Vehicle Speed Control Mode Transition Logic
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing autonomous driving systems require users to manually reconfigure the automatic speed setting mode when transitioning between roads with and without speed limit support, causing inconvenience and potential unintended mode deactivation.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that utilize a path guide device and controller to automatically activate and deactivate the speed setting mode based on road type and user input, ensuring seamless transitions and reflecting user intentions by storing and reactivating the mode as necessary.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the automatic setting mode is automatically released when the vehicle enters a road without speed limit support, then the system adapts to road conditions, but the user must manually reconfigure the mode when returning to supported roads, reducing convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The controller stores the activation state of the automatic setting mode before the vehicle enters a road without speed limit support. When the vehicle returns to a supported road, the controller automatically restores the mode based on the stored state, eliminating the need for manual reconfiguration and improving ease of operation while maintaining adaptability
2Ease of operation
If the automatic setting mode is automatically reactivated when the vehicle returns to a supported road, then user convenience is improved, but the system may reactivate the mode against user intention, reducing reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The controller provides feedback to the user through a notification (display or audio signal) before automatically reactivating the automatic setting mode. This allows the user to confirm or cancel the reactivation, ensuring the system acts according to user intention while maintaining the convenience of automatic restoration
3Ease of operation
If the system continuously monitors road type and mode state for automatic activation/deactivation, then seamless transitions are achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller stores the activation state in advance before road transitions occur. This preliminary action simplifies the control logic by avoiding the need for continuous complex monitoring and decision-making during transitions, achieving seamless mode restoration while reducing device complexity

AI summary
An apparatus for automatically setting a speed of a vehicle may include a path guide device configured to obtain information related to a location of the vehicle, a type of a road corresponding to the location, and a speed limit of the road corresponding to the location and a controller configured to be electronically connected to the path guide device, wherein the controller is configured to activate an automatic setting mode for setting a setting speed for autonomous driving of the vehicle to a speed limit of a road corresponding to a current location of the vehicle, when the vehicle enters another type of road from the specified type of road in a state where the automatic setting mode is activated, release the automatic setting mode, and activate the automatic setting mode.
