AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM FOR CREATING A PLANNED ROUTE BASED ON MESSAGES DISPLAYED BY ROAD SIGNS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240336281 titled 'AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM FOR CREATING A PLANNED ROUTE BASED ON MESSAGES DISPLAYED BY ROAD SIGNS

Simplified Explanation:

The abstract describes an autonomous driving system that uses cameras to monitor road signs and interpret their messages. When a future traffic condition is detected, the system identifies updated lane attributes and plans a route accordingly.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Autonomous driving system with image data monitoring
  • Interpretation of road sign messages
  • Classification of road sign messages into sign application classes
  • Identification of updated lane attributes impacted by road sign messages
  • Route planning based on updated lane attributes

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, transportation systems, and smart city infrastructure.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for efficient route planning based on real-time road sign information in autonomous driving systems.

Benefits:

  • Improved safety on the road
  • Enhanced efficiency in route planning
  • Better adaptation to changing traffic conditions

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include autonomous vehicle technology, transportation logistics, and smart city development.

Prior Art: Readers interested in prior art related to this technology can explore research on autonomous driving systems, computer vision, and traffic management technologies.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about the latest advancements in autonomous driving systems, computer vision algorithms, and smart transportation technologies.

Questions about Autonomous Driving Systems: 1. How do autonomous driving systems interpret road sign messages? 2. What are the key benefits of using cameras to monitor road signs in autonomous vehicles?


Original Abstract Submitted

an autonomous driving system for a vehicle includes one or more controllers that execute instructions to monitor image data captured by one or more cameras. in response to detecting a road sign in the image data, the controllers interpret a message displayed by the road sign. the controllers classify the message conveyed by the road sign into a sign application class based on a time frame when the message conveyed by the road sign is applicable. in response to determining the message conveyed by the road sign is classified as a future traffic condition encountered by the vehicle, the controllers identify lane segments having one or more updated lane attributes that are impacted by the message of the road sign and determine a planned route based on the one or more updated lane attributes of the lane segments impacted by the message displayed by the road sign.
