Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack dynamic virtual topology market queues and price-time priority queues for curb space units, leading to inefficiencies in transportation, delivery, and parking systems, limiting flexibility and transferability of curb capacity units, and failing to account for contingencies and legal transformations.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method and system for price-time priority queue routing that includes receiving location data, generating routes, determining virtual hubs, and selecting optimized routes based on cost and market data, using a computing system to process and display price-time priority queues for curb, parking, and air space capacity units.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic virtual topology market queues and price-time priority queues are implemented for curb space units, then flexibility and transferability of curb capacity units are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility and transferability of curb capacity unitsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments curb capacity into discrete, tradable units that can be independently managed and exchanged through market queues. This segmentation enables flexibility and transferability while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular unit-based operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces market queues and price-time priority mechanisms as intermediary systems between curb capacity providers and users. These intermediaries facilitate flexible transactions and transfers while abstracting the complexity of direct negotiations and matching, thereby improving adaptability without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If market-based transactions with price-time priority queues are implemented, then efficiency of curb capacity utilization is improved, but computational requirements and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of curb capacity utilizationVSAvoidcomputational processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses price and time as key parameters to prioritize and match curb capacity transactions. By changing the prioritization parameters to price-time based ordering, the system efficiently allocates curb capacity without requiring complex optimization algorithms, thereby improving productivity while keeping computational requirements manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If virtual hubs and optimized routing based on market data are implemented, then transparency of market-based transactions is improved, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransparency of market-based transactionsVSAvoiddata processing requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The market queue system operates autonomously to match and execute curb capacity transactions based on price-time priority rules. This self-service mechanism provides transparent transaction processing without requiring extensive external data analysis or intervention, thereby improving information transparency while keeping data processing requirements at manageable levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
