ABSTRACT

As an emerging technology that integrates multidisciplinary and multi-technology, Automated Driving is triggering a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, thus attracting the attention of all countries in the world. Based on the Derwent patent database, this paper collects relevant patent information related to Automated Driving from 1998 to 2016 by using software tools such as patent measurement and CiteSpace, and empirically analyzes the temporal distribution, structural distribution, hotspot and frontier technologies, and geographical distribution of automated driving. The study found that automated vehicles have rapidly developing in the past 5 years, which indicates that the technical innovation of automated driving is in an emerging stage. There are geographical differences in innovative activities and capabilities in the field of automated driving. The United States has the absolute competitive advantages, while each country has different technological innovation capabilities in different technical fields. Finally, this paper puts forward some suggestions of our country to develop the technology and industry of automated driving in the future.
