Vehicle Emergency Light Cause Detection for Rescue Guidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In vehicle accidents, the severity of occupant injuries and the delay in rescue operations can be exacerbated due to the inability to promptly request assistance, especially when the accident severity or occupant condition is not immediately assessed.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle equipped with multiple detectors and a processor that determines the state of occupants and the vehicle, transmitting appropriate rescue or guide information to external devices based on detection data, including emergency light causes and location information, to facilitate timely and accurate response.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple detectors and processing systems are installed to assess occupant conditions, then the accuracy of rescue information transmission is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processor is designed to perform multiple functions: it analyzes data from various detectors (collision, airbag, wiper, door open/close sensors) and determines both vehicle accident states and occupant abnormal states. This multi-functional approach allows accurate occupant condition assessment without requiring separate dedicated systems for each detection function, thereby improving measurement precision while controlling device complexity.
2Loss of time
If real-time monitoring and communication systems are implemented, then the response time for rescue operations is reduced, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessment of occupant conditions by continuously monitoring detector data and determining abnormal states in advance. When an abnormal state is detected, the processor promptly transmits rescue information through the communication device. This preliminary monitoring approach enables rapid response to emergencies while allowing the system to remain in a low-power state during normal operation, thus reducing overall energy consumption while minimizing rescue delays.
3Reliability
If comprehensive detection and communication capabilities are deployed, then the reliability of rescue information transmission is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple detection functions (collision detection, airbag deployment detection, wiper operation detection, door open/close detection) into a single integrated processor that analyzes all sensor data. This consolidation improves the reliability of rescue information transmission by ensuring comprehensive data collection and analysis, while simultaneously reducing device complexity by eliminating the need for separate processing units for each detection function.

AI summary
An embodiment vehicle includes an emergency light, a plurality of detectors, a communication device, and a processor configured to determine whether the vehicle is in a normal state based on detection information of the plurality of detectors when the emergency light is in a turned-on state, determine a turning-on cause of the emergency light based on current location information received by the communication device when it is determined that the vehicle is in the normal state, and control the communication device to transmit guide information corresponding to the determined turning-on cause of the emergency light to an external device.
