MUMBAI, India, July 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517055958 A) filed by Continental Autonomous Mobility Germany Gmbh, Ingolstadt, Germany, on June 10, for 'method for determining a travel envelope along a planned travel trajectory, control device, vehicle, and computer program.'
Inventor(s) include Yoo, Yong-Ho; Stein, Nicolas; Deusch, Hendrik; and Ehricke, Matthias.
The application for the patent was published on July 4, under issue no. 27/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a method for determining a travel envelope along a planned travel trajectory (5), comprising the steps of: - providing the travel trajectory (5), the travel trajectory (5) comprising at least one curved trajectory segment (6, 7), in which a curvature of the travel trajectory (5) has a constant sign, - determining at least a first polygon (8), the perimeter of which describes a vehicle contour (10) at a first vehicle position (11) on the trajectory segment (6, 7), and a second polygon (9), the perimeter of which describes the vehicle contour (10) at a second vehicle position (12), - ascertaining a pivot point (13) of the vehicle contour (10) that has the greatest distance from the curved line (14) during a movement of the vehicle (1) from the first vehicle position (11) to the second vehicle position (12), and approximating the curved line (14) by means of at least two legs (16, 17) of at least one triangle (18) which encloses the curved line (14), - forming two convex polygons (22, 23, 27, 28) from the first polygon (8), the second polygon (9) and the at least two legs (16, 17) of the triangle (18) as a travel envelope segment (24, 26) of the curved trajectory segment (6, 7), - determining the travel envelope from the at least one travel envelope segment (24, 26)."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 24, 2023, under International application No.PCT/DE2023/200234.
