COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING SAFE CONTROL INPUTS U(K) FOR ACTUATOR COMPONENTS OF A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18596211 titled 'COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING SAFE CONTROL INPUTS U(K) FOR ACTUATOR COMPONENTS OF A VEHICLE
The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for providing safe control inputs for actuator components of a vehicle to follow a specified trajectory. The method involves determining the vehicle state at a first time, providing a set of control inputs, checking the safety of the inputs by predicting the vehicle state at a later time, and modifying the inputs if necessary to ensure safety.
- The method involves determining the vehicle state at a specific time.
- Providing a set of control inputs for the vehicle at that time.
- Checking the safety of the inputs by predicting the vehicle state at a later time.
- Modifying the inputs if the predicted state is not safe.
- Ensuring that the modified inputs result in a safe predicted vehicle state.

Original Abstract Submitted
A computer-implemented method for providing safe control inputs for actuator components of a vehicle for implementing a specified trajectory. A vehicle state is determined at a first time, and a first set of control inputs for the first time is provided. It is then checked whether the first set of control inputs is safe by checking whether the vehicle state predicted based on the vehicle state and the first set of control inputs for a later second time is safe. The predicted vehicle state is considered safe if it is within a predetermined maximum controlled invariant state set. If the vehicle state is not considered safe, a safe set of control inputs is determined, by modifying the first set of control inputs such that the vehicle state predicted based on the vehicle state and the modified set of control inputs is considered safe.
