tire wear, as stiffer damping settings could result in increased energy consumption and faster tire degradation. Further research and testing would be needed to determine the exact impact.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure include a camera having a surrounding field of view of a host vehicle and configured to obtain image data, a plurality of suspensions provided at a corresponding wheel of the host vehicle, a controller electrically connected to the plurality of suspensions and comprising one or more processors and memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the controller to: determine, based on the image data, a position, relative to the host vehicle, of an overtaking vehicle overtaking the host vehicle, and control, based on the position of the overtaking vehicle, a damping force of at least one of the plurality of suspensions.
