CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240308373 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE
The vehicle ECU acquires detection information from a detection sensor that detects pedestrians located around the vehicle, and determines whether there are pedestrians located around the vehicle based on this detection information. Then, when the vehicle ECU determines that there are pedestrians located around the vehicle, the vehicle ECU outputs to the supply device the instruction information to reduce the amount of transmitted power supplied from the supply device when there are no pedestrians around the vehicle.
- Detection sensor detects pedestrians around the vehicle
- Vehicle ECU determines presence of pedestrians based on detection information
- Instruction to supply device to reduce power when no pedestrians are around
Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Pedestrian safety systems - Smart city infrastructure
Problems Solved: - Reducing power consumption when pedestrians are not present - Improving pedestrian safety around vehicles
Benefits: - Enhanced energy efficiency - Increased pedestrian safety - Potential for integration into various vehicle systems
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Pedestrian Detection System for Vehicles" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for the development of advanced safety features in vehicles, catering to the growing demand for smart and efficient transportation solutions. Additionally, it can be integrated into smart city initiatives to enhance pedestrian safety and reduce energy consumption in urban environments.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the detection sensor differentiate between pedestrians and other objects? 2. What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy and reliability of pedestrian detection by the system?
