Autonomous Vehicle Passenger Verification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Autonomous driving vehicles lack the ability to adaptively determine whether passengers meet specific conditions before initiating or continuing autonomous driving operations, leading to potential safety issues and inefficiencies in passenger transportation.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous driving vehicle system that includes a wireless communication unit and processor to verify passenger conditions, such as authentication and compliance with safety requirements, before starting or continuing autonomous driving to a destination, ensuring only authorized passengers can use the vehicle and that safety conditions are met.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If autonomous driving vehicle operates without passenger verification, then driving efficiency is improved, but passenger safety deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs passenger verification actions before initiating autonomous driving operations. The processor detects persons at the destination, determines whether autonomous driving conditions are satisfied, and only then permits the vehicle to operate, ensuring safety conditions are met in advance
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors passenger conditions during autonomous driving operations. The processor detects persons at destinations, evaluates whether safety conditions remain satisfied, and can terminate operations if conditions are no longer met, providing ongoing safety verification
2Reliability
If autonomous driving vehicle verifies passenger conditions, then passenger safety is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless communication unit and processor serve multiple functions: receiving location data, detecting persons at destinations, determining safety conditions, controlling vehicle operations, and maintaining stopped states. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each verification task
3Reliability
If autonomous driving vehicle stops when conditions not met, then passenger safety is improved, but transportation efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts vehicle operation state based on real-time passenger condition verification. The vehicle transitions between stopped and moving states depending on whether autonomous driving conditions are satisfied, allowing flexible response to changing conditions while maintaining safety

AI summary
A server for providing a ride sharing service for an autonomous driving vehicle, includes a memory; and a controller to receive a signal from a first application installed in a first external device associated with a first user for indicating that the autonomous driving vehicle is available, the first user being associated with an ownership of the autonomous driving vehicle; receive a ride sharing request from a second application installed in a second external device associated with a second user, the ride sharing request including a first and second destination location, the first destination location corresponding to a location of the second external terminal or a pick-up location, and the ride sharing request and the second destination corresponding to a drop-off point; search autonomous driving vehicles and identify candidate vehicles to service the ride sharing request based on a condition; and transmit a control signal to the autonomous driving vehicle to initiate autonomous driving.
