AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing driving support systems do not adequately address the need for high energy efficiency in vehicle driving, particularly in the context of carbon neutrality and carbon minus initiatives.

Method used

A driving support system that utilizes a satellite signal receiver, inertial sensors, imaging devices, and road surface flatness detection to plan a trajectory that minimizes energy consumption by adjusting vehicle travel to flatter road surfaces, while also avoiding obstacles and maintaining vehicle stability.

Benefits of technology

Enhances energy efficiency by optimizing vehicle travel paths to reduce fuel or battery consumption and ensures safe, stable driving by maintaining the vehicle's horizontal position and avoiding obstacles.

Abstract

To provide a driving support system that can assist in driving with high energy efficiency. [Solution] A driving support system comprising: a satellite signal receiver, an inertial sensor, and an imaging device mounted on a moving body; a storage device for storing map information; a self-position estimation unit that estimates the position, attitude, and direction of the moving body based on positioning data from the satellite signal receiver, detection data from the inertial sensor, and the map information; a road surface flatness detection unit that detects the flatness of the road surface based on the position, attitude, and direction and an image from the imaging device; and a trajectory planning unit that plans the trajectory of the moving body based on the position, attitude, direction, and flatness, wherein the inertial sensor includes a sensor that detects angular velocity around the Z axis and has a bias instability of 1.0° / h or less; and the trajectory planning unit plans the trajectory to change from a first driving line to a second driving line with a smaller inclination angle.
