Event Transport Relocation Using Dynamic Pickup Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing parking systems for transports lack efficiency in directing vehicles to available parking spots and automating the relocation of transports to more accessible spots, especially with real-time updates and immutable storage.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a parking processing node to detect transport parking, access occupant devices for pickup location and time updates, and send commands for transport relocation to proximate locations based on modified pickup information. Additionally, a destination processing node receives notifications for probable vacancies, determines availability, and assigns locations to specific transports.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional parking signs are used to indicate available parking spots, then parking availability can be shown, but the exact location and convenience of spots cannot be determined
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital copy of parking spot information through blockchain technology. Each parking spot is represented as a digital token containing location, availability, and accessibility data. This digital replica allows occupants to view complete parking information on their devices without requiring complex physical signage systems, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a blockchain-based intermediary layer between parking spots and occupants. This intermediary stores and manages parking spot data immutably, allowing occupants to query and receive accurate location information without direct complex communication infrastructure. The blockchain acts as a trusted mediator that simplifies the information exchange while maintaining data integrity.
2Productivity
If manual parking direction methods are used, then occupants can find parking spots, but the process is inefficient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-assigning parking spots to occupants before they arrive at the venue. The system queries available parking spots, evaluates their accessibility based on occupant preferences and transport type, and assigns optimal spots in advance. This eliminates the need for occupants to search for parking upon arrival, significantly reducing search time and improving efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors parking spot availability, transport arrival times, and occupant pickup location preferences. Based on this feedback, the system can reassign parking spots dynamically and notify occupants of changes. This real-time feedback loop ensures optimal parking assignment while minimizing search time and improving overall productivity.
3Ease of operation
If parking spots are assigned without considering transport type and pickup location, then parking management is simple, but accessibility and convenience are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by tailoring parking spot assignments to specific local conditions of each occupant. The system considers transport type (car, motorcycle, bicycle), event location, and preferred pickup points to determine the most accessible parking spot for each individual. This localized approach ensures high accessibility and convenience without requiring a completely complex management system, as assignments are made based on specific local factors rather than universal rules.
4Reliability
If real-time parking updates are implemented, then parking availability information is current, but system complexity and data storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical data storage and management systems with a blockchain-based digital system. Instead of using complex centralized databases that require significant storage capacity and management infrastructure, the system uses blockchain's distributed ledger technology to store parking spot data immutably and efficiently. This substitution maintains real-time availability accuracy while reducing overall system complexity through the inherent properties of blockchain technology.
Data Source
AI summary
An example operation may include one or more of detecting, by a parking processing node, a parking of a transport at an event location, accessing, by the parking processing node, a device of a transport occupant to determine a transport pickup location and a pickup time based on a conclusion of an event, detecting, by the parking processing node, from the device of the transport occupant at least one modification of the pickup location and the pickup time made based on an updated conclusion of the event, and sending a command to move the transport to a location proximate to the event based on the modified pickup location and the modified pickup time.
