Golf Vehicle Auxiliary Function Control Near Sensitive Locations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing off-road vehicles lack effective systems for automatically adjusting auxiliary functions based on proximity to locations of interest or other vehicles, leading to potential disruptions and etiquette violations.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle system equipped with sensors and a control system that detects proximity to locations or vehicles, applies automated modifications to auxiliary functions such as audio volume or lighting, and allows for exemptions based on group affiliations or user settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If automated modification of auxiliary functions is implemented when detecting proximity to locations of interest, then operational etiquette and environmental compliance are improved, but device complexity increases due to additional sensors and control systems
Solution Approach 1:
The control system serves multiple functions: it detects proximity to locations of interest, determines applicable automated modification exemptions based on group affiliations, and controls auxiliary functions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated systems for each task.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically determines whether exemptions apply and modifies auxiliary functions without requiring manual user input. The vehicle self-manages the compliance decisions based on pre-configured exemption criteria and real-time location data.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If automated modification of auxiliary functions is implemented, then disruptions to other vehicles and locations are reduced, but ease of operation decreases due to automated control interventions
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts auxiliary functions based on real-time conditions. When a location of interest is detected and no exemption applies, the system automatically modifies functions like audio output or lighting. The system remains adaptable to changing environments while maintaining user-defined exemption rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors proximity to locations of interest and automatically applies modifications or exemptions based on feedback from sensors and location data. This closed-loop control ensures disruptions are minimized while respecting user-configured preferences.
3Adaptability or versatility
If automated modification exemption based on group affiliation is implemented, then social norms and group etiquette are maintained, but device complexity increases due to exemption determination logic
Solution Approach 1:
Exemption criteria and group affiliations are pre-configured in the system before operation. The control system stores exemption data associated with specific locations or vehicles, allowing rapid determination during operation without complex real-time calculations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses identification data (such as vehicle identifiers or communication signals) to recognize group affiliations and apply pre-stored exemption rules. This approach simplifies the determination process by matching detected identifiers against a database of known group memberships.

AI summary
A golf vehicle system includes a golf vehicle including an auxiliary system. The golf vehicle system further includes at least one processing circuit configured to: detect that the golf vehicle is in proximity to a location of interest associated with an automated modification of a function of the auxiliary system from a first state to a second state; determine whether an automated modification exemption applies to the golf vehicle for the location of interest; upon determining that the automated modification exemption applies to the golf vehicle, maintain the function of the auxiliary system in the first state; and, upon determining that the automated modification exemption does not apply to the golf vehicle, modify the function of the auxiliary system from the first state to the second state.
