VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109534 titled 'VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle driving assistance apparatus that can forcibly stop the vehicle when there is a risk of collision with an object, and keep the vehicle stopped for a certain period of time after the initial stop.
- The apparatus executes a braking assistance control to stop the vehicle in case of a potential collision.
- It then executes a stopped-state keeping control to maintain the vehicle in a stopped position.
- The apparatus keeps the vehicle stopped for a standard time if it is not in a termination recommendation area, and for a shorter time if it is in the termination recommendation area.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, emergency braking systems, and driver assistance systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps prevent collisions and accidents by automatically stopping the vehicle when necessary.
Benefits
The technology enhances safety on the road by providing an additional layer of protection against collisions.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include integration into vehicles from various manufacturers, as well as licensing the technology to companies developing autonomous driving systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing emergency braking systems in vehicles that automatically apply brakes in case of an imminent collision.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus determine the probability of a collision with an object?
The abstract does not provide details on the specific sensors or algorithms used to assess the risk of collision.
What happens if the vehicle is stopped for longer than the standard time in a non-termination recommendation area?
The abstract does not mention the consequences or actions taken if the vehicle remains stopped beyond the standard time.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle driving assistance apparatus executes a braking assistance control to forcibly stop an own vehicle when there is a probability that the own vehicle collides with an object, and executes a stopped-state keeping control to keep the own vehicle stopped when the own vehicle is stopped by the braking assistance control. the apparatus executes the stopped-state keeping control for a standard time when the own vehicle is stopped at a place in an area other than a termination recommendation area in which an execution of the stopped-state keeping control is recommended to be terminated. the apparatus executes the stopped-state keeping control for a time shorter than the standard time when the own vehicle is stopped at a place in the termination recommendation area.
