VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18586599 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
The abstract of the patent application describes a vehicle controller that is capable of recognizing the surrounding situation of a vehicle and taking various actions in response to different conditions being satisfied, including giving alarms to the occupant, controlling braking or steering, and detecting abnormalities of the occupant.
- The vehicle controller executes three main controls: giving alarms to the occupant, controlling braking or steering, and decelerating or stopping the vehicle in response to abnormality of the occupant.
- The controller prioritizes the controls based on the conditions being satisfied, executing the third control with priority over the first control when both conditions are met, and the second control with priority over the third control when both conditions are met.
- The arrangement of execution of the controls ensures the safety of the vehicle and the occupant in various situations.
Potential Applications: - Automotive safety systems - Driver assistance systems - Autonomous vehicles
Problems Solved: - Enhancing occupant safety in vehicles - Providing timely warnings and controls in response to different conditions - Detecting abnormalities of the occupant for proactive safety measures
Benefits: - Improved safety for vehicle occupants - Enhanced control and response mechanisms in vehicles - Potential reduction in accidents and injuries
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Vehicle Safety System This technology could be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the safety features of their vehicles, making them more attractive to safety-conscious consumers. It could also be integrated into autonomous vehicles to ensure the safety of passengers in various driving scenarios.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the vehicle controller prioritize the execution of different controls? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the automotive industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle controller is configured to: recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle; execute first control of giving a first alarm to an occupant of the vehicle in response to a first condition being satisfied; execute second control of controlling braking or steering of the vehicle and giving a second alarm to the occupant in response to a second condition being satisfied; detect an abnormality of the occupant; execute third control of decelerating or stopping the vehicle and giving a third alarm in response to the abnormality of the occupant; and arrange execution of the first, second and third control. The vehicle controller executes the third control with priority over the first control when conditions of the first control and the third control are satisfied; and executes the second control with priority over the third control when conditions of the second control and the third control are satisfied.
