Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle transportation systems are inefficient, costly, and prone to errors due to manual communication, lack of real-time tracking, and inadequate insurance data collection, leading to increased expenses and risks for dealers and drivers.
Innovation Solution
A driver allocation system utilizing internet-based communication and management, real-time GPS tracking, and trip-specific digital license plates, enabling efficient driver assignment, insurance customization, and accurate record keeping.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual communication methods (phone calls, verbal communication) are used for driver allocation and vehicle tracking, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity decreases and loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual communication methods (phone calls, verbal communication) with electronic communication systems including mobile devices, internet-based platforms, and automated messaging systems. This substitution enables real-time driver allocation, vehicle tracking, and documentation management, significantly improving productivity while the system complexity is managed through standardized software protocols and user-friendly interfaces.
2Measurement precision
If real-time GPS tracking and monitoring systems are implemented, then measurement precision of vehicle location improves, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic GPS tracking and monitoring at strategically determined intervals rather than continuous monitoring. The system updates vehicle locations, driver status, and delivery information at regular intervals or upon triggering events (e.g., reaching checkpoints, status changes), maintaining measurement precision while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous real-time tracking.
3Loss of information
If digital documentation and electronic record-keeping are implemented, then loss of information decreases, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates and maintains digital copies of all documentation including gate passes, vehicle condition reports, delivery receipts, and driver information. These electronic copies are stored in centralized databases accessible via mobile devices, eliminating physical paperwork while the system complexity is managed through automated document generation, storage, and retrieval protocols that streamline rather than complicate operations.
4Loss of time
If internet-based communication systems are deployed, then loss of time in driver allocation decreases, but use of energy by stationary object increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-loads driver profiles, vehicle information, and route data into mobile devices before drivers begin their routes. The system performs preliminary data synchronization and caching, allowing drivers to access information offline or with minimal connectivity, thereby reducing real-time server queries and energy consumption while maintaining fast driver allocation and information access.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for allocating drivers to procure targets, such as automobiles. These targets are then transported to a desired drop-off destination. The entire system is automated, such that a requestor may hire drivers that are certified by the system and would satisfy requirements associated with the target, such as proper driver's license and location of the driver relative to the target. The system is powered by an internet based mobile application that is designed to match individual drivers to auto dealers, auction houses, driving transport companies and other businesses and individuals (“requestors”) seeking to move automobiles, goods, services, tasks, etc. from one location to another. The system has been designed to find, organize, and manage drivers and all aspects of the trip on a real time basis and reduce the cost of the existing system.
