TRAVEL DETERMINATION METHOD AND TRAVEL DETERMINATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18428888 titled 'TRAVEL DETERMINATION METHOD AND TRAVEL DETERMINATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for determining the travel priority of unmanned ground vehicles based on their digital certificates.

  • Unmanned ground vehicles hold digital certificates based on their purpose or service.
  • The method involves obtaining the digital certificates of the vehicles and prioritizing their travel based on the certificates.
  • The determination is made when the vehicles travel on corresponding transport routes.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicle systems, logistics and transportation management, and military operations.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficient management and coordination of unmanned ground vehicles, ensuring optimal use of resources and enhancing overall operational effectiveness.

Benefits

The method optimizes the travel routes of unmanned ground vehicles, reduces congestion, minimizes delays, and improves overall system efficiency.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be utilized by companies involved in autonomous vehicle development, transportation and logistics companies, and defense contractors.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of digital certificates in other fields such as cybersecurity and authentication systems.

What are the potential security implications of prioritizing travel based on digital certificates in unmanned ground vehicles?

Prioritizing travel based on digital certificates could ensure that vehicles with critical missions or services are given priority, but it could also potentially lead to security vulnerabilities if the certificates are compromised or manipulated.

How could this technology be integrated with existing transportation management systems?

This technology could be integrated with existing transportation management systems through APIs or software interfaces that allow for seamless communication and coordination between unmanned ground vehicles and the overall transportation network.


Original Abstract Submitted

A first vehicle is an unmanned ground vehicle and holds a first digital certificate according to at least one of a vehicle purpose of the first vehicle and a service of the first vehicle, and a second vehicle holds a second digital certificate according to at least one of a vehicle purpose of the second vehicle and a service of the second vehicle. A travel determination method includes obtaining the first digital certificate and the second digital certificate, and determining whether to prioritize travel of the first vehicle or the second vehicle, based on the first digital certificate and the second digital certificate obtained, when each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle travels on a corresponding transport route.
