EVALUATING PULLOVERS FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240192687 titled 'EVALUATING PULLOVERS FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
Simplified Explanation: The patent application discusses evaluating pullovers for autonomous vehicles by identifying potential pullover locations near a destination and determining if they are suitable for parking based on predetermined types of regions of interest.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Identification of potential pullover locations near a destination. - Determination of suitability for parking based on predetermined types of regions of interest. - Comparison of identified pullover locations with those identified by autonomous vehicle control software.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in autonomous vehicles to improve parking decisions and ensure compliance with parking regulations in various locations.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of identifying suitable pullover locations for autonomous vehicles near destinations, taking into account specific regions where parking is not allowed.
Benefits: - Enhanced parking decision-making for autonomous vehicles. - Improved compliance with parking regulations. - Increased efficiency in finding suitable pullover locations near destinations.
Commercial Applications: The technology could be valuable for companies developing autonomous vehicles, parking management systems, and smart city initiatives aimed at optimizing parking solutions.
Prior Art: Prior research in the field of autonomous vehicle parking systems and location-based services may provide insights into similar technologies and approaches.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, parking management systems, and smart city initiatives to understand how this technology may evolve in the future.
Questions about Pullover Evaluation for Autonomous Vehicles: 1. How does this technology contribute to the overall efficiency of autonomous vehicles? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology on a large scale?
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the disclosure relate to evaluating pullovers for autonomous vehicles. in one instance, a set of potential pullover locations within a predetermined distance of a destination may be identified. whether any of the potential pullover locations of the set include one or more of a plurality of predetermined types of regions of interest where a vehicle should not park for an extended period of time may be determined. a pullover location is identified based on the determination. the identified pullover location may be compared to a pullover location identified by autonomous vehicle control software in order to evaluate the pullover location identified by the autonomous vehicle control software.
