Platoon Following Control for Passing Lane Avoidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing platoon traveling systems may inadvertently cause vehicles to continuously travel in passing lanes, which can lead to inefficient traffic flow and safety issues.
Innovation Solution
A control device in the own vehicle is implemented to recognize the lanes of both the own vehicle and surrounding vehicles, preventing the own vehicle from proposing to follow vehicles traveling in passing lanes and adjusting its control to stop following if the surrounding vehicle changes to a passing lane.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the control device proposes to follow a surrounding vehicle without lane recognition, then the platoon traveling can be established quickly, but the own vehicle may continuously travel in the passing lane causing traffic inefficiency and safety issues
Solution Approach 1:
The control device performs preliminary recognition of the surrounding vehicle's lane status before proposing to follow. By checking whether the surrounding vehicle is traveling in the passing lane in advance (before the follow proposal is made), the system prevents the own vehicle from entering the passing lane through platoon traveling, thus avoiding traffic inefficiency and safety issues while maintaining quick platoon establishment.
Solution Approach 2:
The control device continuously monitors the surrounding vehicle's lane position and provides feedback to the follow proposal decision. When the surrounding vehicle is detected to be traveling in the passing lane, the system adjusts its behavior to not propose following, creating a feedback loop that prevents passing lane misuse while maintaining operational efficiency.
2Reliability
If the control device continuously monitors surrounding vehicle lane changes, then the own vehicle can stop following when the surrounding vehicle moves to the passing lane, but the system complexity increases

AI summary
A platoon traveling system includes a control device, provided in an own vehicle, that performs control to propose the own vehicle to follow a surrounding vehicle traveling around the own vehicle. Further, the control device does not propose to follow the surrounding vehicle traveling on a passing lane.
