Ground Robot Path Coordination for Pedestrian Priority
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Unmanned ground robots often obstruct pedestrian traffic on public roadways, failing to prioritize pedestrian passage as required by regulations, and existing technologies lack effective methods to ensure compliance with these regulations.
Innovation Solution
Unmanned ground robots employ wireless communication to determine and modify their driving paths to avoid obstructing pedestrians, utilizing group driving strategies to ensure pedestrian passage priority by coordinating with other robots and infrastructure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If unmanned ground robots drive on public roadways to deliver services, then service efficiency and productivity are improved, but pedestrian traffic obstruction and safety risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The robot determines in advance whether it will obstruct pedestrian traffic before proceeding with its driving path. By performing this determination action beforehand, the robot can proactively adjust its path or speed to prevent obstruction, thus maintaining both service efficiency and pedestrian safety
Solution Approach 2:
The robot dynamically adjusts its driving behavior based on real-time conditions. It modifies its driving path and speed according to the presence and movement of pedestrians, enabling flexible adaptation that resolves the contradiction between maintaining productivity and avoiding harmful effects
2Reliability
If robots adjust driving paths and speeds to ensure pedestrian priority, then pedestrian safety and regulatory compliance are improved, but driving efficiency and productivity may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The robot continuously monitors pedestrian positions and its own driving status, using this feedback to dynamically adjust its path and speed. This closed-loop control ensures safety requirements are met while minimizing unnecessary delays to driving efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The robot changes its driving parameters (path coordinates and speed) in response to pedestrian presence. By adjusting these parameters dynamically rather than maintaining fixed values, the system achieves both safety compliance and operational efficiency
