Apparatus and Method for Controlling Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240190419 titled 'Apparatus and Method for Controlling Vehicle
The embodiment vehicle control apparatus described in the patent application includes a sensor that detects the location of an obstacle and a rear vehicle in the driving lane, along with a controller that establishes an avoidance area within the driving lane based on a virtual line connecting the rear vehicle to the obstacle. The controller then generates an avoidance route for the vehicle to avoid the obstacle if changing lanes is not possible while a driving assistance function is active.
- Sensor obtains obstacle and rear vehicle locations
- Controller sets avoidance area based on virtual line between rear vehicle and obstacle
- Generates avoidance route for vehicle if changing lanes is not an option
- Activates when driving assistance function is in use
- Potential Applications:**
- Autonomous driving systems - Collision avoidance technology in vehicles - Advanced driver assistance systems
- Problems Solved:**
- Enhances safety by avoiding obstacles in the driving lane - Provides a solution for situations where changing lanes is not feasible
- Benefits:**
- Reduces the risk of collisions - Improves overall driving safety - Enhances the effectiveness of driving assistance systems
- Commercial Applications:**
Title: Advanced Collision Avoidance System for Vehicles This technology can be utilized in autonomous vehicles, commercial fleets, and personal vehicles to enhance safety and prevent accidents on the road. It can be integrated into existing driver assistance systems to provide an additional layer of protection.
- Questions about the Technology:**
1. How does the controller determine the avoidance area within the driving lane? The controller establishes the avoidance area based on a virtual line connecting the rear vehicle to the obstacle detected by the sensor.
2. What happens if the driving assistance function is not activated? If the driving assistance function is not active, the avoidance route may not be generated, and the vehicle may not be able to avoid the obstacle automatically.
Original Abstract Submitted
an embodiment vehicle control apparatus includes a sensor configured to obtain a location of an obstacle in a driving lane of a vehicle and a location of a rear vehicle driving in the driving lane and a controller configured to set an avoidance area within the driving lane based on a virtual line connecting the rear vehicle to the obstacle and to generate an avoidance route for the vehicle for avoiding the obstacle based on the avoidance area in response to a determination that it is not possible for the vehicle to change lanes to avoid the obstacle in the driving lane while a driving assistance function is activated.
