DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161623 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The driving support device described in the abstract is a system that helps drivers navigate intersections safely by acquiring target information, determining the possibility of collision with a target, providing driving assistance based on this determination, and diagnosing the driving tendency of the driver.

  • The control unit acquires target information from roadside devices.
  • It determines the possibility of collision between the target and the vehicle at the intersection based on target information and own vehicle information.
  • It provides driving assistance to the driver based on the result of the determination.
  • It acquires vehicle operation information indicating the driver's driving operation with respect to the driving assistance.
  • It diagnoses the driving tendency of the driver based on the vehicle operation information.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and smart city infrastructure.

Problems Solved

This technology helps prevent collisions at intersections, improves driver safety, and enhances overall driving experience.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased road safety, reduced accidents, improved traffic flow, and enhanced driver convenience.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include automotive industry, transportation sector, and smart city development.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing collision avoidance systems in vehicles that use sensors to detect obstacles and provide warnings to the driver.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle complex intersections with multiple targets?

The system's ability to handle complex intersections with multiple targets is not explicitly mentioned in the abstract. Further details on the system's capabilities in such scenarios would be beneficial.

What is the accuracy of the driving tendency diagnosis based on the vehicle operation information?

The abstract mentions that the system diagnoses the driving tendency of the driver based on vehicle operation information, but it does not specify the accuracy or reliability of this diagnosis. More information on the effectiveness of this aspect of the system would be valuable.


Original Abstract Submitted

the driving support device includes a control unit that acquires target information indicating a target on a road intersecting the intersection from the roadside device, determines a possibility of collision between the target and the vehicle at the intersection based on the target information and the own vehicle information indicating the state of the vehicle, determines to perform driving assistance to the driver of the vehicle based on the result of the determination, acquires vehicle operation information indicating a driving operation by the driver with respect to the driving assistance, and diagnoses a driving tendency of the driver based on the vehicle operation information.
