Curve Speed Restriction Using Adaptive Vehicle Speed Models

The patent segments the vehicle speed control system by dividing it into multiple vehicle speed models (first vehicle speed model and second vehicle speed model) that are selected based on different driving conditions. This segmentation allows each model to be optimized for specific conditions, improving accuracy without requiring a single overly complex model to handle all scenarios.

The system dynamically selects between different vehicle speed models based on real-time driving conditions. The controller determines which model to use by evaluating current conditions, allowing the system to adapt its complexity level according to the situation, thereby maintaining accuracy while managing overall system complexity.

The patent divides the control system into distinct vehicle speed models segmented by driving condition types. Each model handles specific conditions, which improves accuracy for those conditions while keeping individual model complexity manageable. The segmentation strategy prevents the need for a single monolithic complex model.

The controller acts as an intermediary that manages the selection between multiple vehicle speed models. This intermediary component coordinates the complexity by choosing the appropriate model based on driving conditions, allowing the system to benefit from multiple specialized models without the full complexity of all models being active simultaneously.

The patent changes the speed parameter dynamically based on driving conditions, particularly curve detection. When a curve is detected, the system adjusts the vehicle speed to an appropriate restricted level using the selected vehicle speed model. This parameter change ensures safety in curves while allowing higher speeds in safe conditions, balancing productivity and reliability.

The system continuously monitors driving conditions and provides feedback to the controller, which then adjusts the vehicle speed accordingly. This feedback mechanism ensures that speed restriction is applied when curves are detected while maintaining higher speeds when conditions permit, thereby balancing safety requirements with productivity goals.
