AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM FOR CREATING A PLANNED ROUTE BASED ON MESSAGES DISPLAYED BY ROAD SIGNS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18295967 titled 'AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM FOR CREATING A PLANNED ROUTE BASED ON MESSAGES DISPLAYED BY ROAD SIGNS
Simplified Explanation: The autonomous driving system described in the patent application uses image data from cameras to detect road signs and interpret their messages. Based on the classification of the message and its relevance to future traffic conditions, the system plans a route with updated lane attributes impacted by the road sign.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes image data from cameras to detect and interpret road signs
- Classifies road sign messages based on applicability to future traffic conditions
- Plans a route with updated lane attributes impacted by the road sign message
Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, transportation systems, and traffic management solutions.
Problems Solved: Addresses the need for autonomous vehicles to interpret and respond to road sign messages for safe navigation.
Benefits:
- Enhances the safety and efficiency of autonomous driving systems
- Improves route planning based on real-time road sign information
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by autonomous vehicle manufacturers, transportation companies, and smart city initiatives to improve traffic flow and safety.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior research on autonomous driving systems, image recognition technology, and traffic management solutions for related information.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in image recognition algorithms, real-time traffic data integration, and autonomous vehicle navigation systems.
Questions about Autonomous Driving Systems: 1. How does the autonomous driving system interpret road sign messages? 2. What are the potential implications of using image data for route planning in autonomous vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
An autonomous driving system for a vehicle includes one or more controllers that execute instructions to monitor image data captured by one or more cameras. In response to detecting a road sign in the image data, the controllers interpret a message displayed by the road sign. The controllers classify the message conveyed by the road sign into a sign application class based on a time frame when the message conveyed by the road sign is applicable. In response to determining the message conveyed by the road sign is classified as a future traffic condition encountered by the vehicle, the controllers identify lane segments having one or more updated lane attributes that are impacted by the message of the road sign and determine a planned route based on the one or more updated lane attributes of the lane segments impacted by the message displayed by the road sign.
