Platooning Management System for Vehicle Fleet Organization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing platooning management systems lack the ability to efficiently designate a suitable platoon for platooning travel among vehicles with varying driving support levels and conditions, such as the presence of vehicles with and without drivers, and different stopping positions, making it difficult to organize a suitable platoon for electronic connection.
Innovation Solution
A platooning management system that includes a processor and memory to execute a program for organizing platoons, featuring a list presentation process, acceptance process, determination process, and output process, which presents information on vehicle conditions, accepts platoon candidate designations, determines suitability based on perimeter monitoring range and stop position information, and outputs determination results, allowing for visual confirmation and optimal platoon organization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If vehicles with different driving support levels and conditions are mixed in the target vehicles, then the system can organize platoons from a diverse fleet, but it becomes difficult to easily inform the designating person of the vehicle conditions and determine suitable platoon organization
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a visual representation (list display) of vehicle information as a copy of the actual vehicle conditions. This list presentation process displays summarized vehicle data (driving support level, stop position, etc.) in an organized format, allowing the designating person to easily perceive vehicle conditions without directly interacting with complex vehicle systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The list presentation process acts as an intermediary between the complex vehicle data and the designating person. It translates detailed vehicle conditions into an organized, easily interpretable list format, serving as a mediator that bridges the gap between system complexity and user understanding.
2Measurement precision
If the system presents detailed vehicle information to the designating person, then the designating person can make informed decisions about platoon organization, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments vehicle information into distinct, organized categories in the list presentation. Instead of presenting a monolithic block of data, it divides information into separate fields (vehicle identifier, driving support level, stop position, etc.), making the interface more manageable while maintaining comprehensive information for accurate platoon suitability determination.

AI summary
The platooning management system organizes a platoon for performing platooning by electronically connecting vehicle-to-vehicle of a plurality of vehicles. The system is configured to include a list presentation process for presenting a list including information of active vehicles corresponding to platooning travel by electronic connection among target vehicles stopped in a target area, an acceptance process for accepting designated platoon candidate vehicles and their platoon order for platooning travel from among active vehicles, a determination process for determining suitability of a designated platoon organized according to the platoon candidate vehicle and the platoon order to the platooning travel, and an output process for outputting a determination result determined by the determination process.
