ROAD SOUND DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240227815 titled 'ROAD SOUND DETECTION
The abstract of the patent application describes a vehicle system that includes a controller programmed to receive sensor data from vehicle sensors as the vehicle drives along a road. The controller determines if the vehicle is approaching a road anomaly based on the sensor data and starts recording audio if an anomaly is detected, continuing to record until after the vehicle interacts with the anomaly.
- The vehicle system includes a controller that processes sensor data from vehicle sensors.
- The controller analyzes the data to determine if the vehicle is approaching a road anomaly.
- If an anomaly is detected, the system starts recording audio and continues to do so until after the vehicle interacts with the anomaly.
- This innovation aims to enhance safety and provide valuable data in the event of road anomalies.
- The system can help in accident investigation and improve overall road safety.
Potential Applications: - Accident investigation - Road anomaly detection - Driver assistance systems
Problems Solved: - Enhancing road safety - Providing valuable data for accident analysis
Benefits: - Improved safety on the roads - Enhanced accident investigation capabilities
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Vehicle Safety System This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for the development of advanced driver assistance systems, improving overall road safety and accident investigation processes.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between different types of road anomalies? The system uses advanced algorithms to analyze sensor data and determine the nature of the anomaly.
2. Can the recorded audio be used as evidence in legal proceedings? Yes, the recorded audio can serve as valuable evidence in accident investigations and legal proceedings.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle system of a vehicle may include a controller programmed to receive sensor data from one or more vehicle sensors as the vehicle drives along a road, determine whether the vehicle is approaching a road anomaly based on the sensor data, and upon determination that the vehicle is approaching the road anomaly, begin recording audio and continue recording audio until after the vehicle interacts with the road anomaly.
