Moving-Object Warning Control Through Pedestrian Risk Grouping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing warning systems for vehicles struggle to efficiently manage communication resources when multiple pedestrians are at risk of approaching, often leading to redundant transmissions and potential failures in delivering warnings.
Innovation Solution
A warning control apparatus that groups pedestrians based on position and movement direction, determining risk levels for each group and selectively transmitting warning information to reduce communication load and ensure effective delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If warning information is transmitted to each pedestrian individually, then each pedestrian receives a warning, but communication resource usage increases and redundant transmissions occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent groups multiple pedestrians into pedestrian groups based on their positions and movement characteristics. Instead of transmitting separate warning information to each pedestrian, the system transmits a single warning message to each group, thereby reducing communication resource usage while ensuring that all pedestrians in the group receive the warning effectively.
2Reliability
If warning information is transmitted frequently to ensure delivery, then warning delivery reliability improves, but communication load increases and may cause transmission failures
Solution Approach 1:
By consolidating multiple pedestrians into groups and transmitting a single warning message per group, the system reduces the total number of transmissions required. This approach maintains reliable warning delivery to all pedestrians while decreasing communication load and avoiding transmission failures that would result from excessive individual transmissions.
3Measurement precision
If pedestrian positions are monitored individually, then precise position information is obtained, but processing complexity and communication load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains precise position information for each pedestrian but processes this data by grouping pedestrians based on their positions and movement directions. This approach preserves measurement precision while reducing processing complexity by treating grouped pedestrians as a single unit for warning transmission purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments pedestrians into distinct groups based on their spatial positions and movement characteristics. This segmentation allows the system to process and manage large numbers of pedestrians more efficiently by handling groups rather than individuals, thereby reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining necessary precision.
