Application: Method and apparatus for platooning using uwb-based security authentication (Patent ID: US20240077888A1)
The patent filed by Kia Corp. describes a method and apparatus for platooning using Ultra Wideband (UWB)-based security authentication. The method involves a platoon leader vehicle selecting coordinates using a UWB sensor, determining the location of surrounding vehicles, performing mutual authentication, and including the surrounding vehicle in a platoon when authentication is successful. This system aims to enhance safety and efficiency in platooning scenarios by utilizing UWB sensors for authentication and coordination.
Additionally, the patent outlines the process of receiving information from platoon follower vehicles, assessing collision risks, and providing control commands to prevent collisions. The system also defends against spoofing attacks through mutual authentication and handles requests such as distance maintenance, merging, and separation. Furthermore, the apparatus includes features like providing images to drivers, offering rewards to platoon followers, and ensuring smooth communication and coordination between vehicles in a platoon. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to platooning that leverages UWB technology for secure and efficient vehicle-to-vehicle communication and coordination.
