Driver Support Information Presentation for Pre-Trip Route Guidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle support information systems provide driving support function notifications only during travel, failing to inform drivers about available functions before departure and may not tailor information to individual driver preferences.
Innovation Solution
A support information presentation apparatus that acquires a travel route, determines available driving support functions, and presents tailored information based on driver use history and understanding, adjusting presentation according to individual driver needs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If notification is given when operating conditions are satisfied during travel, then drivers are informed of available functions, but drivers cannot obtain information about driving support functions before departure or while stopped
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of driving support function availability based on the travel route before the vehicle departs. The presentation control unit displays information about available functions and their usable sections in advance, allowing drivers to plan ahead rather than receiving notifications only during travel.
2Device complexity
If the same driving support function information is presented uniformly to every driver, then information delivery is simplified, but the information may not be appropriate for individual driver needs and preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines each driver's degree of understanding for different driving support functions and tailors the information presentation accordingly. Drivers with higher understanding receive different information than those with lower understanding, making the information delivery adaptive to individual needs rather than uniform.
Solution Approach 2:
The presentation control unit dynamically adjusts the type and amount of information presented based on real-time assessment of each driver's degree of understanding. The system transitions from static uniform information delivery to dynamic adaptive information delivery that responds to individual driver characteristics.
3Loss of information
If driving support function information is presented to all drivers, then comprehensive information is provided, but drivers with high usage experience may feel annoyed by redundant information
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of information presentation based on the driver's degree of understanding. By adjusting information delivery according to individual driver characteristics, the system maintains completeness for those who need it while reducing redundancy for experienced drivers, thereby eliminating annoyance.

AI summary
A support information presentation apparatus that presents support information to a driver of a vehicle, the support information including a driving support function available in the vehicle and a section in which the driving support function is available. The support information presentation apparatus includes: a use determination unit configured to determine whether there is a driving support function available on a traveling route on which the vehicle is scheduled to travel; a use information acquisition unit configured to acquire a use history by the driver regarding the driving support function determined to be available; and a presentation control unit configured to, when it is determined that there is a driving support function available, present the support information.
