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.
