Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current autonomous vehicles lack the capability for precise remote control during loading and unloading or riding and alighting, which is essential for efficient logistics operations.
Innovation Solution
A remote autonomous driving control management apparatus that communicates with an autonomous vehicle and a remote control terminal, allowing for precise remote control by authenticating the remote control terminal, transmitting surrounding images, and receiving parking position inputs to perform autonomous parking or stop.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If autonomous vehicle performs automatic parking without remote control, then automation level is improved, but ability to handle loading/unloading scenarios is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between autonomous mode and remote control mode based on the operational scenario. During normal parking, the vehicle operates autonomously, but when loading/unloading is detected or required, it transitions to remote control mode, allowing flexible adaptation to different operational requirements
Solution Approach 2:
A remote control terminal acts as an intermediary between the autonomous vehicle and the operator. This intermediary enables human intervention when needed for loading/unloading operations while maintaining autonomous operation for routine tasks, resolving the contradiction between automation and adaptability
2Device complexity
If autonomous vehicle uses basic autonomous driving functions, then system complexity is reduced, but precision of remote control is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into two distinct parts: a basic autonomous driving control module for routine operations and a remote control module for precise positioning during loading/unloading. This segmentation allows the system to maintain low complexity for everyday use while providing high precision when needed
Solution Approach 2:
The system preliminarily establishes communication channels and control interfaces for remote operation during system setup, but these remain dormant until needed. This allows the basic system to remain simple while having precise remote control capability readily available when loading/unloading scenarios are detected
3Ease of operation
If autonomous vehicle operates without remote control capability, then ease of operation is improved, but response to logistics environment changes is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous vehicle performs self-service for routine parking operations without human intervention, maintaining ease of operation. However, when loading/unloading scenarios are detected, the system automatically activates remote control capability to enable rapid response to logistics environment changes, balancing simplicity with responsiveness
