SURROUND VIEW VEHICLE EGRESS ASSISTANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240242507 titled 'SURROUND VIEW VEHICLE EGRESS ASSISTANCE
The patent application describes a system and method for surround view egress assistance in vehicles, which involves detecting obstacles in the swing path of a vehicle door and predicting potential collision zones based on geometrical analysis and the bank angle of the vehicle.
- The system estimates the severity of impact with obstacles using data from an inertial measurement unit.
- It also detects the color and height of curbs to prevent collisions with vehicle doors.
- The innovation aims to enhance safety and prevent damage to vehicles during egress.
- By utilizing sensor technology and geometric analysis, the system provides real-time assistance to drivers.
- The method combines multiple data sources to create a comprehensive egress assistance system.
- Potential Applications:
The technology can be applied in various vehicles, including cars, trucks, and vans, to improve safety during egress and prevent collisions with obstacles.
- Problems Solved:
The system addresses the issue of potential collisions between vehicle doors and obstacles, enhancing driver awareness and preventing damage to vehicles.
- Benefits:
- Improved safety during egress - Prevention of collisions with obstacles - Enhanced driver assistance technology
- Commercial Applications:
Title: "Enhancing Vehicle Safety with Surround View Egress Assistance Technology" This technology can be integrated into new vehicle models to attract safety-conscious consumers and differentiate products in the competitive automotive market.
- Questions about Surround View Egress Assistance:
1. How does the system determine the severity of impact with obstacles?
- The system estimates impact severity using data from an inertial measurement unit to assess the force of collision.
2. What types of vehicles can benefit from this surround view egress assistance technology?
- This technology can be applied to various vehicles, including cars, trucks, and vans, to enhance safety during egress.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method for surround view egress assistance that includes detecting, by a sensor in a vehicle, an obstacle in a swing path of a vehicle door. the method includes predicting, based on a geometrical analysis, one or more potential collision zones between the obstacle and the vehicle door. the predicting also includes determining a bank angle of the vehicle in the predicting of one or more potential collision zones. the method further includes estimating, based on data from an inertial measurement unit, a severity of an impact of the vehicle door with the obstacle. the method also includes detecting a color and height of a curb and potential collisions with a vehicle door.
