Method for Operating an Assistance System of a Vehicle With Proactive Suggestion for Carrying Out an Assistance Function, Assistance System, and Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18287691 titled 'Method for Operating an Assistance System of a Vehicle With Proactive Suggestion for Carrying Out an Assistance Function, Assistance System, and Vehicle

The abstract describes a method for operating an assistance system in a vehicle that records a trajectory in which the vehicle was manually maneuvered by a driver in the forward travel direction. The system then receives data describing the environment of the vehicle and/or the behavior of other road users, recognizes a dead-end situation based on this data, and suggests carrying out a reversing function by maneuvering the vehicle along the recorded trajectory in the reverse travel direction.

  • The system records the trajectory of the vehicle when manually maneuvered by the driver.
  • It analyzes data about the vehicle's environment and the behavior of other road users.
  • It identifies a dead-end situation based on this data.
  • The system suggests carrying out a reversing function to maneuver the vehicle in the reverse direction along the recorded trajectory.
  • The driver can accept or reject the suggestion, and if accepted, the system carries out the reversing function.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles to enhance their maneuvering capabilities in complex environments. - It can be used in parking assistance systems to help drivers navigate tight spaces more effectively.

Problems Solved: - Addresses the challenge of maneuvering a vehicle in dead-end situations where reversing is necessary. - Improves the efficiency and safety of vehicle maneuvering in various driving scenarios.

Benefits: - Enhances the driver's ability to navigate challenging road situations. - Reduces the risk of accidents and improves overall driving experience.

Commercial Applications: Title: Autonomous Vehicle Maneuvering System This technology has commercial applications in the automotive industry for developing advanced assistance systems in vehicles. It can be integrated into autonomous driving technologies to improve safety and efficiency on the roads.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine when a dead-end situation occurs? The system uses data about the vehicle's environment and the behavior of other road users to recognize a dead-end situation. 2. What happens if the driver rejects the suggestion to carry out the reversing function? If the driver rejects the suggestion, the system does not initiate the reversing function and allows the driver to maneuver the vehicle manually.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for operating an assistance system of a vehicle includes recording a trajectory along which the vehicle was manually maneuvered by a driver in the forward travel direction, receiving data describing an environment of the vehicle and/or behavior of at least one additional road user, recognizing a dead-end situation based on the received data, suggesting carrying out a reversing function, wherein the vehicle is maneuvered along the recorded trajectory in the reverse travel direction, in dependence on the recognized dead-end situation, and carrying out the reversing function by means of the assistance system if the suggestion is accepted by the driver.
