TRAVEL CONTROL SYSTEM, TRAVEL CONTROL DEVICE, TRAVEL CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18403348 titled 'TRAVEL CONTROL SYSTEM, TRAVEL CONTROL DEVICE, TRAVEL CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a travel control system that can detect and manage the movement of a target vehicle in relation to a host vehicle. When the target vehicle is approaching the host vehicle from one side and moving towards a space connected to the host vehicle's travel path, the system can stop the host vehicle to allow the target vehicle to move into the space.

  • The system includes a processor that can detect move-related behavior of the target vehicle.
  • When the move-related behavior is detected, the system performs an admission control process to allow the target vehicle to move into the space.
  • The admission control process involves stopping the host vehicle and reserving a specific distance for the target vehicle to enter the space.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Detection of move-related behavior of a target vehicle in relation to a host vehicle.
  • Admission control process to allow the target vehicle to move into a space connected to the host vehicle's travel path.
  • Reservation of an admission distance to facilitate the movement of the target vehicle.

Potential Applications

The technology could be used in autonomous vehicles, parking systems, and traffic management systems.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently managing the movement of vehicles in close proximity to each other, reducing the risk of collisions and improving overall traffic flow.

Benefits

  • Enhanced safety for vehicles in close proximity.
  • Improved traffic management and flow.
  • Potential for integration with autonomous vehicle systems.

Commercial Applications

  • Parking systems for efficient vehicle parking.
  • Autonomous vehicle technology for enhanced safety and control.
  • Traffic management systems for optimized traffic flow.

Questions about the Technology

How does the travel control system detect move-related behavior of the target vehicle?

The system uses sensors and algorithms to analyze the movement patterns of the target vehicle in relation to the host vehicle.

What are the potential implications of integrating this technology with autonomous vehicle systems?

Integrating this technology with autonomous vehicles could enhance their ability to navigate complex traffic situations and improve overall safety on the roads.


Original Abstract Submitted

A travel control system includes a processor, and controls travel of a host vehicle. The processor is configured to detect a move-related behavior indicating move of a target vehicle to a space connected to a travel path of a host vehicle, when the target vehicle is traveling from a travel direction side of the host vehicle toward an existence direction side of the host vehicle. The processor is configured to perform, when detecting the move-related behavior, an admission control to admit move of the target vehicle to the space. The admission control includes stopping the traveling host vehicle with an admission distance being reserved for admitting move of the target vehicle to the space.
