ALERTING SYSTEM AND ALERTING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240212497 titled 'ALERTING SYSTEM AND ALERTING METHOD
The patent application describes an alerting system that notifies a driver when the vehicle speed margin falls below a certain threshold, using a predetermined level of conspicuousness through an HMI device.
- Notification unit triggers alerts to the driver when the vehicle speed margin is below a set threshold.
- Decision unit determines notification parameters, including timing and conspicuousness level.
- Behavior recording unit tracks the driver's reactive behavior to the notifications.
- Reaction information recording unit associates reaction ratios with different notification parameter sets.
- Decision unit calculates the optimal parameter set based on reaction information to maximize reaction ratios.
Potential Applications: - Automotive safety systems - Driver assistance technology - Fleet management solutions
Problems Solved: - Improving driver awareness of speed margins - Enhancing road safety by alerting drivers to potential risks
Benefits: - Reducing the likelihood of accidents - Enhancing driver attentiveness - Customizable notification parameters for different driving conditions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Driver Alerting System for Enhanced Safety" This technology can be used in automotive manufacturing, transportation companies, and fleet management services to improve driver safety and reduce accidents.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the optimal notification parameters for each driver? - The system calculates the optimal parameters based on the driver's reaction information to maximize the reaction ratio. 2. What types of notifications can be customized for different driving scenarios? - Notifications can be customized based on timing and conspicuousness levels to suit various road conditions and driver preferences.
Original Abstract Submitted
an alerting system includes: a notification unit, when a vehicle speed margin becomes less than a predetermined threshold, executing a notification at a predetermined conspicuousness level to a driver via an hmi device; a decision unit deciding on a notification parameter set including parameters defining a notification output timing and the conspicuousness level; a behavior recording unit recording presence/absence of a reactive behavior to the notification with the notification parameter set; and a reaction information recording unit recording reaction information in which a reaction ratio, which is a ratio of the number of the notifications to which the reactive behavior occurs to the number of the notifications executed, is associated with each of the different notification parameter sets, wherein the decision unit calculates and decides on, based on the reaction information, an optimal parameter set with which the reaction ratio is estimated to become the highest.
