City Mobile Body Dispatch Using Infrastructure Sensing and Direct Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing management systems for mobile bodies in city areas face processing load issues due to clients processing and transmitting city area information, which can lead to inefficiencies and potential interference in mobile body operations.
Innovation Solution
A management system with infrastructure-based information acquisition means that directs mobile bodies providing conveyance services, allowing for direct instructions to be sent to mobile bodies based on detected information, switching between normal and emergency modes, and managing charging and routing decisions to optimize operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If clients process and transmit city area information to the server, then information can be acquired and analyzed, but processing load is applied to each client
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the information processing function from the client device and relocates it to the server. The server acquires city area information directly through its own information acquisition means rather than receiving processed data from clients, thereby eliminating the processing load from client devices while maintaining comprehensive information acquisition capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the city area information sources and the mobile bodies. Instead of clients directly processing and transmitting information, the server centrally acquires information through infrastructure means and distributes relevant instructions to mobile bodies, simplifying client functionality while maintaining system-wide information awareness.
2Productivity
If multiple mobile bodies operate in city area, then conveyance services are provided, but interference with travelling may occur between mobile bodies
Solution Approach 1:
The server continuously monitors city area information including positions of multiple mobile bodies and uses this feedback to dynamically generate collision avoidance instructions. When potential interference is detected through acquired information, the server adjusts travel instructions for individual mobile bodies to prevent collisions, maintaining both high productivity and travelling safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acquires and analyzes city area information in advance to predict potential interference situations before they occur. By proactively generating collision avoidance instructions based on predicted scenarios, the system prevents interference rather than merely reacting to it, ensuring both efficient service provision and travelling safety.
3Speed
If server directly sends instruction to mobile body, then response time is reduced in emergency, but service providing means is bypassed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic communication pathway that adapts to situation severity. In normal operations, instructions flow through the service providing means maintaining system consistency. In emergency situations, the server directly communicates with mobile bodies to reduce response time, seamlessly switching between communication modes based on real-time conditions.
Data Source
AI summary
It is possible to manage information on a city area in a centralized manner and reduce a processing load. A management system includes: information acquisition means that is provided in infrastructure of a predetermined city area and acquire information on the city area; service providing means sending instructions to respective mobile bodies for providing a plurality of different conveyance services, each of the mobile bodies including a sensor configured to detect the information on the city area and moving in the city area based on the information detected by the sensor, thereby providing each of the conveyance services; and instruction means for sending an instruction to the service providing means based on the information on the city area acquired by the information acquisition means.
