CONTROL METHOD DURING SWITCHING TO MANUAL DRIVING MODE OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH HAPTIC PEDAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174267 titled 'CONTROL METHOD DURING SWITCHING TO MANUAL DRIVING MODE OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH HAPTIC PEDAL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a control method for switching an autonomous vehicle with a haptic pedal from autonomous driving mode to manual driving mode. The method involves generating a mode change signal to switch to manual driving mode and then performing the switch after the brake pedal is pressed to enhance safety and prevent accidents.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:

- A control method for switching an autonomous vehicle from autonomous driving mode to manual driving mode. - Involves generating a mode change signal to initiate the switch. - The switch to manual driving mode is executed after the brake pedal is pressed. - Enhances safety by preventing accidents during the transition.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles to improve safety during the transition from autonomous to manual driving mode.

Problems Solved

- Accidents during the switch from autonomous to manual driving mode. - Ensuring a smooth transition for the driver.

Benefits

- Enhanced safety for both the driver and other road users. - Prevents accidents by ensuring a controlled transition.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Safety in Autonomous Vehicles through Manual Driving Mode Transition Control"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to control methods for transitioning between driving modes in autonomous vehicles, but specific examples are not provided in this context.

Unanswered Questions

How does the haptic pedal contribute to the safety of the transition process?

The haptic pedal likely provides tactile feedback to the driver, indicating the readiness to switch to manual driving mode. This feedback can help the driver make a smooth transition and avoid sudden movements that could lead to accidents.

What measures are in place to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the mode change signal?

The patent application does not detail the specific mechanisms or technologies used to generate and transmit the mode change signal. It would be important to understand how the system verifies the readiness of the vehicle and driver before initiating the switch to manual driving mode.


Original Abstract Submitted

in a control method during switching to a manual driving mode of an autonomous vehicle provided with a haptic pedal, when the autonomous vehicle provided with the haptic pedal is switched from an autonomous driving mode to the manual driving mode, a mode change signal is generated to switch to the manual driving mode, and switching to the manual driving mode is performed after the brake pedal is pressed. it is possible to prevent accidents as much as possible through strengthening of safety.
