VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174263 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control system that includes an autonomous driving control system and a safety control system. The autonomous driving control system controls autonomous driving of the vehicle, while the safety control system communicates with the autonomous driving control system and stops the vehicle in case of failure or abnormal communication. The safety control system notifies the autonomous driving control system of any failures and the autonomous driving control system adjusts the traveling route accordingly.

  • Autonomous driving control system: Controls autonomous driving of the vehicle.
  • Safety control system: Communicates with the autonomous driving control system and stops the vehicle in case of failure or abnormal communication.
  • Failure notification: The safety control system notifies the autonomous driving control system of any failures.
  • Route adjustment: The autonomous driving control system adjusts the traveling route based on the failure notification.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, self-driving cars, and other automated transportation systems.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures safety in autonomous driving by stopping the vehicle in case of failure. 2. Improves communication between different control systems in the vehicle.

Benefits

1. Increases safety for passengers and pedestrians. 2. Reduces the risk of accidents caused by system failures. 3. Enhances the efficiency of autonomous driving systems.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized Vehicle Control System for Enhanced Safety and Efficiency

Possible Prior Art

There are existing vehicle control systems that focus on autonomous driving and safety measures, but the specific combination of autonomous driving control system and safety control system as described in this disclosure may be a novel innovation.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system differentiate between different types of failures?

The abstract does not specify how the safety control system categorizes or prioritizes different types of failures.

What measures are in place to prevent false alarms or unnecessary stops?

The abstract does not mention any mechanisms to prevent false alarms or unnecessary stops that could disrupt the autonomous driving process.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure relates to a vehicle control system. the vehicle control system includes an autonomous driving control system that controls autonomous driving of the vehicle, and a safety control system that communicates with the autonomous driving control system and stops the vehicle when the autonomous driving control system fails or when communication is abnormal. the safety control system notifies the autonomous driving control system of the contents of the failure when a failure of a part of the function of the safety control system occurs. the autonomous driving control system sets a traveling route to a destination during the autonomous driving in accordance with the contents of the failure.
