AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING WITH AND CONTROLLING A VEHICLE VIA A VEHICLE CONTROL INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246532 titled 'AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING WITH AND CONTROLLING A VEHICLE VIA A VEHICLE CONTROL INTERFACE

The abstract of the patent application describes a vehicle with an autonomous driving system that can command the vehicle platform to decelerate and stop the vehicle, and then maintain it stationary until a signal indicates standstill.

  • The vehicle has an autonomous driving system that can command the vehicle platform to decelerate and stop the vehicle.
  • If the vehicle's speed is 0 km/h or less, the autonomous driving system will command the vehicle platform to maintain stationary.
  • After brake hold control is finished, a signal will indicate standstill, and the vehicle will remain stationary until then.
  • The autonomous driving system continues to request deceleration until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles to ensure safe and controlled stopping. - It can be applied in self-driving taxis, delivery vehicles, and other autonomous transportation systems.

Problems Solved: - Ensures safe and controlled stopping of autonomous vehicles. - Prevents the vehicle from moving after coming to a stop, enhancing safety.

Benefits: - Improved safety in autonomous vehicles. - Enhanced control over vehicle deceleration and stopping.

Commercial Applications: Title: Autonomous Vehicle Safety System for Controlled Stopping This technology can be utilized by companies developing autonomous vehicles for various commercial applications such as ride-sharing services, delivery fleets, and public transportation systems. It can enhance the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles, increasing consumer trust and adoption.

Questions about Autonomous Vehicle Safety System for Controlled Stopping: 1. How does the autonomous driving system ensure safe and controlled stopping of the vehicle? - The autonomous driving system commands the vehicle platform to decelerate and stop the vehicle, and then maintain it stationary until a signal indicates standstill, ensuring a controlled and safe stopping process.

2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond autonomous vehicles? - This technology can also be applied in other automated systems that require precise control over deceleration and stopping, such as industrial automation and robotics.


Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle comprises an autonomous driving system and a vehicle platform that controls the vehicle in response to a command received from the autonomous driving system. in the present vehicle, when the autonomous driving system issues a first command to request the vehicle platform to provide deceleration to stop the vehicle and a first signal indicates 0 km/h or a prescribed velocity or less, the autonomous driving system issues a second command to request the vehicle platform to maintain stationary. and after brake hold control is finished, a second signal indicates standstill. until the second signal indicates standstill, the first command continues to request the vehicle platform to provide deceleration.
