Autonomous Shuttle Personalization via User Risk Assessment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional autonomous shuttle vehicles cannot provide personalized services to multiple users, as they typically operate only on predetermined routes and do not account for individual user situations or needs, such as health status or mobility handicaps, which limits their ability to adapt their operation mode and riding environment accordingly.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for controlling a moving object that involves checking user profile and status information to determine a risk level, setting an operation mode based on this risk, and adjusting movement parameters like acceleration, distance, and turning angle, as well as controlling the riding environment, including seat and air conditioner settings, to provide personalized service to multiple users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional autonomous shuttle vehicles operate only on predetermined routes, then the operation simplicity is maintained, but the adaptability to individual user needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic operation modes that automatically adjust based on detected user conditions. The system transitions between different operation modes (first mode for high-risk users, second mode for low-risk users) by monitoring user profile information and real-time status, making the vehicle adaptable without requiring complex manual configuration or sacrificing operational simplicity.
2Reliability
If the vehicle adjusts operation mode based on user risk level, then the user safety is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary risk assessment by checking user profile information (age, health status, mobility handicap) before operation begins. This pre-evaluation allows the vehicle to pre-set appropriate operation modes, reducing the need for complex real-time decision-making algorithms during vehicle operation while still ensuring user safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors user status information during operation and provides feedback to adjust operation modes. This feedback mechanism enables the vehicle to adapt to changing user conditions while maintaining a relatively simple control architecture through standardized monitoring and response protocols.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the vehicle provides personalized service to multiple users, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle performs automatic user identification and risk assessment without requiring manual input from users or operators. The system autonomously checks profile information, determines risk levels, and configures appropriate operation modes, eliminating the need for complex manual configuration processes while providing personalized service to multiple users.

AI summary
An embodiment method of controlling a moving object includes checking profile information of a user who rides in the moving object or status information of the user, checking a degree of risk based on the profile information or the status information of the user, setting an operation mode of the moving object based on the degree of risk, and controlling movement of the moving object based on the operation mode.
