VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240199025 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The vehicle control device can recognize the traveling lane and control the host vehicle to travel along it using in-vehicle sensors. It can also control the host vehicle to follow the trajectory of the preceding vehicle when the lane is not visible. The device avoids executing this control if there is a possibility of another vehicle running parallel to the host vehicle.

  • Recognizes traveling lane and controls host vehicle to travel along it
  • Follows trajectory of preceding vehicle when lane is not visible
  • Avoids executing control if another vehicle may be running parallel

Key Features and Innovation

- Recognition of traveling lane for host vehicle - Trajectory following of preceding vehicle - Avoidance of control execution in the presence of parallel vehicles

Potential Applications

- Autonomous driving systems - Advanced driver assistance systems - Traffic management systems

Problems Solved

- Ensures safe and efficient lane following - Improves driving experience in complex traffic situations - Enhances overall vehicle control and safety

Benefits

- Increased safety on the road - Enhanced driving convenience - Optimal vehicle control in various traffic conditions

Commercial Applications

Title: Lane Recognition and Trajectory Following Vehicle Control System This technology can be utilized in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and traffic management solutions. It has the potential to revolutionize the automotive industry by enhancing safety and efficiency on the roads.

Prior Art

There may be prior art related to lane recognition systems, vehicle trajectory following, and parallel vehicle detection in the field of autonomous driving and vehicle control technologies.

Frequently Updated Research

Research on improving lane recognition accuracy, trajectory prediction algorithms, and parallel vehicle detection systems is frequently updated in the field of autonomous driving technology.

Questions about Lane Recognition and Trajectory Following Vehicle Control System

1. How does the vehicle control device recognize the traveling lane?

The vehicle control device utilizes in-vehicle sensors to gather information about the surroundings and identify the markings of the traveling lane.

2. What are the benefits of following the trajectory of the preceding vehicle?

Following the trajectory of the preceding vehicle helps maintain a safe distance and smooth flow of traffic, enhancing overall driving safety and efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

the vehicle control device is capable of executing a first trace process of recognizing a traveling lane on which the host vehicle is traveling and controlling the host vehicle so that the host vehicle travels along the traveling lane on the basis of the information acquired from the in-vehicle sensor, and controlling the host vehicle so that the host vehicle travels along the trajectory of the preceding vehicle when there is a preceding vehicle traveling in front of the host vehicle in a situation where the traveling lane cannot be recognized while executing the first trace process. the vehicle control device does not execute the second trace control when there is a possibility that there is another vehicle running in parallel with the host vehicle.
