Remote Driving Equipment State Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote driving systems often experience malfunctions due to mismatches in the equipment states of the remotely driving apparatus and the remotely driven vehicle, leading to ineffective remote driving operations.
Innovation Solution
A remote driving management center that includes a managing apparatus that synchronizes the equipment states of the remotely driving apparatus with those of the remotely driven vehicle before initiating remote driving, using a network to communicate and control the vehicles, and provides warnings if mismatches are detected.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If remote driving is initiated without checking equipment state matching, then remote driving operations can start quickly, but malfunctions occur due to state mismatches between the remotely driving apparatus and the remotely driven vehicle
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs equipment state synchronization before initiating remote driving operations. The managing apparatus compares the equipment states of the remotely driving apparatus and the remotely driven vehicle in advance, and only permits remote driving when the states match, preventing malfunctions before they occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors and compares equipment states between the remotely driving apparatus and the remotely driven vehicle. When a state mismatch is detected, the system provides feedback by prohibiting remote driving initiation until the states are synchronized, ensuring operational reliability.
2Reliability
If equipment state synchronization is performed before remote driving, then operational reliability is improved, but the system complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs equipment state synchronization before initiating remote driving operations. The managing apparatus compares the equipment states of the remotely driving apparatus and the remotely driven vehicle in advance, and only permits remote driving when the states match, preventing malfunctions before they occur.
3Reliability
If equipment state matching is enforced, then operational errors are prevented, but the ease of operation is reduced due to additional synchronization requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs equipment state synchronization and comparison without requiring manual intervention from the operator. The managing apparatus autonomously determines whether the equipment states match and either permits or prohibits remote driving initiation based on the comparison result, simplifying the operator's task while ensuring reliability.
