ROAD HAZARD COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240038070 titled 'ROAD HAZARD COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for reporting road hazards. It involves collecting data about an object on the road that is causing a hazard, using a device associated with the object. This data can be automatically generated. The road hazard data is then provided to various clients or applications, such as map services or navigation clients. An alert is generated based on the road hazard data to warn users of the hazard, and it can include visual and/or audio representations of the data. The alert can be used to automatically or manually avoid the hazard.
- Data about road hazards caused by objects on the road can be collected and reported.
- The collected data can be merged with a map and provided to map services or navigation clients.
- Alerts can be generated based on the road hazard data to warn users of the hazard.
- The alerts can include visual and/or audio representations of the hazard data.
- The alerts can be used to automatically or manually avoid the hazard.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Enhancing road safety by providing real-time information about road hazards to drivers.
- Improving navigation systems by integrating road hazard data into route planning.
- Assisting emergency services in identifying and responding to road hazards quickly.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Lack of real-time information about road hazards.
- Difficulty in avoiding road hazards due to limited visibility or awareness.
- Inefficient communication and reporting of road hazards.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased road safety for drivers and pedestrians.
- Improved efficiency in avoiding road hazards and planning routes.
- Enhanced communication and reporting of road hazards for better response and management.
Original Abstract Submitted
apparatus, systems, and/or methods may involve reporting a road hazard. road hazard data may be collected for an object on a road, which may include automatically generated data from a device associated with the object causing a hazard. the road hazard data may be provided to a service, an application, a device, a client, and so on. for example, the road hazard data may be merged with a map and provided to a map services client, a navigation client, and so on. an alert may be generated based on the road hazard data to warn of the hazard caused by the object. the alert may include a visual and/or audio representation of the hazard data. the alert may be used to automatically and/or manually avoid the hazard.
