Solution Overview

Problem

Drivers often exhibit aggressive behaviors when encountering hostile road events, increasing the risk of accidents and hazardous conditions for other road users.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method using a machine learning model trained on historical data to predict aggressive driving behaviors based on attributes of road segments, points-of-interest, and landmarks, providing likelihood assessments for target locations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If drivers encounter hostile road events, then aggressive behaviors are triggered, but road safety deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroad safetyVSAvoidaggressive driving behaviors
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identification of hostile road events and predicts aggressive driving behaviors before they occur. By analyzing historical data and current road conditions, the system proactively warns drivers about potential aggressive behaviors ahead, allowing them to take preventive actions such as changing lanes or adjusting speed before the aggressive event occurs, thereby maintaining road safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If aggressive driving behaviors are predicted and avoided, then accident risk is reduced, but driving time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccident preventionVSAvoiddriving time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by providing selective warnings only for predicted aggressive driving behaviors with high confidence levels, rather than requiring complete route re规划 for all potential risks. The warning system activates partially based on the severity and confidence of predictions, allowing drivers to maintain normal driving patterns for low-risk situations while taking preventive actions only when necessary, thus minimizing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If machine learning models are trained on comprehensive historical data, then prediction accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the prediction task into multiple components: identifying hostile road events, predicting aggressive driving behaviors, and generating warnings. The historical data is segmented into different features such as road conditions, traffic patterns, and driver behaviors. This segmentation allows the system to process complex data through modular processing steps, improving prediction accuracy while managing system complexity through divide-and-conquer architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for predicting events in which drivers render aggressive behaviors while maneuvering vehicles. In one example, the apparatus receives input data indicating a target location and including attribute data associated with the target location. The apparatus causes a machine learning model to generate output data as a function of the input data. The output data indicate a likelihood in which a target driver will render an aggressive behavior at the target location while maneuvering a target vehicle. The machine learning model is trained to generate the output data as a function of the input data by using historical data indicating events in which drivers rendered the aggressive behavior while maneuvering vehicles.
