VEHICLE STOP HOLDING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240239311 titled 'VEHICLE STOP HOLDING DEVICE

The vehicle stop holding device described in the patent application includes an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that can take over control of the brake device to stop the vehicle if the backup control by a brake holding device cannot be achieved and the driver is detected to be getting off the vehicle.

  • The ECU is programmed to execute takeover control of the brake device after stopping the vehicle if a grace time elapses from a reference time without the driver's intervention.
  • This innovation ensures the safety of the vehicle by providing a backup control mechanism in case the primary brake holding device fails.
  • The system is designed to prevent accidents and ensure the vehicle remains stationary when necessary, even if the driver is not actively holding the brake.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicles with advanced safety features - Transportation systems where vehicles need to stop and hold position reliably

Problems Solved: - Ensures vehicle safety in case of brake holding device failure - Prevents accidents due to unintended vehicle movement

Benefits: - Enhanced safety for passengers and pedestrians - Reliable backup system for vehicle control

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Vehicle Safety System for Enhanced Control This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles, public transportation systems, and commercial fleets to improve safety and prevent accidents.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to vehicle safety systems, brake control mechanisms, and autonomous vehicle technologies to understand the evolution of this innovation.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in vehicle safety systems, autonomous vehicle technologies, and electronic control units to enhance the functionality of this innovation.

Questions about the Vehicle Stop Holding Device: 1. How does the ECU determine when to take over control of the brake device? The ECU takes over control when it detects that the backup control cannot be realized and the driver is getting off the vehicle.

2. What is the significance of the grace time in the takeover control process? The grace time allows the driver a brief period to intervene before the ECU takes over control to ensure a smooth transition in vehicle operation.


Original Abstract Submitted

the vehicle stop holding device that holds the stop of the vehicle and includes an ecu. the ecu configured to execute takeover control for taking over the operation of a brake device to a driver after the ecu stops the vehicle by the brake device in case where it is determined that the backup control for holding the stop state of the vehicle by a brake holding device cannot be realized and the getting-off operation by the driver is detected, and to execute takeover control after the ecu stops the vehicle by the brake device when a grace time required for the takeover control elapses from a reference time after a determination in case where it is determined that the backup control for holding the stop state of the vehicle by the brake holding device cannot be realized and the getting-off operation by the driver is not detected.
