DSRC Penetration Metric Display for Route Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack the ability to effectively display and utilize penetration metric information for DSRC-equipped vehicles and autonomous vehicles on a route, limiting the driver's or vehicle's choice of routes with higher DSRC penetration rates, which could enhance vehicle-to-vehicle communication awareness.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a cloud server and vehicle-side processors to generate, receive, and display DSRC penetration metric information, estimating penetration rates based on historical and real-time data from vehicles, allowing selection of routes with higher DSRC penetration for improved communication awareness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If DSRC penetration metric information is displayed on route selection interface, then drivers can choose routes with higher DSRC penetration rates to improve vehicle-to-vehicle communication awareness, but the system complexity increases due to needing cloud server infrastructure and real-time data collection mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
A cloud server acts as an intermediary between vehicles and drivers, collecting DSRC penetration data from multiple vehicles and processing it into route recommendations. This mediator handles the complexity of real-time data collection and analysis, while the vehicle system only needs to display pre-processed route information with DSRC penetration metrics.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud server performs multiple functions: collecting DSRC penetration data from vehicles, estimating penetration rates for different routes, and providing this information back to vehicles for route selection. This multi-functional approach consolidates complexity into a single external system rather than requiring each vehicle to independently perform all these functions.
2Measurement precision
If real-time DSRC penetration data is collected from multiple vehicles to improve penetration rate estimation accuracy, then the precision of route recommendation increases, but the quantity of data transmission and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential DSRC penetration metric information needed for route selection from the data transmitted by vehicles. Instead of transmitting all raw vehicle data, only the relevant penetration metrics and route information are extracted and sent to the cloud server for processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud server pre-calculates and stores DSRC penetration rate estimates for various routes based on historical data before they are needed for route selection. This preliminary processing reduces the amount of real-time data transmission required, as the server can provide pre-computed penetration rates rather than calculating them on-demand.
3Adaptability or versatility
If DSRC penetration metric information is integrated into the navigation system, then the usefulness of route selection improves by enabling better environmental awareness, but the ease of operation decreases due to additional information display and selection parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different levels of DSRC penetration information display to different parts of the user interface. The route selection interface shows DSRC penetration metrics for routes that meet the driver's communication awareness needs, while maintaining the standard navigation interface for other functions. This localized information presentation avoids overwhelming the user with unnecessary details.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems for presenting dedicated short range communication (DSRC) penetration metric information on route are provided. A system for DSRC presenting penetration metric information on route includes a screen, one or more processors, one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules. When executed by the one or more processors, the machine readable instructions may cause the system to generate at least one route between a start location and a destination, receive, from a cloud server, DSRC penetration metric information related to the at least one route, select one route among the least one route based on the DSRC penetration metric information, and display the selected route along with the DSRC penetration metric information for the selected route on the screen.
