Moving Body Balance Control for Disaster-Triggered Stabilization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing disaster detection and evacuation guidance systems are ineffective in preventing accidents and ensuring safe evacuation when a disaster occurs while a user is on board a moving body, as they fail to account for the user's panic and inability to control the vehicle.
Innovation Solution
A moving body control device and method that includes a balance control mechanism to stabilize the moving body in a more stable state and an event detection system to stop the moving body and change its state to a more stable configuration upon detecting a predetermined event, regardless of the occupant's driving operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the moving body is controlled to maintain balance in a first state (less stable) or second state (more stable) using a balance control mechanism, then the stability of the moving body is improved, but the complexity of the control system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The balance control mechanism dynamically adjusts the moving body's state between first and second states based on real-time conditions. The controller continuously monitors sensor data and transitions the moving body between stable and less stable states to maintain balance while adapting to changing environmental conditions and occupancy scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs sensor networks that continuously provide feedback to the controller about the moving body's state, environmental conditions, and occupancy status. This feedback loop enables the controller to make real-time decisions about state transitions, ensuring stability is maintained while managing the complexity through automated closed-loop control.
2Reliability
If the moving body control system automatically stops the moving body and changes to a more stable state upon detecting a predetermined event, then the safety and reliability are improved, but the response time and speed of operation may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures emergency response protocols and pre-identifies safe states for the moving body. When a predetermined event is detected by the sensor network, the controller executes pre-programmed sequences that rapidly transition the moving body to a stable state and initiate evacuation procedures, eliminating decision delays while maintaining safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The moving body control system autonomously detects events through integrated sensors and automatically executes emergency protocols without requiring external intervention. The system self-manages the transition to stable states and coordination with evacuation guidance systems, ensuring rapid response while improving reliability through automated safety mechanisms.
3Reliability
If the moving body ignores occupant driving operations during emergency events to enforce automatic control, then the reliability and safety are improved, but the ease of operation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The control system preemptively disables occupant control inputs when predetermined emergency events are detected, preventing conflicting operations that could compromise safety. By anticipating the need for automatic control during emergencies, the system overrides manual inputs before they can interfere with the emergency response sequence, ensuring reliable automated operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the level of automated control based on the operational context. During normal conditions, full occupant control is permitted for ease of operation. When emergency events are detected, the system automatically transitions to a mode where occupant inputs are ignored or overridden, prioritizing safety while maintaining ease of operation during routine use.

AI summary
The disclosure supports accident prevention or evacuation action of a user who is on board a moving body when a disaster occurs. A moving body control device includes: a moving body control part that controls a moving body maintained in a first state or a second state that is more stable than the first state by a balance control mechanism; and an event detection part that detects an occurrence of a predetermined event. The moving body control part stops the moving body from traveling and causes the moving body to change to the second state regardless of a driving operation of the moving body by an occupant of the moving body in a case where the event detection part detects the occurrence of the predetermined event.
