PRESENTATION CONTROL DEVICE, AND AUTOMATED DRIVE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18402223 titled 'PRESENTATION CONTROL DEVICE, AND AUTOMATED DRIVE CONTROL DEVICE
The abstract describes an automated drive control device that allows a subject vehicle to travel autonomously without the driver needing to monitor stops due to congestion. The device can determine if the elapsed time after a stop exceeds a set limit, eliminating the need for driver input to resume travel if the time is within the limit, but requiring driver input if the time exceeds the limit.
- Automated drive control device for autonomous traveling of a subject vehicle
- Determines elapsed time after a stop to decide on resuming travel
- Eliminates the need for driver input if elapsed time is within a predetermined limit
- Requires driver input if elapsed time exceeds the predetermined limit
- Enhances autonomous driving experience by reducing driver intervention
Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Traffic management systems - Fleet management solutions
Problems Solved: - Reducing driver fatigue in congested traffic situations - Improving efficiency of autonomous driving systems
Benefits: - Increased safety on the road - Enhanced convenience for drivers in traffic jams - Optimized traffic flow and reduced congestion
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Autonomous Drive Control Device for Traffic Management" This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, transportation companies, and smart city initiatives to improve traffic flow, reduce accidents, and enhance overall driving experience.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the automated drive control device determine when to resume travel without driver input? - The device uses a predetermined time limit to decide whether driver input is required based on the elapsed time after a stop. 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on the future of autonomous driving systems? - This technology could lead to more efficient and safer autonomous driving experiences, reducing the need for constant driver monitoring in congested traffic conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
An automated drive control device that enables traveling of a subject vehicle by an automated driving function is provided. The automated drive control device is configured to determine whether an elapsed time after the stop exceeds a predetermined time when the subject vehicle that has been traveling by autonomous traveling control in which a driver of the subject vehicle is not obliged to monitor periphery stops due to congestion, cause an input by the driver to not be required for resuming the traveling of the subject vehicle when the elapsed time does not exceed the predetermined time, and resume the traveling of the subject vehicle on a basis of an input by the driver when the elapsed time exceeds the predetermined time.
