DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18413233 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE
The driving support device described in the patent application includes a vehicle speed control unit that sets a target vehicle speed and controls the vehicle's speed based on this target speed. Additionally, there is an operation state determination unit that decides whether a turning assistance function can be operated in a curve in front of the vehicle. If the turning assistance function can be used, the vehicle speed control unit increases the target speed in the curve compared to when the function cannot be operated.
- Vehicle speed control unit sets target speed and controls vehicle speed
- Operation state determination unit decides on turning assistance function in curves
- Increase in target speed in curves when turning assistance function can be operated
Potential Applications: - Advanced driver assistance systems - Autonomous vehicles - Vehicle safety technologies
Problems Solved: - Enhancing vehicle maneuverability in curves - Improving overall driving safety
Benefits: - Increased control and safety while driving - Enhanced driving experience in challenging road conditions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Driving Assistance System for Enhanced Vehicle Maneuverability" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for the development of advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous vehicles, and safety technologies, catering to a wide range of consumers and businesses.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the turning assistance function improve vehicle maneuverability in curves? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on road safety and accident prevention?
Original Abstract Submitted
The driving support device includes a vehicle speed control unit that sets a target vehicle speed of the vehicle and controls a speed of the vehicle based on the target vehicle speed, and an operation state determination unit that determines whether or not a turning assistance function that assists turning of the vehicle can be operated in a curve in front of the vehicle. When it is determined that the turning assistance function can be operated, the vehicle speed control unit increases the target vehicle speed in the curve as compared with a case where it is determined that the turning assistance function cannot be operated.
