Autonomous Vehicle Path Planning With Remote Driving Reservation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Autonomous vehicles face challenges in navigating situations where they cannot follow a driving path without user intervention, leading to difficulties in maintaining control, especially when transitioning between autonomous driving and remote control modes.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous vehicle system that generates candidate paths including both autonomous driving and remote control sections, requests remote driving reservations based on availability, and switches control between modes by determining reservation feasibility, allowing seamless transition and user selection of paths based on cost and convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the autonomous vehicle follows a driving path requiring remote control intervention, then the vehicle can reach the destination, but the user must directly intervene in control which reduces ease of operation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by requesting remote control reservations in advance before the vehicle reaches sections requiring remote control. The processor checks availability of remote control services, calculates estimated fares, and secures reservations ahead of time, allowing smooth transition to remote control mode without last-minute user intervention difficulties.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system acts as an intermediary between the autonomous vehicle and remote control operators. It manages reservations, coordinates availability, and facilitates the transition from autonomous to remote control mode, reducing the burden on users to directly manage control transitions.
2Reliability
If the vehicle stops when unable to follow the path without user intervention, then control safety is maintained, but productivity is reduced due to frequent stopping
Solution Approach 1:
The system requests remote control reservations in advance before reaching sections where autonomous driving cannot continue. By securing reservations beforehand, the vehicle ensures continuous operation can be maintained through pre-arranged remote control support, avoiding unplanned stops.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors path followability and reservation status, providing feedback to adjust operations. When autonomous driving becomes impossible, the pre-established reservation system enables seamless transition to remote control, maintaining driving continuity while ensuring safety.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple candidate paths are generated including remote control sections, then path optimization is improved, but device complexity increases due to reservation management
Solution Approach 1:
The control system performs multiple functions: it manages remote control reservations, calculates fares, communicates with the vehicle, and coordinates with remote operators. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single universal system, complexity is managed efficiently while providing comprehensive path optimization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically checks reservation availability, calculates fares, and manages the reservation process without requiring manual user intervention for each step. The processor autonomously handles the complex reservation management tasks, reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining high adaptability in path selection.

AI summary
Disclosed are an autonomous vehicle, a control system for remotely controlling the same, and a method thereof. Provided is an autonomous vehicle, including an autonomous driving control apparatus. The control apparatus is configured to include a processor. The processor is configured to generate a candidate path group to a destination, request a remote driving reservation to the control system when an autonomous driving section and a section requiring remote control are included in the candidate path group, receive a path selected from the candidate path group by a user depending on availability of a remote driving reservation of the control system and estimated fare, control the vehicle to follow the selected path, and control the vehicle depending on remote control of the control system when the vehicle reaches the section requiring remote control. The control apparatus is further configured to include a communication device configured to communicate with the control system.
