Remote Driving Management Center Equipment Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote driving systems lack a straightforward method for a remote driver to easily understand the correspondence between the equipment of a remotely driven vehicle and a remotely driving apparatus, making it difficult to effectively manipulate the vehicle.
Innovation Solution
A remote driving management center that compares equipment information between the remotely driven vehicle and the remotely driving apparatus, displaying the correspondence to the remote driver, allowing them to associate and manipulate the appropriate equipment for remote driving.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If remote driving systems are implemented without equipment correspondence display, then system complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates as remote drivers cannot easily understand the correspondence between vehicle equipment and controlling apparatus equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a remote driving management center as an intermediary system that receives equipment information from both the remotely driven vehicle and the remotely driving apparatus, compares these informations, and displays the correspondence to the remote driver. This mediator enables easy operation by providing equipment mapping without requiring direct complex integration between the vehicle and controlling apparatus.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the remote driving functionality into distinct modular components: the remotely driven vehicle, the remotely driving apparatus, and the remote driving management center. Each component independently manages its own equipment information, and the management center handles the comparison and display functions, reducing overall system complexity while improving ease of operation.
2Ease of operation
If equipment correspondence information is displayed to remote drivers, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for comparison and management systems
Solution Approach 1:
The remote driving management center serves multiple functions: it receives equipment information from the vehicle, receives equipment information from the controlling apparatus, compares these informations to establish correspondence, and displays the results to the remote driver. This multi-functional approach consolidates complexity into a single universal system rather than distributing it across multiple specialized systems.
3Measurement precision
If equipment information comparison is performed, then accuracy of equipment manipulation is improved, but loss of time increases due to the comparison process
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs equipment information comparison in advance before the remote driver needs to manipulate the vehicle equipment. The remote driving management center pre-establishes the correspondence between vehicle equipment and controlling apparatus equipment, so that when the driver needs to operate a function, the mapping is already prepared and displayed, eliminating time loss during actual operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides continuous feedback to the remote driver by displaying the established equipment correspondence information. This feedback mechanism allows the driver to understand which controlling apparatus equipment corresponds to which vehicle equipment, improving accuracy of manipulation without requiring real-time comparison during operation.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus is provided. The information processing apparatus includes: an equipment information acquiring unit that acquires first equipment information indicating equipment of a remotely driven vehicle which is to be remotely driven; an equipment information comparing unit that compares the first equipment information with second equipment information indicating equipment of a remotely driving apparatus that is to remotely drive the remotely driven vehicle; and a display control unit that causes information based on a result of the comparison by the equipment information comparing unit to be displayed.
