METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOTE CONTROL OF A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210957 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOTE CONTROL OF A VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a method and apparatus for remote control of a vehicle. The system allows the vehicle to move to a target position independently, without the need for a driver inside the vehicle. The vehicle can also move in the opposite direction of travel depending on the detected environment.
- The apparatus includes a transceiver device in the vehicle for signal exchange with an input and/or remote control device.
- Sensors are mounted on the vehicle to detect the environment.
- Activation of an operating mode by the input device causes the vehicle to move to a target position in a specific direction.
- The vehicle can move in the opposite direction based on the detected environment to reach the target position.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Remote control of a vehicle without the need for a driver inside.
- Ability to move to a target position independently.
- Detection of the environment to adjust the vehicle's movement.
- Two-way communication between the vehicle and the input device.
Potential Applications:
This technology could be used in autonomous vehicles, remote-controlled drones, and other unmanned vehicles for various industries such as transportation, logistics, and surveillance.
Problems Solved:
This technology eliminates the need for a driver to be physically present in the vehicle, allowing for remote control and autonomous operation in different environments.
Benefits:
- Increased safety by removing the need for a driver in hazardous situations.
- Enhanced efficiency in operations by enabling remote control capabilities.
- Flexibility in maneuvering the vehicle based on the detected environment.
Commercial Applications:
The technology could be applied in autonomous delivery services, surveillance drones, and industrial automation systems, offering a range of commercial opportunities in the transportation and logistics sectors.
Prior Art:
Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on autonomous vehicles, remote control systems, and sensor-based navigation methods in vehicles.
Frequently Updated Research:
Researchers are continually exploring advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, remote control systems, and sensor integration for improved vehicle navigation and safety.
Questions about Remote Control of Vehicles:
1. How does this technology improve safety in vehicle operations without a driver present? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing remote control systems in different types of vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method and apparatus for remote control of a vehicle. an input and/or remote control device is provided. the apparatus includes: a transceiver device in the vehicle, configured to exchange signals with the input and/or remote control device; sensors mounted in or on the vehicle for detecting the environment of the vehicle; a signal from the input and/or remote control device to the transceiver device activates an operating mode in the vehicle in which the vehicle moves to a target position independently, i.e., without the assistance of a driver located in the vehicle. the target position is in a first direction of travel of the vehicle. the vehicle, in the operating mode, also moves in the second direction of travel opposite the first direction of travel depending on the detected environment. the vehicle can also move away from the target position in order to reach the target position.
