Simplified Explanation

Abstract

A display device is used to show the host vehicle and other vehicles on an information display screen. When the other vehicles are located far ahead outside the screen's display range, the display device shows marks indicating their presence at fixed positions on the driving lanes displayed on the screen.

Explanation

  • The display device shows the host vehicle and other vehicles on a screen.
  • If the other vehicles are far ahead and outside the screen's display range, marks are displayed on the driving lanes to indicate their presence.
  • These marks are fixed in position on the screen.

Potential Applications

  • Automotive industry: This technology can be used in vehicles to provide drivers with a better understanding of the surrounding traffic, especially when vehicles are far ahead.
  • Navigation systems: The display device can enhance navigation systems by showing the presence of vehicles outside the screen's range, allowing for better route planning and awareness of traffic conditions.

Problems Solved

  • Limited display range: The technology solves the problem of not being able to see vehicles that are far ahead on the road due to the limited display range of the screen.
  • Improved situational awareness: By displaying marks indicating the presence of vehicles outside the screen's range, drivers can have a better understanding of the traffic situation and make informed decisions.

Benefits

  • Enhanced safety: The display device improves safety by providing drivers with a more comprehensive view of the traffic, even when vehicles are far ahead.
  • Improved navigation: The technology enhances navigation systems by providing real-time information about the presence of vehicles outside the screen's range, allowing for better route planning and decision-making.
