Remote Operator Selection for Vehicle Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle control systems for remote operation do not account for individual preferences of vehicle occupants, leading to potential discomfort when vehicles are operated remotely, as they only focus on remote control and not tailored operation.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control system that includes a remote operator selection server and vehicle control device capable of switching between autonomous, remote, and manual driving modes, which acquires and compares manual operation information from occupants with remote operation information from multiple operators to select a remote operator whose style matches the occupant's preferences, ensuring comfortable remote operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If remote operation is implemented without considering individual preferences, then remote driving capability is achieved, but occupant comfort and satisfaction deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts the remote operation experience by selecting operators whose driving styles match the occupant's preferences. The matching criterion changes based on individual occupant characteristics, making the remote driving system flexible and adaptable rather than static and uniform.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of operator selection based on occupant preference data. By comparing driving style parameters between occupants and potential remote operators, the system selects the operator whose parameters best match the occupant's preferences, thereby improving comfort.
2Ease of operation
If multiple remote operators are evaluated and selected based on preference matching, then occupant comfort is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a virtual model or copy of the occupant's driving style preferences and uses this copy to evaluate and select remote operators. This copying approach simplifies the matching process by comparing standardized data representations rather than complex behavioral patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that handles the complex matching calculations between occupant preferences and operator styles. This intermediary absorbs the computational complexity, keeping the occupant's interaction simple while still achieving sophisticated preference-based selection.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual operation information is collected and processed to match with remote operators, then personalized remote operation is achieved, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential driving style parameters from the complete manual operation information, rather than processing all available data. This extraction focuses on the most relevant characteristics for matching, reducing the volume of information that needs to be processed while maintaining personalization effectiveness.

AI summary
A vehicle control system, comprising a remote operator selection server, a vehicle control device, and a remote operation terminal. The vehicle control device is configured to transmit a manual operation information to the remote operator selection server. The remote operator selection server is configured to acquire the manual operation information transmitted from the vehicle control device, to compute a difference between the manual operation information and a remote operation information for each of the plurality of remote operators, to select a remote operator for whom the difference satisfies a predetermined criterion as a remote operator to remotely operate the vehicle.
