Position Forecasting Apparatus for Moving Bodies

The patent applies preliminary action by forecasting the future position of the moving body before actual measurement is needed. The forecasting unit predicts position at future time points based on current and past position data, allowing the control system to prepare advance position information. This preemptive forecasting enables the system to compensate for measurement delays inherent in filtering and signal processing operations.

The patent introduces an intermediary forecasting unit that acts as a mediator between the position detection apparatus and the movement control system. Instead of directly using noisy raw measurements or heavily filtered delayed signals, the forecasting unit generates intermediate predicted position values that smooth out noise while maintaining temporal relevance. This intermediary layer decouples the noise reduction function from the timing function, allowing accurate forecasting without direct noise amplification.

The forecasting unit performs preliminary calculation of future positions based on current filtered position data. By predicting where the moving body will be at future time points, the system obtains clean, delayed position information in advance, eliminating the need to wait for subsequent filtered measurements. This preliminary forecasting compensates for the time loss introduced by filtering operations.

The patent implements dynamics by adaptively adjusting the forecasting horizon and prediction methodology based on the moving body's operational state. The forecasting unit can modify its prediction parameters according to changes in speed, acceleration, and motion patterns, allowing the system to maintain optimal balance between noise reduction and response time under varying operational conditions.
