Drive Assist Information Apparatus for Region-Specific Driver Experience
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Drivers navigating through countries or regions with different traffic regulations face challenges in recalling and adhering to specific rules, especially when their driving experience is limited, leading to potential traffic violations and disruptions in behavior.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus that determines the driver's experience level in a region and adjusts the provision of drive assist information, hiding or reducing information for experienced drivers to prevent annoyance and ensure smooth driving, while providing essential guidance for inexperienced drivers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If region-specific regulation information is provided to all drivers, then inexperienced drivers can obtain necessary driving guidance, but experienced drivers are annoyed and their driving behavior is disturbed
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing different information treatment to different drivers based on their experience level. Inexperienced drivers receive comprehensive region-specific regulation information, while experienced drivers receive reduced or no such information, making the system adapt to local needs of each driver group
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts information provision based on the driver's experience level. The processing unit determines whether a driver is experienced or inexperienced and accordingly decides to provide or suppress regulation information, making the information system flexible and adaptive rather than static
2Loss of information
If regulation information is provided repeatedly at each border crossing, then drivers can continuously receive updated guidance, but experienced drivers feel annoyed and disturbed
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by selectively providing regulation information only to inexperienced drivers while omitting it for experienced drivers. This partial information provision eliminates the harmful effect of repeated information on experienced drivers while maintaining necessary information delivery to those who need it
3Loss of information
If the apparatus provides comprehensive regulation information, then all drivers receive complete guidance, but inexperienced drivers may feel overwhelmed and inexperienced drivers cannot distinguish essential from non-essential information
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and removes unnecessary regulation information from the information stream presented to experienced drivers. By taking out redundant information that experienced drivers already know, the system reduces information complexity while maintaining completeness for inexperienced drivers

AI summary
An apparatus for providing drive assist information depending on a driving experience amount in a country and/or region where a host vehicle currently travels. The apparatus includes a processing unit configured to determine a country and/or region where a host vehicle currently travels, determine whether or not a driving experience amount of a driver in the determined country/region reaches a predetermined reference value, and to stop providing at least a part of the assist information related to the country and/or region where the host vehicle currently travels, if the driving experience value reaches the predetermined reference value.
