Moving Multi-View Display for Driver-Specific Roadside Messaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing highway and roadway information systems are static, limited in scope, and unable to provide dynamic, customizable information to individual drivers, requiring manual relocation and lacking real-time adaptability.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing sensors and a multi-view display on a moving vehicle to detect and analyze driver-specific data, compare it with operational parameters, and display personalized information dynamically as vehicles move relative to each other.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional static message boards are used, then information can be provided to drivers in the adjacent area, but the information cannot be customized for individual drivers and is limited to the area directly ahead
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static message boards to a mobile display vehicle that moves dynamically through traffic areas. The display vehicle can reposition itself to provide information to different drivers at different locations, enabling both customization and expanded coverage area simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile display vehicle acts as an intermediary between fixed infrastructure and individual drivers. It carries customized information to specific drivers based on their detected needs and positions, bridging the gap between static coverage and personalized delivery.
2Adaptability or versatility
If mobile message boards powered by generators are used, then information can be moved to different locations, but it takes time and manpower to relocate them before information can be provided
Solution Approach 1:
The display vehicle is designed to be self-propelled and dynamically mobile, eliminating the need for manual relocation. It can move autonomously or with minimal assistance to positions where information is needed, dramatically reducing relocation time while maintaining location flexibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional message boards are used, then information can be displayed to all drivers, but the information is not capable of being dynamic or customizable for each individual driver
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs sensors and detection devices that automatically identify driver needs, vehicle types, and positions without human intervention. The display controller then autonomously selects and presents appropriate information, making the system self-sufficient in delivering customized content while managing complexity through automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously detects driver and vehicle data, uses this feedback to determine appropriate information content, and adjusts displays in real-time. This closed-loop approach enables customization while simplifying operation through automatic decision-making based on detected conditions.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems for providing driver-specific information are disclosed. The system includes a moving display vehicle including a plurality of sensors and a multi-view display (MVD) positioned thereon. The system also includes a computing device(s) operably coupled to the sensor and the MVD and is configured to identify driver vehicle(s) within a vicinity of the display vehicle using the sensors. Additionally, the computing device(s) is configured to detect driver data for the identified driver vehicle(s) and compare the detected driver data to operational parameters for the display vehicle. The computing device(s) then creates driver-specific information for each of the identified driver vehicle(s) and communicates the information to the MVD for displaying. Where multiple driver vehicles are identified by the computing device(s) and sensors of the display vehicle, driver-specific information is created for each driver vehicle and simultaneously displayed on the MVD.
