COOPERATIVE SENSOR SHARING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240244409 titled 'COOPERATIVE SENSOR SHARING
The abstract of the patent application describes a system where a host vehicle receives a message from a remote vehicle indicating the detection of an object along a roadway. The host vehicle then uses its sensors to identify the presence of another object along the roadway. A probability function is used to determine whether to send a second message indicating the second object, with the message being sent or suppressed based on the result.
- Host vehicle receives message from remote vehicle about first object detected
- Host vehicle uses sensors to identify presence of second object
- Probability function determines whether to send second message about second object
- Second message is sent or suppressed based on the result of the probability function
Potential Applications: - Advanced driver assistance systems - Autonomous vehicles - Traffic management systems
Problems Solved: - Enhancing road safety by providing real-time information about objects on the roadway - Improving communication between vehicles for better decision-making
Benefits: - Increased awareness of road conditions - Enhanced vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Improved overall road safety
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Vehicle Communication System for Road Safety" This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, transportation companies, and smart city initiatives to improve road safety and traffic management.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine whether to send the second message about the second object? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on reducing accidents and traffic congestion?
Original Abstract Submitted
a first connected message is received, by a controller of a host vehicle, from a remote vehicle via a transceiver of the host vehicle. the first connected message indicates a first object along a roadway detected by the remote vehicle. presence of a second object along the roadway is identified using sensors of the host vehicle. a probability function is utilized to determine a result indicative of whether to send a second connected message indicating the second object. the second connected message is sent responsive to the result indicating to send the second connected message. the second connected message is suppressed responsive to the result indicating not to send the second connected message.
