VEHICLE FOR AVOIDING COLLISION AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18516386 titled 'VEHICLE FOR AVOIDING COLLISION AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle for avoiding collisions and a method of operating the vehicle. The vehicle includes sensors to obtain surrounding environment information and a processor to determine collision avoidance strategies based on this information.

  • Sensors obtain surrounding environment information
  • Processor determines collision avoidance strategies based on sensor data
  • Determines maximum lateral movement distance for in-lane collision avoidance
  • Uses line detection information to determine position of driving lane
  • Adjusts collision avoidance strategies based on whether driving lane is detected or not

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and collision avoidance systems in various vehicles.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in preventing collisions by providing real-time information about the surrounding environment and determining the best course of action to avoid accidents.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased safety on the roads, reduced accidents, improved traffic flow, and enhanced driver assistance features.

Potential Commercial Applications

Commercial applications of this technology include integration into autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems in cars, trucks, and buses, and collision avoidance systems in various industries.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of sensors and processors in collision avoidance systems in vehicles. Another could be the use of line detection information for determining driving lane position in autonomous vehicles.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle complex driving scenarios such as intersections or merging lanes?

This technology focuses on in-lane collision avoidance, but it is unclear how it would handle more complex driving scenarios where multiple factors come into play.

What are the limitations of this technology in adverse weather conditions or low visibility situations?

It is not specified how this technology performs in adverse weather conditions or low visibility situations where sensors may not function optimally.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle for avoiding collisions and a method of operating the vehicle. In an embodiment, a vehicle for avoiding a collision can include a plurality of sensors configured to obtain surrounding environment information and a processor operatively connected to the plurality of sensors. The processor can determine whether a line of a driving lane is at least partially detected based on line detection information included in the surrounding environment information, determine a maximum lateral movement distance for in-lane collision avoidance based on a position of the line when the line is at least partially detected, and determine the maximum lateral movement distance for in-lane collision avoidance based on a preset value when the line is not detected.
