Parking Device Fault Reporting for Shareable Vehicles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Low quality manufacturing and irresponsible use of shareable vehicles, such as bicycles and electric cars, lead to damages like QR code, lock, and seat damage, resulting in abandoned vehicles that harm the urban environment and hinder recycling.
Innovation Solution
A parking device equipped with a recognition system that acquires identification codes from shareable vehicles, collects fault information, and communicates with a server to facilitate repair by connecting the vehicle's identification device to a recognition chip, which reads binary codes to determine the vehicle's company and model codes, enabling efficient reporting and repair.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If shareable vehicles are parked in centralized parking devices with fault reporting, then the number of faulty vehicles is reduced and urban environment is maintained, but the device complexity increases due to recognition systems and communication modules
Solution Approach 1:
The parking device integrates multiple functions including vehicle recognition, fault collection, communication with servers, and centralized parking management into a single system. The recognition chip reads identification codes from various vehicle types, and the system handles different fault reports through a unified processing architecture, reducing overall system complexity despite added capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a server as an intermediary between the parking device and the fault management system. The parking device collects fault information and transmits it to the server, which processes and manages the faults centrally. This intermediary approach simplifies the parking device structure while enabling comprehensive fault management.
2Productivity
If recognition systems are used to identify vehicles and collect fault information, then fault reporting efficiency is improved, but the manufacturing cost of the parking device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses identification codes and binary codes as digital representations of vehicle information. The recognition chip reads these codes to identify vehicle models and companies, eliminating the need for complex physical identification systems. This digital copying approach improves efficiency while keeping manufacturing costs manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The parking device automatically collects fault information from users through mobile terminals without requiring manual intervention or complex processing. The system self-manages the fault collection and transmission process, improving efficiency while minimizing the need for expensive manual management systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If centralized parking and fault reporting are implemented, then vehicle recycling is facilitated and urban environment is protected, but the operation complexity increases due to system integration requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a feedback loop where fault information is collected from users, transmitted to the server, and processed to generate repair instructions. This feedback mechanism enables automated fault management and facilitates vehicle recycling while simplifying user operation through automatic information processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares and transmits fault information to the server in advance, enabling pre-processing and planning for vehicle repairs and recycling. This preliminary action simplifies subsequent operations and facilitates efficient vehicle recycling by having all necessary information ready before repair processes begin.

AI summary
A method for reporting fault information of a shareable vehicle to a server includes controlling a recognition device to connect with an identification device of the shareable vehicle, and obtain an identification code from the identification device. Information as to the location of the parking device is acquired from a GPS device, and the fault information of the shareable vehicle is received from a mobile terminal after establishing communication with the mobile terminal. The identification code and fault information of the shareable vehicle, and the location of the parking device are uploaded to the server, to give an operating company or owner of the vehicle an opportunity to repair.
