INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18330008 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

Abstract: A controller is provided that can identify abnormalities in a road by analyzing the behaviors of multiple vehicles within a specific range. This analysis is triggered by receiving initial information about a potential abnormality in the road.

  • The controller determines abnormalities in a road based on the behaviors of multiple vehicles.
  • The analysis is performed within a predetermined range, including the location indicated by the initial information.
  • The controller uses the behaviors of the vehicles to identify the abnormality in the road.

Potential Applications:

  • Traffic management systems can utilize this technology to quickly identify and address road abnormalities, such as potholes or debris.
  • Autonomous vehicles can benefit from this technology by being alerted to potential road hazards and adjusting their behavior accordingly.
  • City planners and road maintenance crews can use this technology to prioritize repairs and maintenance based on identified abnormalities.

Problems Solved:

  • Traditional methods of identifying road abnormalities rely on manual inspections or reports from drivers, which can be time-consuming and may result in delays in addressing the issues.
  • This technology solves the problem of efficiently and accurately identifying road abnormalities by leveraging the behaviors of multiple vehicles within a specific range.

Benefits:

  • The use of multiple vehicles' behaviors allows for a more comprehensive and accurate identification of road abnormalities.
  • By quickly identifying road abnormalities, this technology can help prevent accidents and improve overall road safety.
  • The automated analysis provided by the controller reduces the need for manual inspections and enables faster response times to address road abnormalities.


Original Abstract Submitted

A controller is provided which is configured to determine, in response to obtaining first information about a possibility of an abnormality in a road, the abnormality in the road based on behaviors of a plurality of vehicles in a predetermined range including a position corresponding to the first information.
