VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519267 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle control device described in the abstract is a system that can recognize the surrounding situation of a vehicle, generate a target route based on this information, and perform lane-keeping control along the target route. The system also includes a feature that stops the lane-keeping control when the direction indicator is activated, either continuously or for a predetermined number of times or period.
- Recognizes surrounding situation of vehicle
- Generates target route for lane-keeping control
- Stops lane-keeping control when direction indicator is activated
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and smart transportation systems.
Problems Solved
- Enhances safety by allowing drivers to easily change lanes without interference from lane-keeping control - Improves driving experience by providing smoother transitions between manual and automated driving modes
Benefits
- Increased safety on the road - Enhanced user experience for drivers - Potential for improved traffic flow and efficiency in transportation systems
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized Lane-Keeping Control System for Enhanced Driver Assistance
Possible Prior Art
There are existing systems that assist with lane-keeping control in vehicles, but the specific feature of stopping lane-keeping control when the direction indicator is activated may be a novel aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle sudden lane changes by the driver?
The system may need to have a mechanism to quickly adapt to sudden lane changes initiated by the driver to ensure smooth and safe transitions.
What is the impact of external factors, such as weather conditions, on the effectiveness of this technology?
External factors like heavy rain or snow may affect the system's ability to accurately recognize the surrounding situation and generate appropriate target routes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle control device includes a storage medium configured to store computer-readable instructions and a processor connected to the storage medium, in which the processor executes the computer-readable instructions to recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle, generate a target route of the vehicle on the basis of the recognized surrounding situation to perform lane keeping control of the vehicle along the target route, and stop the lane keeping control while a direction indicator is activated in both of a first case in which the direction indicator is continuously operated by operating an operating unit from a reference position to a first position and a second case in which the direction indicator is activated a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined period of time by operating the operating unit from the reference position to a second position where an amount of operation is smaller than at the first position.
