COLLISION AVOIDANCE SUPPORT DEVICE AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240182023 titled 'COLLISION AVOIDANCE SUPPORT DEVICE AND METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a collision avoidance support device that determines whether automatic braking should be executed to decelerate the own vehicle in a potential collision situation. When the own vehicle road is a non-priority road, the device relaxes the predetermined determination condition to make it easier to decide to execute automatic braking.
- The device determines if automatic braking is needed based on a predetermined condition in potential collision situations.
- When the own vehicle road is a non-priority road, the device makes it easier to decide to execute automatic braking by relaxing the predetermined condition.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in:
- Advanced driver assistance systems
- Autonomous vehicles
- Collision avoidance systems
Problems Solved
The technology helps in:
- Preventing collisions between vehicles
- Enhancing road safety
- Improving decision-making in potential collision scenarios
Benefits
The technology offers benefits such as:
- Increased safety on the roads
- Reduced risk of accidents
- Enhanced driver assistance features
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized in:
- Automotive industry for vehicle safety systems
- Insurance companies for risk assessment
- Transportation companies for fleet management
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing collision avoidance systems that use sensors and algorithms to detect potential collisions and trigger braking mechanisms.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device differentiate between different types of potential collisions?
The device uses various sensors and algorithms to analyze the situation and determine the severity of the potential collision before deciding to execute automatic braking.
What impact does the relaxation of the predetermined determination condition have on overall road safety?
The relaxation of the predetermined determination condition on non-priority roads aims to enhance safety by allowing quicker decisions to execute automatic braking in potential collision scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
a collision avoidance support device configured to determine whether or not automatic braking for decelerating an own vehicle should be executed based on a predetermined determination condition in a situation where it is determined that there is a possibility of a collision between another vehicle traveling on a road intersecting an own vehicle road and the own vehicle, to decelerate the own vehicle by the automatic braking when it is determined that the automatic braking should be executed, and further to, when it is determined that the own vehicle road is a non-priority road, make it easier to be determined that the automatic braking should be executed by relaxing the predetermined determination condition as compared to when it is determined that the own vehicle road is not a non-priority road.
