Application: System and method for controlling docking of unmanned vehicle (Patent ID: US20230409038A1)
The patent filed by Kia Corp describes a system for controlling the docking of an unmanned vehicle with terrestrial mobility. The system involves a server transmitting a docking request signal to both the terrestrial mobility and the unmanned vehicle, receiving authentication information from both, and then controlling the unmanned vehicle to dock based on this authentication. The server also transmits docking requirement information, including location coordinates and authentication numbers, to facilitate the docking process.
Furthermore, the system involves the server determining distances between the unmanned vehicle and terrestrial mobility, requesting unique authentication numbers to be shared, and ensuring that the received authentication numbers match before allowing docking. The unmanned vehicle and terrestrial mobility communicate via vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication to exchange authentication information. Once the authentication process is completed, the server sends control signals to initiate the docking process. The unmanned vehicle and terrestrial mobility each transmit a normal docking complete signal to the server once the docking process is successfully finished. Overall, the system and method outlined in the patent aim to streamline and secure the docking process between unmanned vehicles and terrestrial mobility.
