AUTONOMOUS DRIVING CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253670 titled 'AUTONOMOUS DRIVING CONTROL DEVICE
The abstract describes a patent application for a road shape grasping unit that is designed to grasp the road shape of a merging area in the traveling direction of a subject vehicle with autonomous travel control.
- The road shape grasping unit is configured to grasp the road shape of a merging area in the traveling direction of the subject vehicle.
- The continuation determination unit determines whether to continue the autonomous travel control in the merging area based on the road shape.
- The technology aims to enhance autonomous travel control in merging areas where the driver has no surroundings monitoring obligation.
- By analyzing the road shape of the merging area, the system can make informed decisions on whether to continue autonomous travel control.
- This innovation improves the safety and efficiency of autonomous vehicles in complex merging scenarios.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Intelligent transportation systems - Traffic management systems
Problems Solved: - Enhancing safety in merging areas - Improving efficiency of autonomous travel control - Reducing the need for driver intervention in complex driving scenarios
Benefits: - Increased safety on the roads - Enhanced efficiency of autonomous vehicles - Reduced driver workload in challenging driving situations
Commercial Applications: Title: Autonomous Vehicle Safety System for Merging Areas This technology can be utilized by companies developing autonomous vehicles to improve safety and efficiency in merging areas, potentially leading to increased consumer trust and adoption of autonomous driving technology.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the road shape grasping unit improve autonomous travel control in merging areas? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on the future of autonomous vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
a road shape grasping unit is configured to grasp a road shape of a merging area present in a traveling direction of a subject vehicle traveling with an autonomous travel control in which a driver has no surroundings monitoring obligation. a continuation determination unit is configured to determine, according to the road shape of the merging area, whether to continue the autonomous travel control in the merging area.
