Vehicle And Method Of Controlling The Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240157748 titled 'Vehicle And Method Of Controlling The Same

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a vehicle system that uses cameras to detect the position of an overtaking vehicle relative to the host vehicle, and then adjusts the damping force of the suspensions accordingly.

  • The vehicle system includes a camera with a surrounding field of view, suspensions at each wheel, and a controller connected to the suspensions.
  • The controller analyzes image data from the camera to determine the position of an overtaking vehicle and adjusts the damping force of the suspensions based on this information.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and vehicle safety systems.

Problems Solved

This technology helps improve vehicle stability and comfort by adjusting suspension damping in response to overtaking vehicles, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing the driving experience.

Benefits

- Enhanced safety and stability on the road - Improved comfort for passengers - Potential for integration with autonomous driving systems

Potential Commercial Applications

- Automotive industry for vehicle safety and comfort systems - Technology companies developing advanced driver assistance systems

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of cameras and sensors in vehicles to detect surrounding objects and adjust vehicle settings accordingly. Another could be the use of adaptive suspension systems in vehicles for improved ride quality and handling.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system differentiate between different types of overtaking vehicles, such as cars, trucks, or motorcycles?

The abstract does not provide details on how the system distinguishes between different types of overtaking vehicles, which could impact the effectiveness of the damping force adjustments.

What is the impact of environmental factors, such as weather conditions, on the accuracy of the camera-based detection system?

The abstract does not address how environmental factors may affect the performance of the camera system in detecting overtaking vehicles, which could be crucial for real-world applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure include a camera having a surrounding field of view of a host vehicle and configured to obtain image data, a plurality of suspensions provided at a corresponding wheel of the host vehicle, a controller electrically connected to the plurality of suspensions and comprising one or more processors and memory. the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the controller to: determine, based on the image data, a position, relative to the host vehicle, of an overtaking vehicle overtaking the host vehicle, and control, based on the position of the overtaking vehicle, a damping force of at least one of the plurality of suspensions.
