METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING EMERGENCY VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174168 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING EMERGENCY VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a method and an apparatus for recognizing an emergency vehicle. The apparatus includes a processor and a memory storing instructions for the processor. The processor controls sensors to recognize an approaching emergency vehicle and road conditions, determines an avoidance location for a car to move away from the emergency vehicle, provides an avoidance route for the car to follow, and controls projection devices to display symbols indicating the emergency vehicle's approach or the avoidance route.

  • Processor and memory for recognizing emergency vehicles
  • Sensors to detect approaching emergency vehicles and road conditions
  • Determination of avoidance location and route for vehicles to move away
  • Projection devices to display symbols indicating emergency vehicle approach or avoidance route

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in:

  • Advanced driver assistance systems
  • Traffic management systems
  • Emergency response vehicles

Problems Solved

  • Improving road safety by alerting drivers to emergency vehicles
  • Enhancing traffic flow by providing avoidance routes for vehicles

Benefits

  • Increased safety for drivers and emergency responders
  • Reduced risk of accidents and collisions
  • Improved efficiency in emergency vehicle response

Potential Commercial Applications

"Emergency Vehicle Recognition and Avoidance System in Automotive Technology"

Possible Prior Art

There are existing systems for detecting emergency vehicles on the road, but this technology appears to offer a more advanced and integrated approach to recognizing and avoiding them.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system differentiate between different types of emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars?

The abstract does not specify how the system distinguishes between various types of emergency vehicles, which could impact the effectiveness of the avoidance route provided.

What is the range of the sensors used to detect approaching emergency vehicles?

The abstract does not mention the range of the sensors, which is crucial information for understanding the system's capabilities in different traffic scenarios.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for recognizing an emergency vehicle. an apparatus for recognizing an emergency vehicle is provided, including a processor; and a memory configured to store at least one instruction executed by the processor. the processor is configured to control at least one or more sensors to recognize an approach of the emergency vehicle and a road condition, to determine an first avoidance location that is a location for an first car to move away from the emergency vehicle based on the road condition, to provide a first avoidance route that is a route for the first cat to move from a current location to the first avoidance location, and to control at least one projection device to project at least one of a first symbol indicating the approaching of the emergency vehicle or the first avoidance route.
