DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240208503 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE
The driving support device described in the abstract includes a deceleration control unit, a branch path detection unit, an operation state acquisition unit, and a steering state acquisition unit. The deceleration control unit determines the driver's intention to change the path in a branch path based on the operation state of the direction indicator and the steering state of the steering wheel. When a branch path is detected in front of the host vehicle during deceleration control with respect to the preceding vehicle, and the driver intends to change the path, the deceleration control of the host vehicle is ended.
- Deceleration control unit determines driver's intention to change path in a branch path.
- Operation state acquisition unit monitors the operation state of the direction indicator.
- Steering state acquisition unit tracks the steering state of the steering wheel.
- Deceleration control of the host vehicle is ended if the driver intends to change the branch path.
- System helps in safe navigation during deceleration with respect to the preceding vehicle.
Potential Applications: - Advanced driver assistance systems - Autonomous vehicles - Traffic management systems
Problems Solved: - Enhances safety during lane changes - Improves driver assistance in complex traffic situations
Benefits: - Increased safety on the road - Enhanced driver assistance features - Smoother lane change maneuvers
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driver Assistance System for Safe Lane Changes This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the safety features of their vehicles, making them more attractive to consumers concerned about road safety. It can also be integrated into autonomous vehicles to improve their navigation capabilities in complex traffic scenarios.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the deceleration control unit determine the driver's intention to change the path in a branch path? - The deceleration control unit analyzes the operation state of the direction indicator and the steering state of the steering wheel to determine the driver's intention.
2. What are the potential applications of this driving support device? - The potential applications include advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous vehicles, and traffic management systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
the driving support device includes a deceleration control unit, a branch path detection unit, an operation state acquisition unit, and a steering state acquisition unit. the deceleration control unit determines whether the driver intends to change the path in the branch path based on the operation state of the direction indicator and the steering state of the steering wheel, when the deceleration control unit detects that a branch path exists in front of the host vehicle during execution of the deceleration control of the host vehicle with respect to the preceding vehicle, and when the driver determines that there is an intention to change the branch path, the deceleration control of the host vehicle with respect to the preceding vehicle is ended.
