TRAVEL PLAN FORMULATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240230351 titled 'TRAVEL PLAN FORMULATION APPARATUS
The travel plan formulation apparatus described in the abstract is a system designed to create travel plans for vehicles while taking into account road information about restricted roads where pedestrian intrusion is prohibited.
- Controller acquires a travel plan and road information
- Determines if the travel route includes a restricted road
- Modifies the route to avoid restricted roads
Potential Applications: - Navigation systems for vehicles - Travel planning apps - Fleet management systems
Problems Solved: - Ensures compliance with road restrictions - Improves safety by avoiding restricted roads
Benefits: - Enhances efficiency of travel planning - Reduces the risk of accidents on restricted roads
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Travel Planning System for Vehicles" This technology can be utilized by transportation companies, logistics firms, and individual drivers to optimize travel routes and ensure compliance with road restrictions, ultimately leading to cost savings and improved safety.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus determine if a travel route includes a restricted road? - The controller analyzes the road information to identify restricted roads and then compares it to the travel route in the plan. 2. What are the potential implications of modifying travel routes to avoid restricted roads? - By avoiding restricted roads, the technology helps prevent accidents and ensures compliance with regulations, leading to smoother and safer journeys.
Original Abstract Submitted
a travel plan formulation apparatus according to the present disclosure is a travel plan formulation apparatus including a controller configured to acquire a travel plan for a vehicle and road information regarding an intrusion restricted road on which the intrusion of people into a roadway is restricted, determine, based on the road information, whether a travel route included in the travel plan includes a road other than the intrusion restricted road, and upon detecting that the travel route includes the road other than the intrusion restricted road, modify the travel route so as to avoid the road other than the intrusion restricted road.
