Behavior Management Server for Personalized Congestion Alternatives
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional behavior management systems fail to effectively propose alternative plans to users who have already input a congested destination, limiting the selection of users to whom such plans can be offered.
Innovation Solution
A behavior management system that includes a behavior management server and user terminals, which predicts congestion, determines alternative plans, and selects a target user based on user history and preferences to propose personalized alternative routes or destinations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If alternative plans are proposed only to users who have newly input a congested destination, then the system can provide immediate assistance to new users, but it cannot effectively select users from a broader population including those who have already input the destination
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing destination input history and alternative plan proposal history for each user before needing to select target users. This pre-collection of data enables the system to effectively identify and select from a broader user population, including those who have already input destinations, rather than being limited to only newly inputting users.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system proposes alternative plans to a broader range of users including those who have already input the destination, then more users can benefit from congestion avoidance, but the system lacks criteria to effectively select which users to approach
Solution Approach 1:
The system utilizes feedback from stored user data including destination input history and alternative plan proposal history to determine which users to select as targets for alternative plan proposals. This feedback mechanism enables effective user selection by analyzing past behavior patterns and determining which users would most benefit from receiving alternative plan information.
3Productivity
If the system stores and analyzes user behavior history to select target users, then user selection becomes more effective, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The behavior management server segments the user selection process into distinct functional units: a storage unit that stores destination input history and alternative plan proposal history, and a target user determination unit that analyzes this segmented data to select target users. This segmentation allows the system to effectively select users while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design.

AI summary
A behavior management server (130) includes: a desired behavior specification unit (133) that acquires, from any of a plurality of users, a desired behavior including at least a destination desired to be visited by the user; a route determination unit (134) that determines a route to the destination; a congestion prediction unit (135) that predicts whether or not an element included in the route becomes congested; an alternative plan determination unit (136) that determines an alternative plan indicative of at least an alternative element that is an alternative to a congestion element, which is an element predicted to become congested, in order to avoid congestion of the congestion element; a target user decision unit (137) that decides a target user to whom the alternative plan is to be proposed out of the plurality of users; and a proposal unit (138) that proposes the alternative plan to the target user.
