Centralized Control Center for Lane-Borrowing Vehicle Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current approaches for lane-borrowing vehicle driving lack centralized coordination and control, leading to safety and efficiency bottlenecks, as they rely solely on driver experience and warning indications, which are insufficient for ensuring safe and efficient lane-changing operations.
Innovation Solution
A control center generates and sends lane-borrowing driving policies based on vehicle requirements, traffic rules, and real-time traffic data, coordinating all relevant traffic participants to ensure safe lane-changing by determining allowed road sections, driving areas, and adjusting vehicle sequences and speeds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If lane-borrowing driving is performed based on driver experience and warning indications only, then the system complexity is low, but the driving safety and efficiency deteriorate due to lack of centralized coordination
Solution Approach 1:
A control center is introduced as an intermediary between vehicles to coordinate lane-borrowing operations. The control center receives lane-borrowing requirements from vehicles, determines whether lane-borrowing is allowed based on road conditions and traffic rules, and sends control instructions back to vehicles. This centralized mediation resolves the contradiction by improving safety through coordinated control while managing system complexity through a dedicated control entity.
2Productivity
If centralized control is implemented for lane-borrowing driving, then driving safety and efficiency improve, but the device complexity increases due to additional control infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The control center is designed to perform multiple functions beyond just lane-borrowing coordination, including traffic flow management, collision avoidance, and route optimization. By making the control infrastructure multi-functional, the system improves driving efficiency and safety while justifying the added complexity through broader utility and avoiding the need for separate specialized systems.
3Reliability
If only warning indications are provided to drivers, then the ease of operation is maintained, but the driving safety deteriorates due to reliance on driver reaction
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a closed-loop feedback mechanism where the control center continuously monitors vehicle positions, lane-borrowing status, and road conditions, then provides real-time control instructions to vehicles. This feedback loop enables active collision avoidance by dynamically adjusting lane-borrowing permissions based on current traffic conditions, improving safety while maintaining operational simplicity through automated control decisions.

AI summary
A lane-borrowing vehicle driving method includes generating, by a control center, a first lane-borrowing driving policy of the vehicle based on a lane-borrowing requirement, a moving trend of the vehicle, and a preset traffic rule, where the lane-borrowing requirement includes a lane-borrowing driving reason, and the first lane-borrowing driving policy includes an instruction for controlling lane-borrowing driving of the vehicle, and sending, by the control center, the first lane-borrowing driving policy to the vehicle. The embodiments of this application are used for temporary lane-borrowing driving and lane-borrowing driving on a tidal lane.
