OPERATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18191007 titled 'OPERATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an operation management apparatus that helps prevent collisions between mobile objects. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The operation management apparatus includes a map converter and a block control controller.
  • The map converter converts the state of individual sections for two mobile objects (referred to as the first and second mobile objects) into a reference section state.
  • The map converter can also convert the reference section state back into the individual section states for the mobile objects.
  • The block control controller uses the conversion results from the map converter to determine the individual section states of the first and second mobile objects.
  • The purpose of determining these states is to prevent collisions between the first and second mobile objects.
  • The operation management apparatus helps ensure the safe movement of the mobile objects by controlling their individual section states based on the conversion results.


Original Abstract Submitted

An operation management apparatus includes: a map converter that performs interconversion between a first individual section state corresponding to a first mobile object and a reference section state and interconversion between a second individual section state corresponding to a second mobile object and the reference section state; and a block control controller that determines the first individual section state and the second individual section state to prevent a collision between the first mobile object and the second mobile object based on conversion results of the map converter.
