VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240317220 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application describes a vehicle control system that generates a target trajectory and guides a vehicle to follow it. It also considers blind spot information to avoid collisions with objects in the blind spot region.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Vehicle control system generates a target trajectory for the vehicle to follow.
  • Blind spot information is used to identify blind spot regions in front of the vehicle.
  • A deceleration map is prepared in advance to indicate collision regions.
  • The system modifies the target trajectory to prevent overlap between collision and blind spot regions.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and collision avoidance systems.

Problems Solved: The technology addresses the issue of collisions with objects in the blind spot region of a vehicle, enhancing safety on the road.

Benefits:

  • Improved safety for vehicles by avoiding collisions in blind spot regions.
  • Enhanced control and guidance for vehicles to follow target trajectories effectively.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include integrating this technology into autonomous vehicles, fleet management systems, and advanced driver assistance systems to enhance safety and efficiency on the roads.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to collision avoidance systems, blind spot detection technologies, and vehicle control systems to understand the evolution of similar technologies.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on research related to autonomous vehicle technology, collision avoidance systems, and advancements in vehicle control algorithms for further insights into this field.

Questions about Vehicle Control System with Blind Spot Information: 1. How does the vehicle control system modify the target trajectory to avoid collisions in the blind spot region? 2. What are the potential implications of integrating this technology into autonomous vehicles for road safety and efficiency?


Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle control system generates a target trajectory and controls a vehicle to follow the target trajectory. blind spot information indicates a blind spot region present in front of the vehicle. under assumption that a first object appears at a first position in front of the vehicle, decelerating the vehicle with a first deceleration cannot avoid a collision between the first object and the vehicle. a deceleration map, which is prepared in advance, indicates at least a collision region consisting of the first position. the vehicle control system recognizes, based on the deceleration map, the collision region under assumption that the vehicle reaches a future position on the target trajectory. when the collision region and the blind spot region overlap each other, the vehicle control system modifies the target trajectory so that the collision region and the blind spot region do not overlap each other.
