CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240199037 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

The control device for a vehicle can switch between manual and automated driving, learning vehicle-to-vehicle information during manual driving and applying it during automated driving.

• Processor learns vehicle-to-vehicle information during manual driving.
• Learning results are reflected in control of vehicle-to-vehicle information during automated driving.
• Memory device stores vehicle-to-vehicle information as learning data during manual driving.
• Processor determines whether to store vehicle-to-vehicle information based on the type of preceding vehicle.

Potential Applications: - Autonomous driving systems - Vehicle safety technology - Traffic management systems

Problems Solved: - Enhances safety by utilizing learned vehicle-to-vehicle information - Improves efficiency of automated driving systems

Benefits: - Increased safety on the road - Enhanced performance of automated driving systems - Improved traffic flow and management

Commercial Applications: - Automotive industry for autonomous vehicles - Transportation companies for fleet management

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control device differentiate between types of preceding vehicles? 2. What are the specific parameters of vehicle-to-vehicle information that are learned and utilized by the control device?

Original Abstract Submitted

a control device for a vehicle controls a subject vehicle configured to switch between manual driving by a driver and automated driving. the control device includes a processor and a memory device. the processor is configured to execute learning control that learns vehicle-to-vehicle information being vehicle-to-vehicle time or vehicle-to-vehicle distance of the subject vehicle with respect to a preceding vehicle during traveling with the manual driving, and to reflect a learning result of the vehicle-to-vehicle information by the learning control in a control of the vehicle-to-vehicle information during the automated driving. the memory device is configured to store the vehicle-to-vehicle information as learning data during the manual driving. in the learning control, the processor determines, based on a type of the preceding vehicle, whether or not the vehicle-to-vehicle information for the preceding vehicle is caused to be stored in the memory device as the learning data.
