METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN EGO VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18529267 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN EGO VEHICLE
The abstract describes a method for controlling an ego vehicle by receiving map data, determining a safe driving corridor, and a safety region based on the vehicle's motion state, checking if the safety region is within the safe driving corridor, and outputting a control signal for a safety maneuver if needed.
- The method involves receiving map data of the surrounding environment of the ego vehicle.
- It determines a safe driving corridor based on the map data.
- A safety region is determined based on the ego vehicle's motion state.
- It checks if the safety region is within the safe driving corridor during the vehicle's travel.
- A control signal is outputted for executing a safety maneuver if the safety region is partially or completely outside the safe driving corridor.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous driving systems - Vehicle safety technology - Traffic management systems
Problems Solved: - Ensuring safe navigation for ego vehicles - Preventing collisions and accidents - Improving overall road safety
Benefits: - Enhanced safety for both passengers and pedestrians - Efficient and reliable navigation for vehicles - Reduced risk of accidents and traffic congestion
Commercial Applications: Title: Autonomous Vehicle Safety System This technology can be utilized in autonomous vehicles, transportation companies, and smart city initiatives to enhance road safety and optimize traffic flow.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the overall safety of ego vehicles? - This method enhances safety by ensuring that the ego vehicle stays within a designated safe driving corridor, reducing the risk of accidents. 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the future of autonomous driving? - This technology could significantly impact the development and implementation of autonomous driving systems by providing a reliable safety mechanism.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for controlling an ego vehicle. The method includes: receiving map data of a map representation of a surrounding environment of an ego vehicle; determining a safe driving corridor of the ego vehicle based on the map data of the map representation; determining a safety region of the ego vehicle based on a state of motion of the ego vehicle; checking whether the safety region is located completely within the safe driving corridor during travel of the ego vehicle along a travel trajectory; and outputting a control signal for executing a safety maneuver if the safety region is located at least partially outside the safe driving corridor.
