Autonomous Vehicle Feedback Interface for Safe Command Approval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing autonomous vehicle management systems lack centralized control and user-friendly interfaces for safely managing vehicles in parking spaces and distribution centers, leading to potential safety risks due to inaccurate automatic execution of commands.
Innovation Solution
A centralized management system comprising a server, feedback device, and control device connected via a network, which includes a display, communication interfaces, and processors to receive and transmit control commands, display vehicle status, and allow user input for rejecting or executing commands, with features like heartbeat signals and latency indicators for safe operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a centralized management system is implemented to oversee and control autonomous vehicles, then vehicle management efficiency and safety are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback device serves as an intermediary between the centralized server and the autonomous vehicles. It receives control commands from the server, displays them to safety operators for review, and only executes approved commands. This intermediary layer adds human oversight to the automated system, improving safety while maintaining the benefits of centralized management without directly increasing system complexity at the vehicle level.
2Productivity
If automatic execution of control commands is implemented, then operational efficiency is improved, but safety risks increase due to inaccurate commands
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where control commands from the server are displayed to safety operators before execution. The feedback device shows the command details and allows operators to review, approve, or reject commands. This feedback loop ensures that potentially inaccurate commands are caught before execution, maintaining safety while allowing efficient automated operation for approved commands.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by requiring safety operator review and approval before executing control commands. This pre-execution check prevents potentially harmful or inaccurate commands from being automatically executed, countering the safety risks of automated operation while preserving operational efficiency for validated commands.
3Reliability
If a user-friendly interface is provided for rejecting control commands, then safety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback device provides a localized, simplified interface for safety operators to review and control commands. Instead of requiring complex system-wide changes, the solution implements a focused control panel on the feedback device that displays command details and provides clear approve/reject options. This local quality approach improves safety through user-friendly control while minimizing overall system complexity.

AI summary
A system, device and method of managing autonomous vehicles are provided. The system may include a server, a feedback device, a control device for controlling a vehicle. A server may include a communication interface configured to communicate with a control device of each of a plurality of vehicles and a feedback device; a memory storing instructions; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive control data from the control device of each of the plurality of vehicles; determine an operation status of each of the plurality of vehicles based on the control data; generate a feedback interface based on the operation status of each of the plurality of vehicles; and transmit the feedback interface to the feedback device.
