CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18382743 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

The abstract of this patent application describes a control device that utilizes a memory device to store a first function based on a driving dataset for multiple drivers, and a processor to calculate vehicle-to-vehicle preference values for a driver during follow-up driving in manual driving, and then determine driving preference values for acceleration, deceleration, deceleration timing, and acceleration timing in automated driving with the driver on board.

• The control device stores a first function based on a driving dataset for multiple drivers.
• The processor calculates vehicle-to-vehicle preference values for a driver during follow-up driving in manual driving.
• The device determines driving preference values for acceleration, deceleration, deceleration timing, and acceleration timing in automated driving with the driver on board.

Original Abstract Submitted

A control device includes a memory device configured to store a first function, and a processor. The first function is specified in advance based on a driving dataset for a plurality of drivers. The processor is configured to: calculate, in accordance with the first function, a vehicle-to-vehicle preference value of a driver according to vehicle-to-vehicle information and subject vehicle speed acquired during follow-up driving in manual driving; calculate, based on the calculated vehicle-to-vehicle preference value, one or more remaining driving preference values for at least one of acceleration, deceleration, deceleration timing, and acceleration timing; and execute, based on the calculated one or more remaining driving preference values, a target value calculation process of calculating one or more control target values for the at least one of the acceleration, the deceleration, the deceleration timing, and the acceleration timing in automated driving with the driver on board.
