CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240270230 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE
The patent application describes a control device for managing a vehicle brake system, involving an arbitrator unit, a command distributor unit, and a feedback controller.
- The arbitrator unit receives motion requests from various application requesting units related to driving support functions and arbitrates these requests.
- The command distributor unit then distributes commands to controllers for the actuators based on the arbitration results.
- The feedback controller feeds back control record values indicating the vehicle's motion, measured by sensor units, to the application requesting units to fulfill their motion requests.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for advanced driving support systems - Autonomous vehicles for enhanced control and safety features
Problems Solved: - Efficiently managing multiple motion requests from different application units - Ensuring accurate control of the vehicle's motion based on feedback data
Benefits: - Improved coordination of vehicle motion control systems - Enhanced safety and performance of driving support functions
Commercial Applications: "Advanced Vehicle Brake Control System for Driving Support Functions and Autonomous Vehicles"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control device handle conflicting motion requests from different application units? 2. What are the specific driving support functions that can benefit from this advanced brake control system?
Original Abstract Submitted
a control device for controlling a brake of a vehicle includes an arbitrating unit configured to receive motion requests for a plurality of actuators, which are used for controlling a motion of the vehicle, from a plurality of application requesting units related to driving support functions and to arbitrate the received motion requests, a command distributing unit configured to distribute commands to controllers for controlling the actuators based on an arbitration result obtained by the arbitrating unit, and a feedback controller configured to feed back a control record value indicating the motion of the vehicle, which is measured by using sensor units, to the application requesting units and to realize the motion of the vehicle requested by the application requesting units.
