Title: Jan Schumacher: Vehicle Safety and Intelligent Driving Innovations

Introduction

Jan Schumacher is an inventor based in Yokohama, Japan, whose patent work addresses vehicle speed recommendations and the reliability of automated systems. His listed portfolio includes 2 patents, and he is associated with Robert Bosch.

Latest Patents

One of Schumacher’s latest patents, “Method for Determining a Suitable Curve Speed for Vehicles, Device for Performing Said Method, and Use Thereof,” describes a way to recommend a suitable speed for an upcoming curve. The method compares the current driver’s past curve speeds with those of other drivers on the same curves, then uses that ratio to adjust a speed selected by other drivers for the upcoming curve. The resulting recommendation is presented to the vehicle user.

His other listed patent, “Safeguarding a System Against False Positives,” concerns computer-implemented system monitoring. It evaluates time series representing a system’s criticality, a reference measure, and an error measure to classify false positives. It also identifies near-false positives, in which a system does not trigger but the error measure approaches the criterion for a false-positive classification.

Career Highlights

Schumacher’s listed inventions reflect work on practical challenges in vehicle technology and system evaluation. His curve-speed method uses observed driver behavior to inform recommendations, while his false-positive safeguard distinguishes between actual false positives and near-false positives.

Collaborations

Schumacher is associated with Robert Bosch. His listed coworkers include Nils Tiemann and Stefan Aulbach.

Conclusion

Jan Schumacher’s two listed patents highlight his contributions to curve-speed recommendations and methods for assessing false positives in computer-implemented systems.
