AUTOMATIC DRIVING SYSTEM, SERVER, AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18427271 titled 'AUTOMATIC DRIVING SYSTEM, SERVER, AND VEHICLE
The abstract of this patent application describes an automatic driving system that prioritizes the transportation of vehicles based on their shipment priority. The system controls the transport of multiple vehicles from production to shipment by acquiring shipment priorities for each vehicle and instructing them accordingly.
- The system includes a priority acquisition unit to acquire shipment priorities for each vehicle.
- A control instruction unit determines control content for some vehicles based on their acquired priorities.
- Vehicles with higher priorities are transported preferentially over those with lower priorities.
- Each vehicle has a driving control unit that executes driving control according to instructions from the control instruction unit.
Potential Applications: - Logistics and transportation industries - Manufacturing facilities with automated vehicle systems - Warehousing and distribution centers
Problems Solved: - Efficient prioritization of vehicle transport - Streamlining production to shipment processes - Optimizing resource allocation in transportation systems
Benefits: - Faster delivery of high-priority shipments - Improved overall efficiency in transportation operations - Reduced delays and bottlenecks in production processes
Commercial Applications: Automated vehicle systems for industries requiring efficient transportation and shipment prioritization, such as e-commerce, automotive manufacturing, and supply chain management.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the shipment priority for each vehicle? 2. What measures are in place to ensure the safety and reliability of the automated driving system?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in automated driving systems, logistics optimization, and transportation technology to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the prioritization process.
Original Abstract Submitted
An automatic driving system allows a vehicle with a higher shipment priority to be transported preferentially, by controlling transport of each of several vehicles in any of steps from production to shipment includes: a priority acquisition unit configured to acquire a shipment priority set for each vehicle; and a control instruction unit configured to determine control content for at least some of the vehicles using the priority acquired by the priority acquisition unit such that a vehicle of the several vehicles that is given a first priority is transported in preference to another vehicle of the several vehicles that is given a second priority lower than the first priority, and to instruct the at least some of several vehicles on the control content. Each vehicle includes a driving control unit configured to execute driving control according to instructions from the control instruction unit.
