Emergency Vehicle Parking via External Database Queries
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle safety systems lack the ability to utilize real-time external data for optimal vehicle parking, especially in emergency situations, and do not efficiently communicate with rescue centers or other vehicles to ensure safe and quick parking.
Innovation Solution
A method that queries external databases for current traffic, weather, and roadside information, using vehicle-to-vehicle communication to identify and respond to driver fatigue, health, or technical issues, and automatically parks the vehicle by integrating data from sensors and digital maps to select a safe stopping location, while transmitting critical information to rescue centers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the vehicle is automatically slowed down and moved to the right-hand side of the road upon detecting driver health deterioration, then road safety is improved, but the system lacks real-time external data for optimal parking location selection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an external database as an intermediary component that stores and provides real-time information about roadside conditions, traffic situations, and weather data. This database acts as a mediator between the driver monitoring system and the parking decision-making process, enabling the system to access current external data without directly complicating the core safety monitoring function.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary queries to the external database before making parking decisions. By proactively retrieving information about suitable parking locations, road conditions, and traffic situations in advance, the system prepares optimal parking strategies before an emergency situation fully develops, ensuring safer and more informed parking actions when needed.
2Reliability
If the driver assistance system accesses and processes data from external databases and multiple sensors, then parking safety is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The driver assistance system is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a driver health monitor and as an intelligent parking decision-making system. By integrating multiple functions into a single system rather than creating separate dedicated systems, the patent reduces overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive safety capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the driver monitoring functions with the parking control functions into a unified driver assistance system. Additionally, it combines data from multiple sources (sensors, external databases, digital maps) into a single integrated decision-making process, reducing the number of separate systems and interfaces that would otherwise be needed.
3Loss of time
If the system quickly detects and responds to emergency situations, then response time is improved, but the accuracy of detecting driver fatigue and health issues may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors driver health parameters and compares them against threshold values stored in the system before actual emergencies occur. By pre-establishing detection criteria and continuously evaluating driver status, the system can quickly identify when thresholds are exceeded without needing to perform complex analysis during the actual emergency response, thus maintaining both speed and accuracy.
