Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle navigation systems face challenges in determining and controlling updated routes due to system failures or inaccurate data output when encountering dynamic objects and traffic, leading to suboptimal routing.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic routing component generates colored top-down representations of driving lanes using overlap and cost data to enable vehicles to perform safer and more efficient maneuvers by processing multiple candidate routes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the vehicle determines an updated route based on detected occurrences, then the vehicle can avoid static and dynamic objects, but the system may output inaccurate or insufficient data or fail
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a dynamic routing component as an intermediary between the detection system and the vehicle control system. This component receives detected occurrences from the environment, processes them through a standardized interface, and generates updated route data. The intermediary absorbs the complexity of handling multiple detection sources and coordinates the route update process, preventing system failures while maintaining reliable routing accuracy.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system processes multiple candidate routes, then the vehicle can perform safer and more efficient maneuvers, but the data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the routing process into distinct components: route generation, route evaluation, and route selection. The dynamic routing component generates multiple candidate routes as separate entities, evaluates each independently using standardized criteria, and selects the optimal route. This segmentation allows the system to process multiple routes efficiently without overwhelming complexity, as each route is handled as an independent data structure through a modular processing pipeline.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques for enabling dynamic routing are described herein. A vehicle may receive a destination and generate a path to the destination. Further, the vehicle may generate a local graph that includes one or more driving lanes. The vehicle may use the path and the local graph to determine overlap data indicative of a distance that the path overlaps with the driving lane(s). The vehicle may utilize the overlap data to determine a color value(s) to associate with the driving lane(s) in a top-down image. Accordingly, based on determining the color value(s), the vehicle may generate colored top-down image(s) of the driving lane(s) and use such data to control the vehicle.
