Integrated Navigation for Cars, Mobility Vehicles and Pedestrians
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current navigation services primarily focus on car navigation and lack integration for pedestrians and other mobility types, failing to provide comprehensive route guidance and warning information at intersections, especially for personal mobility users like walkers and drivers.
Innovation Solution
An integrated navigation system and method that receives user input on moving type and destination, transmits route information considering the moving type, and provides location and signal information related to crosswalks, including walking or driving signals, to user terminals, ensuring safe navigation for both pedestrians and drivers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If navigation service focuses on car navigation only, then car navigation functionality is optimized, but it cannot provide integrated navigation for pedestrians and other mobility types
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation service system is designed to provide universal navigation functionality for multiple mobility types (cars, pedestrians, personal mobility vehicles) through a single integrated platform. The system determines the user's movement type and provides appropriate navigation services accordingly, making one system serve multiple functions without requiring separate dedicated systems for each mobility type.
2Reliability
If navigation service provides comprehensive route information for all mobility types, then navigation coverage is improved, but warning information at intersections is insufficient for safety
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of the user's movement type before providing navigation services. Based on this predetermined information, the system proactively provides appropriate warning information at intersections and crosswalks in advance, such as alerting drivers about pedestrians at crosswalks or notifying pedestrians about traffic signals, ensuring safety information is delivered before the user reaches critical locations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If navigation service uses general map data for roads, then car route guidance is effective, but it lacks guidance for pedestrians and personal mobility vehicles
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different quality standards and types of map data to different mobility types. For car navigation, general road data is used; for pedestrian navigation, sidewalk and crosswalk data is emphasized; for personal mobility vehicles, paths suitable for those vehicles are highlighted. This localized adaptation of map data quality ensures each user receives relevant and appropriate route information for their specific movement type.
