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.
