Coasting Guidance System Selective Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing coasting guidance systems do not provide users with the ability to selectively conceal stop event locations for privacy and resource conservation, as they display all stop event locations on a map, potentially revealing frequent travel routes and consuming system resources unnecessarily.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize an electronic control unit (ECU) to determine stop event locations, store them in memory, and display them on a map, allowing users to indicate a coasting guidance area or exclusion area, where stop event locations within the exclusion area are concealed, and the system is optionally disabled to conserve resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all stop event locations are displayed on the map, then complete information is provided to the driver, but user privacy is compromised by revealing frequent travel routes
Solution Approach 1:
The map display is segmented into multiple regions, with each region independently configured to show or hide stop event locations. Users can draw exclusion areas on the map to create distinct zones where coasting guidance is concealed, while other areas continue to display complete stop event information. This segmentation allows simultaneous privacy protection in specific zones and information completeness in other zones.
2Productivity
If the coasting guidance system operates continuously in all areas, then maximum fuel efficiency is achieved, but system resources are consumed unnecessarily in areas where coasting is not desired
Solution Approach 1:
The coasting guidance system dynamically adjusts its operation based on geographic location. The system activates coasting guidance only when the vehicle enters designated coasting guidance areas, and automatically deactivates when entering exclusion areas. This dynamic on/off switching optimizes fuel efficiency in permitted zones while conserving system resources in zones where coasting is not desired, eliminating continuous operation overhead.
3Productivity
If coasting guidance is provided in all areas, then maximum regenerative braking utilization is achieved, but user convenience is reduced by providing unwanted guidance in certain locations
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements location-specific guidance qualities by allowing users to define exclusion areas where coasting guidance is suppressed. In these local zones, the system respects user preferences by not providing coasting instructions, while maintaining full coasting guidance functionality in other areas. This local quality approach ensures user convenience is preserved in specific locations without compromising overall system effectiveness.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and apparatus for selectively learning and displaying information for a coasting guidance system. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to determine a stop event location where a coasting guidance instruction is displayed. The system includes a memory configured to store one or more stop event locations. The system includes a display configured to display the stored one or more stop event locations on a map. The display is configured to receive an indication of a coasting guidance area on the map. The display is configured to identify a portion of the stored one or more stop event locations within the coasting guidance area. The display is configured to selectively display the portion of the one or more stop event locations on the map such that a stop event location outside of the coasting guidance area is absent from the map.
