Adaptive Object Placement Controller for Automated Driving
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle control systems do not adequately address the convenience of object placement during automated driving, as the object placement portion is not optimized for user accessibility based on the control state of automated driving.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control system that includes an automated driving controller and an object placement controller, which adjusts the object placement portion from a stored state to a more accessible state based on the degree of automated driving, ensuring the object placement portion is closer to the occupant and easier to use when automated driving is engaged, and returns to a less accessible state when the degree of automated driving increases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the object placement portion is kept in a stored state during automated driving, then the device complexity is reduced and safety is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates when objects are needed
Solution Approach 1:
The object placement portion is designed to dynamically change its state between stored and extended positions based on the automated driving control state. The controller automatically adjusts the placement portion's accessibility according to whether the vehicle is in automated driving mode, making the system adaptive to different operational contexts without requiring manual intervention from the user.
2Ease of operation
If the object placement portion is extended to be closer to the occupant during automated driving, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control functions for the object placement portion are merged with the existing automated driving control system. The same controller that manages automated driving operations also controls the extension and retraction of the object placement portion, eliminating the need for a separate control system and reducing overall device complexity while improving accessibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the object placement portion is automatically adjusted based on automated driving state, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as the automated driving controller and the object placement controller. This universal controller manages both the automated driving operations and the adaptive adjustment of the object placement portion, eliminating the need for separate specialized controllers and reducing system complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

AI summary
A vehicle control system includes an object placement portion in which an object can be placed, an automated driving controller configured to execute automated driving for automatically controlling at least one of acceleration or deceleration and steering of a vehicle, and an object placement controller configured to change the object placement portion from a first mode to a second mode in which the object placement portion is more easily used by an occupant of the vehicle than in the first mode in accordance with a control state of automated driving executed by the automated driving controller.
