ROUTE SETTING DEVICE AND ROUTE SETTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18550390 titled 'ROUTE SETTING DEVICE AND ROUTE SETTING SYSTEM
The patent application describes a route setting server designed to reduce avoidance actions by autonomously traveling objects by utilizing map information and traffic frequency distribution data.
- Map information storage device stores map information with passerby quantity information linked to traveling paths.
- Traffic frequency distribution identification device identifies passerby traffic frequency distribution in a specific area.
- Map information updating device updates passerby quantity information based on identified traffic frequency distribution.
- Route determination device decides the optimal route for the traveling object based on the updated map information.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicle navigation systems - Traffic management systems - Smart city infrastructure development
Problems Solved: - Minimizing avoidance actions by autonomously traveling objects - Enhancing route efficiency and safety - Improving traffic flow in congested areas
Benefits: - Reduced travel time for autonomous vehicles - Enhanced traffic management capabilities - Increased overall road safety
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Route Optimization System for Autonomous Vehicles" This technology can be utilized by companies developing autonomous vehicles, smart city planners, and traffic management authorities to optimize routes and improve traffic flow in urban areas.
Prior Art: Prior research in the field of autonomous vehicle navigation systems and traffic management solutions may provide insights into similar technologies or approaches.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, traffic management systems, and smart city infrastructure development to enhance the effectiveness of the route setting server.
Questions about Route Setting Server: 1. How does the route setting server improve the efficiency of autonomous vehicles? 2. What are the key components of the map information storage device in the route setting server?
Original Abstract Submitted
In order to reduce the number of avoidance actions, a route setting server includes map information storage device for storing map information in which the passerby quantity information indicating a passerby quantity is associated with a traveling path on which an autonomously traveling object travels autonomously, traffic frequency distribution identification device for identifying a passerby traffic frequency distribution in a predetermined area in which the traveling object travels autonomously, map information updating device for updating the passerby quantity information of the map information, based on the passerby traffic frequency distribution identified by the traffic frequency distribution identification device, and route determination device for determining a target route for the traveling object to travel based on the map information.
