Title: Nikhilkumar Bhalodiya and Adaptive Cruise Control
Introduction
Nikhilkumar Bhalodiya is an inventor associated with Blacksburg, Virginia, and Torc Robotics, Inc. His patent work addresses adaptive cruise control for autonomous vehicles, focusing on how a vehicle can maintain a suitable distance from another vehicle traveling ahead.
Latest Patents
Bhalodiya is credited with 1 patent: “Multi-vehicle adaptive cruise control as a constrained distance bound,” also described as “Systems and methods of determining distance bounds for adaptive cruise control.”
The invention describes an autonomous vehicle system that identifies a vehicle traveling ahead and determines that vehicle’s speed. It then calculates a distance bound using the speeds of both vehicles and controls the autonomous vehicle’s speed to provide adaptive cruise control according to that bound.
Career Highlights
Bhalodiya is associated with Torc Robotics, Inc., a company working in autonomous vehicle technology. His patent reflects an approach to adaptive cruise control that uses the lead vehicle’s speed and the autonomous vehicle’s speed to determine a distance constraint.
Collaborations
Bhalodiya’s listed coworker is Sheril Avikkal Kunhippurayil. Their shared professional context is associated with Torc Robotics, Inc.
Conclusion
Nikhilkumar Bhalodiya’s patent contribution focuses on distance-bound calculations for adaptive cruise control, connecting vehicle-speed information with autonomous driving behavior.
