Remote-Controlled Moving Object Alert Mode for Pedestrian Proximity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for controlling moving objects by remote control lack the ability to effectively alert and manage the approach of various types of persons, including inexperienced or visitors, in areas where the moving objects operate, leading to potential safety concerns.
Innovation Solution
A controller system that includes a whereabouts determination unit, a moving object specification unit, and a signal transmission unit to change the moving object's mode to an alert mode by reducing speed, increasing light or sound emission, or both, when a target person is detected, ensuring safer operation in areas with diverse personnel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the moving object operates at normal speed in areas with diverse personnel, then productivity is maintained, but safety risk increases due to inability to properly alert inexperienced persons or visitors
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the operating mode of the moving object based on the detected handling level of persons in the area. When inexperienced persons or visitors are detected, the system automatically transitions from normal operation to alert mode, which modifies operating parameters such as speed and alert signal intensity. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by allowing normal productivity when safe, while ensuring safety when vulnerable persons are present.
2Reliability
If the system implements alert mode with reduced speed and increased alert signals, then safety for inexperienced persons is improved, but operational efficiency decreases due to mode changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the area for persons and their handling levels, providing feedback to the control unit. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts the operating mode. When target persons (inexperienced persons or visitors) are detected, the system implements alert mode with reduced speed and enhanced alert signals. When no target persons are present, the system returns to normal operation. This feedback mechanism ensures safety improvements only when necessary, minimizing impact on overall productivity.
3Measurement precision
If the system uses multiple detection methods to identify target persons, then detection accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs a detection unit that can identify multiple attributes of persons simultaneously - distinguishing between experienced persons and target persons (inexperienced persons or visitors) based on handling level. This multi-functional detection capability allows the system to perform multiple identification tasks with a single integrated unit, improving detection accuracy without proportionally increasing system complexity. The detection unit universally handles various person types and scenarios.

AI summary
A controller used in a system that moves a moving object by remote control comprises: a whereabouts determination unit, if a first detection unit provided at the system detects a target person, the whereabouts determination unit determining whereabouts of the target person on the basis of a detection result of the target person by the first detection unit; a moving object specification unit that specifies the moving object being controlled by the remote control and likely to approach the target person on the basis of the determined whereabouts; and a signal transmission unit that transmits a control signal to the specified moving object. The control signal is a signal for changing a driving mode of the moving object to an alert mode for giving an alert against the target person.
