Moving Body Priority Control for Shared-Space Conflict Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for autonomous moving bodies, such as UAVs, ships, and automobiles, lack a method to effectively determine priority and subordination among multiple moving entities, leading to potential conflicts and inefficient behavior in shared spaces.
Innovation Solution
A control system that compares determination values between moving bodies using a prescribed rule to judge priority/subordination, considering factors like remaining capacity, movement velocity, altitude, and intended use, allowing for dynamic adjustment of behavior based on these determinations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If autonomous moving bodies operate in shared spaces without priority determination, then movement freedom is maintained, but conflicts and safety issues occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by using multiple determination axes (priority levels, individual information, state information) to dynamically adjust priority relationships between moving bodies. This resolves the contradiction by establishing clear priority parameters that prevent conflicts while maintaining manageable control complexity through systematic evaluation criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by allowing priority relationships to change dynamically based on real-time comparison of determination values across multiple axes. The control section continuously evaluates and adjusts priority/subordination relationships, enabling adaptive conflict resolution while maintaining operational safety without rigid fixed rules.
2Reliability
If priority determination based on multiple factors is implemented, then conflict prevention improves, but determination complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the priority determination process into distinct determination axes: priority levels, individual information, and state information. Each axis evaluates specific factors independently, and the control section integrates these segmented evaluations to make comprehensive priority decisions, reducing overall determination complexity while improving conflict prevention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes by establishing multiple determination axes with specific evaluation parameters. This structured approach to parameter evaluation enables systematic comparison between moving bodies, improving conflict prevention through comprehensive assessment while maintaining manageable complexity through organized parameter categories.
3Productivity
If real-time priority comparison is performed between moving bodies, then behavior optimization improves, but processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by implementing real-time priority comparison only when moving bodies are in proximity or potential conflict situations. The control section evaluates determination values and adjusts behavior based on necessary comparisons rather than continuous full-system monitoring, optimizing behavior while reducing unnecessary processing load and energy consumption.

AI summary
A moving body has a control unit that determines priority relating to movement on the basis of prescribed rules, the control unit comparing, on the basis of the prescribed rules, a first determination value that is the determination value for the moving body, and a second determination value that is the determination value for another moving body, whereby the priority of the moving body is determined in relation to the other moving body.
