Driver Assistance Coaching for Unused ADAS Feature Adoption
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing driver assistance systems do not effectively encourage drivers to utilize features they have previously refused or are not using, leading to underutilization of potentially beneficial functionalities.
Innovation Solution
A driver assistance apparatus and vehicle system that includes a processor and communicator to generate proposals for coaching in unused driver assistance systems, monitor user responses, and provide tutorials or invitations to trial sessions, ensuring safety and promoting the use of these systems through video tutorials and simulated driving experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If driver assistance systems are provided to drivers through HMI, then drivers can access useful functionalities, but drivers may refuse to use them leading to underutilization
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by providing coaching and tutorials before the driver actually uses the driver assistance system. When refusal is detected, the system proactively offers coaching sessions, video tutorials, and simulated driving experiences to prepare the driver mentally and knowledgeably, thereby reducing future refusal and increasing utilization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If coaching and tutorials are provided to encourage usage, then utilization of driver assistance system increases, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically detecting when a driver refuses to use the driver assistance system and autonomously providing appropriate coaching materials, tutorials, or simulated driving sessions without requiring manual intervention from support staff or complex external systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback mechanisms by monitoring driver responses and refusal patterns, then adapting the coaching content and delivery method accordingly. The processor analyzes refusal data and adjusts the coaching strategy, creating a closed-loop system that improves utilization while managing complexity through intelligent adaptation.
Data Source
AI summary
A driver assistance apparatus includes a processor and a communicator. The processor is configured to generate request data regarding a request of a user for an input, and process response data to the request data. The communicator is configured to transmit the request data to a user interface, and receive the response data from the user interface. The processor is configured to, upon acquisition of data regarding refusal of use of an unused driver assistance system as the response data, generate data regarding a proposal for coaching in the driver assistance system as the request data, and upon acquisition of data regarding consent to the coaching in the driver assistance system as the response data, perform processing necessary for the coaching in line with the input of an intention of the user.
