IN-VEHICLE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233524 titled 'IN-VEHICLE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The in-vehicle device mounted on a vehicle can acquire traffic congestion information for each lane on a road with multiple lanes and guide the vehicle to another lane based on this information. However, when the vehicle travels in a specific section from the exit in a lane connected to the exit, the device cancels this function.
- The device can acquire traffic congestion information for each lane on a road.
- It can guide the vehicle to another lane based on the acquired traffic congestion information.
- The function is canceled when the vehicle travels in a predetermined section from the exit in a specific lane connected to the exit.
