Remote Driving Assistance Control for Collision-Avoiding Moving Objects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Remote-controlled moving objects often deviate from target routes or collide with surrounding objects due to operator errors, necessitating travel assistance to prevent such incidents.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that generates automatic control commands to override manual control commands when detecting an assistance-required state, ensuring the moving object travels safely without operator intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If remote manual control is used to operate the moving object, then the operator can control the moving object from a different location, but the moving object may deviate from the target route or collide with surrounding objects due to operator errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the moving object's position and surrounding environment, comparing actual travel path with the target route. When deviation or collision risk is detected, the system provides feedback by automatically generating correction commands to steer the moving object back on course or avoid obstacles, thereby maintaining safety during remote operation
Solution Approach 2:
An automatic control system acts as an intermediary between the operator and the moving object. This intermediary monitors operator commands and automatically intervenes by generating correction commands when safety issues are detected, serving as a safety layer that filters and adjusts control inputs to prevent harmful actions
2Reliability
If automatic control commands are generated to correct undesired traveling, then the moving object can be prevented from deviating or colliding, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a monitoring unit that detects position and obstacles, a decision unit that determines whether correction is needed, and an execution unit that generates correction commands. This modular segmentation reduces overall system complexity by making each component's function clear and manageable
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates self-correction capability where the moving object automatically detects and corrects its own deviations without continuous external intervention. The automatic control system monitors itself and autonomously generates correction commands, reducing the need for complex external control infrastructure

AI summary
The information processing device includes: a manual command generation unit that generates a manual control command that defines a traveling motion of the moving object in response to an operation by an operator of the operator input device; an information acquisition unit that acquires detection information generated when the control of the remote manual driving mode in which the moving object travels in accordance with the manual control command is performed by the moving object in a period in which the moving object is detected to be in an assistance required state in which the travel assistance is required; an automatic command generation unit that generates an automatic control command for traveling the moving object without using the manual control command; and a transmission unit that sends at least the automatic control command to the moving object when the information acquisition unit acquires the detection information.
