Remote Measurement Vehicle Control via Base Station
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile mapping systems require an operator to manually control measurement systems, prohibiting operation during vehicle movement for safety reasons, which limits their operational efficiency and increases costs.
Innovation Solution
A measurement vehicle equipped with a data notification unit, remote instruction acceptance unit, and vehicle-mounted control unit allows for remote operation of the measurement system, enabling control of the system while driving without an operator on board.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an operator manually controls the measurement system in the vehicle, then the measurement system can be operated, but traffic safety is compromised and operational efficiency is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a remote control system as an intermediary between the operator and the measurement system. The operator controls the measurement system remotely via a base station, eliminating the need for manual operation inside the vehicle while maintaining full control capability. This mediator approach resolves the contradiction by enabling safe remote operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual control system with an electronic remote control system. Instead of physical manual operation of measurement instruments, the system uses electronic signals transmitted between the vehicle and base station to control measurement functions, thereby enabling operation without compromising safety.
2Reliability
If a driver and operator pair works in the measurement vehicle, then the measurement system can be operated safely, but measurement costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the measurement system to be operated autonomously with remote control. The driver can control the measurement system remotely without needing a separate operator inside the vehicle, making the system self-sufficient and reducing personnel requirements while maintaining safe operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote control system acts as an intermediary that allows the driver to perform operator functions remotely. This eliminates the need for a second person in the vehicle, reducing labor costs while maintaining operational safety through the remote control mechanism.
3Productivity
If the driver operates the measurement system while driving, then operational efficiency improves, but traffic safety is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a remote control system as an intermediary that allows the driver to control the measurement system without physically manipulating controls while driving. The driver can operate the system remotely through the base station, maintaining both safety and operational efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical control inside the vehicle with electronic remote control. This substitution allows the driver to operate the measurement system efficiently while keeping hands on the steering wheel, thereby maintaining traffic safety without sacrificing productivity.
