Area-Based Operation Planning for Automated Driving Vehicles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing operation management systems for automated driving vehicles face challenges in efficiently and accurately managing operation plans due to the wide variety of factors involved, which can lead to errors in vehicle assignment and increased operational complexity.
Innovation Solution
The system manages operation plans by associating users, automated driving vehicles, operation diagrams, and locations with specific areas, allowing for efficient and accurate management by displaying operation diagrams on a user's screen, and includes a database to store and manage this information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If operation plans for automated driving vehicles are managed using conventional systems, then comprehensive vehicle management can be achieved, but errors in vehicle assignment and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the operation management by dividing the service area into multiple geographic areas and associating different users with different areas. Each user can only view and manage operation diagrams for their assigned area, which segments the overall management complexity into manageable portions while maintaining comprehensive coverage of all vehicles and routes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by providing customized views of operation diagrams to different users based on their assigned areas. Each user sees operation information relevant only to their local area rather than a global view, which reduces information overload and simplifies the interface while maintaining comprehensive system-wide management capabilities.
2Loss of information
If operation diagrams are displayed to all users, then complete information availability is achieved, but information overload and user confusion increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by filtering operation diagram information based on the user's assigned area. Each user receives customized information displaying only operation diagrams relevant to their geographic area, ensuring they have access to all necessary information for their role while avoiding information overload from unrelated areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments information display by dividing operation diagrams into area-specific segments. Users view only the segment of operation information corresponding to their assigned area, which maintains complete information availability within their scope while simplifying the overall interface through selective presentation.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus configured to manage an operation plan for one or more automated driving vehicles includes a database configured to store one or more users, the one or more automated driving vehicles, one or more operation diagrams, and one or more locations on a route in each of the one or more operation diagrams, in association with information on at least one area. The information processing apparatus then displays, for each of the one or more users, one or more operation diagrams associated with information on at least one area associated with the user, on a built-in display or a screen of an external device.
