CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240208502 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

The control device described in the patent application includes a memory device that stores a first function and a processor. The first function is predetermined based on a driving dataset for multiple drivers. The processor is responsible for various calculations and executions based on this first function.

  • The processor calculates a vehicle-to-vehicle preference value for a driver using vehicle-to-vehicle information and the subject vehicle's speed during manual driving.
  • Based on the calculated preference value, the processor then determines one or more remaining driving preference values for aspects such as acceleration, deceleration, deceleration timing, and acceleration timing.
  • Using these driving preference values, the processor executes a target value calculation process to determine control target values for acceleration, deceleration, deceleration timing, and acceleration timing during automated driving with the driver on board.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be applied in the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to enhance vehicle control and safety. - It could also be utilized in autonomous driving systems to optimize driving preferences and improve overall driving experience.

Problems Solved: - Addresses the need for personalized driving preferences based on individual drivers' behaviors and preferences. - Enhances the efficiency and safety of automated driving by calculating precise control target values.

Benefits: - Improved driving experience for drivers with personalized driving preferences. - Enhanced safety and efficiency in automated driving systems.

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Optimization Technology This technology could be commercialized by automotive manufacturers to integrate advanced control systems in vehicles, offering enhanced safety and driving experience to customers.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the overall driving experience for users? - This technology enhances the driving experience by customizing driving preferences based on individual drivers' behaviors and preferences, leading to a more personalized and efficient driving experience.

2. What are the potential safety implications of using this technology in automated driving systems? - By calculating precise control target values for acceleration, deceleration, and timing, this technology can significantly improve the safety of automated driving systems by ensuring optimal vehicle control in various driving scenarios.


Original Abstract Submitted

a control device includes a memory device configured to store a first function, and a processor. the first function is specified in advance based on a driving dataset for a plurality of drivers. the processor is configured to: calculate, in accordance with the first function, a vehicle-to-vehicle preference value of a driver according to vehicle-to-vehicle information and subject vehicle speed acquired during follow-up driving in manual driving; calculate, based on the calculated vehicle-to-vehicle preference value, one or more remaining driving preference values for at least one of acceleration, deceleration, deceleration timing, and acceleration timing; and execute, based on the calculated one or more remaining driving preference values, a target value calculation process of calculating one or more control target values for the at least one of the acceleration, the deceleration, the deceleration timing, and the acceleration timing in automated driving with the driver on board.
