Driver Pattern-Based Route Guidance for Queue Entry
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing navigation systems fail to effectively guide drivers when entering or exiting a road with a long waiting queue, leading to potential dangers and traffic congestion.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method for driver pattern-based route guidance that determines whether to guide the driver to an alternative entry or exit route based on the driver's personal pattern and the waiting queue situation, using a queue entry determining unit, a weight value setting unit, and an entry or exit route guiding unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the navigation system guides the driver to enter the waiting queue at the beginning of the entry or exit road, then the driver can follow the planned route, but the driver may pass over the queue if it is long or not frequently experienced, leading to safety hazards and traffic congestion
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the driver's vehicle position relative to the waiting queue start point before the driver actually reaches it. By detecting whether the vehicle has passed the queue start point and calculating the remaining distance, the system can proactively determine whether to guide the driver to enter the queue or switch to an alternative route, preventing the safety hazard of passing over the queue before it occurs
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the driver's actual position, the waiting queue length, and alternative route conditions, then provides feedback by dynamically adjusting the route guidance. When the queue is long or the driver has passed the start point, the system feedbacks an alternative route recommendation; when conditions are favorable, it confirms the original route, creating a closed-loop control that adapts to real-time conditions
2Productivity
If the driver is guided to enter in the middle of the waiting queue, then the entry efficiency may be improved, but it may cause traffic congestion in the lane next to the entry and exit lane
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation system acts as an intermediary that mediates between the driver's entry需求和 the traffic flow in adjacent lanes. By analyzing the waiting queue length and alternative route conditions, the system determines the optimal entry strategy - either guiding entry at the beginning (maintaining lane discipline) or recommending alternative routes (avoiding middle-entry congestion), thus preventing harmful traffic patterns while achieving efficient entry
3Adaptability or versatility
If the navigation system provides fixed route guidance without considering driver pattern, then the system complexity is low, but the route guidance cannot adapt to different driver preferences and waiting queue situations
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of route guidance from fixed to dynamic by introducing driver pattern detection and waiting queue condition monitoring. The route guidance adapts by changing parameters such as the recommended entry point (beginning vs. middle of queue), route selection (original vs. alternative), and guidance timing, based on detected driver patterns and real-time traffic conditions, achieving adaptability without excessive complexity

AI summary
An apparatus for driver pattern-based route guidance is provided, and may include a queue entry determining unit configured to determine whether a driver's vehicle has entered the waiting queue at a beginning of a waiting queue of a first entry or exit road, a weight value setting unit configured to, when the vehicle has not entered the waiting queue, assign a first weight value to a first route passing through the first entry or exit road based on a currently remaining distance from the driver's vehicle to the first entry or exit road and driver's personal pattern, and an entry or exit route guiding unit configured to guide a customized entry or exit route to the driver by comparing the first weight value of the first route with a second weight value of a second route passing through a predetermined second entry or exit road.
