Use Management System for Moving Body Route Deviation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current transportation methods in suburbs, such as buses and private cars, face issues with punctuality, congestion, and high initial costs, while bicycles are not suitable for long distances or summer conditions, necessitating a more convenient and cost-effective personal transportation solution.
Innovation Solution
A use management system for a moving body, including a storage medium for identification and route information, and an information processing apparatus that records and charges for movement data, allowing users to rent and pay for personal transportation services like a public system, with features like check-in/check-out processing and fee adjustments based on route deviations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If buses are used for transportation, then coverage area is improved, but punctuality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to independently manage their transportation by recording movement information and automatically calculating fees based on actual usage, eliminating the need for manual fare collection and route verification that plague public bus systems
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides real-time feedback to users about their movement information and accumulated fees, allowing them to adjust their behavior to avoid excessive charges, thereby improving overall system efficiency and punctuality
2Speed
If private cars are used for transportation, then speed is improved, but congestion and parking availability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows a single vehicle to serve multiple users sequentially, transforming a private car into a shared mobility resource that maintains speed advantages while reducing overall traffic congestion and parking demands
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes the usage parameters of the vehicle by tracking movement information and applying fee structures that encourage efficient usage patterns, reducing congestion during peak periods
3Quantity of substance
If bicycles are used for transportation, then initial cost is reduced, but suitability for long distances and summer conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an information management intermediary that tracks and manages vehicle usage, enabling bicycles to be used for longer distances by coordinating their use with other transportation modes and providing fee incentives for appropriate usage patterns
4Speed
If motorcycles or private cars are used for transportation, then speed and coverage are improved, but initial cost and ongoing expenses deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the high initial cost of vehicle ownership into usage-based fees, allowing users to access fast transportation only when needed rather than bearing the full cost of vehicle ownership, thereby reducing ongoing expenses while maintaining speed advantages

AI summary
A use management system comprises a moving body on which a user rides; a storage medium and an information processing apparatus, wherein the medium stores identification, a predetermined route and movement information, and the moving body includes a first reader/writer for acquiring information from the storage medium and records information onto the storage medium, starts recording the movement information regarding the moving body when the use of the moving body is started, records the movement information when the moving body deviates from the route, and writes the recorded movement information onto the storage medium when the use of the moving body is ended, and the information processing apparatus includes a second reader/writer for acquiring information from the storage medium and charges an additional fee to a user based on the movement information.
