VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18597708 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a vehicle control device or method that recognizes the lighting state of a main light of a traffic light and the travel permission direction of an arrow light, executing stop deceleration control and primary deceleration control to control the speed of a vehicle.
- The technology involves recognizing the lighting state of a traffic light and the travel permission direction of an arrow light.
- It executes stop deceleration control to decelerate the vehicle for a stop at a stop line.
- Primary deceleration control is then executed to decelerate the vehicle at a slower rate than the stop deceleration control.
Potential Applications: 1. Autonomous vehicles with advanced control systems. 2. Traffic management systems for smart cities. 3. Safety systems for vehicles to prevent accidents at intersections.
Problems Solved: 1. Ensures safe and efficient vehicle deceleration at traffic lights. 2. Improves traffic flow and reduces the risk of collisions. 3. Enhances the overall driving experience for motorists.
Benefits: 1. Increased safety for drivers and pedestrians. 2. Improved traffic efficiency and reduced congestion. 3. Enhanced control over vehicle speed and deceleration.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, smart traffic management systems, and safety features for vehicles. It has the potential to revolutionize the way vehicles interact with traffic lights and improve overall road safety.
Questions about Vehicle Control Technology: 1. How does the technology differentiate between stop deceleration control and primary deceleration control? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on traffic management systems in urban areas?
Original Abstract Submitted
By a vehicle control device or a vehicle control method for controlling a speed of a vehicle, a lighting state of a main light of a traffic light and a travel permission direction of an arrow light of the traffic light is recognized, and stop deceleration control that starts deceleration control executed for stop at a stop line and primary deceleration control that decelerates the vehicle at a deceleration rate slower than a deceleration rate by the stop deceleration control are executed.
