VEHICLE TRAVELING SUPPORT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240227936 titled 'VEHICLE TRAVELING SUPPORT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The driving support ECU described in the patent application is designed to adjust steering angle guard values and steering angle speed guard values when a specific recognition state occurs during lane changes.
- The driving support ECU is configured to recognize when a lane marker changes from left to right or vice versa under a one side lane marker recognizable state.
- When this recognition state occurs, the ECU sets the steering angle guard value to a second value smaller than the original value and adjusts the steering angle speed guard value accordingly.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Adaptive adjustment of steering angle guard values and steering angle speed guard values during lane changes.
- Recognition of lane marker changes from left to right or vice versa under specific conditions.
Potential Applications:
- Autonomous driving systems.
- Advanced driver assistance systems.
- Vehicle safety technologies.
Problems Solved:
- Ensures smoother and safer lane changes.
- Enhances overall driving experience.
- Improves vehicle stability during lane transitions.
Benefits:
- Increased safety on the road.
- Enhanced driving comfort.
- Optimal vehicle control during lane changes.
Commercial Applications:
- Integration into self-driving cars.
- Implementation in high-end vehicles with advanced safety features.
- Adoption by automotive manufacturers for next-generation vehicles.
Questions about Driving Support ECU: 1. How does the driving support ECU improve lane change safety? 2. What are the key benefits of adaptive steering angle adjustments during lane changes?
Original Abstract Submitted
a driving support ecu is configured to, when a specific recognition state occurs where a lane marker recognized changes from a left lane marker to a right lane marker or vice versa under a one side lane marker recognizable state, set a steering angle guard value to a second steering angle guard value smaller than a first steering angle guard value and set a steering angle speed guard value to a second steering angle speed guard value smaller than a first steering angle speed guard value.
