TRAVELING PROPRIETY DETERMINATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18604570 titled 'TRAVELING PROPRIETY DETERMINATION DEVICE
The patent application describes a system that determines the performance state of a fuel cell vehicle and notifies the driver accordingly.
- State determination unit assesses if the vehicle is in normal, limited, or low performance state.
- Traveling propriety determination unit decides if the vehicle can continue traveling based on its performance state.
- Notification control unit sends alerts if the vehicle is in a limited performance state but can still travel.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for fuel cell vehicles. - Fleet management systems for monitoring vehicle performance. - Energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives in transportation.
Problems Solved: - Ensures safety by notifying drivers of limited vehicle performance. - Optimizes vehicle maintenance and performance. - Enhances overall efficiency of fuel cell vehicles.
Benefits: - Improved safety for drivers and passengers. - Increased vehicle performance and longevity. - Enhanced monitoring and control of fuel cell vehicle operations.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Performance State Notification System for Fuel Cell Vehicles" This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, fleet management companies, and energy companies to enhance the performance and safety of fuel cell vehicles. It can also be integrated into smart transportation systems for better monitoring and control.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between normal, limited, and low performance states? - The system uses various sensors and algorithms to analyze the vehicle's performance metrics and determine its state accurately.
2. What are the potential implications of using this system in fleet management operations? - Implementing this system in fleet management can lead to improved maintenance scheduling, reduced downtime, and enhanced overall efficiency of the fleet.
Original Abstract Submitted
A state determination unit determines whether a state of traveling performance of a fuel cell vehicle is a normal performance state, a limited performance state, or a low performance state. When the state determination unit determines that the fuel cell vehicle is in the normal performance state or the limited performance state, a traveling propriety determination unit determines that the fuel cell vehicle can travel. A notification control unit performs a limited state notification when the state determination unit determines that the fuel cell vehicle is in the limited performance state and the traveling propriety determination unit determines that the fuel cell vehicle can travel.
