DEVICE AND METHOD FOR V2X COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18434111 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR V2X COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for a vehicle to obtain information about its own location through V2X communication, involving receiving messages from roadside units and surrounding vehicles to calculate the vehicle's location.

  • Receiving V2I message with location information from RSU
  • Receiving V2X message with reception time information from surrounding vehicles
  • Calculating relative position of RSU to current vehicle based on reception time information
  • Acquiring current vehicle location based on relative location of RSU and RSU location information

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, traffic management systems, and location-based services.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately determining a vehicle's location in real-time using V2X communication.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved navigation accuracy, enhanced safety features, and increased efficiency in traffic flow.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include vehicle tracking systems, smart city infrastructure, and fleet management solutions.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be GPS technology used in vehicles for navigation and location tracking.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle communication disruptions or interference?

The article does not address how the method copes with communication issues that may affect the accuracy of location information.

What are the potential privacy concerns associated with collecting and sharing location data through V2X communication?

The article does not discuss the privacy implications of gathering and transmitting location information in this manner.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for obtaining, by a vehicle, information regarding its own location through V2X communication is disclosed. Specifically, the method for obtaining location information of a vehicle may comprise the steps of: receiving a V2I message including location information of a road side unit (RSU) from the RSU; receiving a V2X message including reception time information related to a time when the V2I message is received from each of a first surrounding vehicle and a second surrounding vehicle; calculating a relative position of the RSU relative to the current vehicle on the basis of the reception time information and the time at which the current vehicle received the V2I message; and acquiring the location of the current vehicle on the basis of the relative location of the RSU and the location information of the RSU.
