Solution Overview
Problem
Current autonomous driving systems face safety concerns and user inconvenience due to driver intervention during remote control, as well as challenges in managing vehicle flow and zones, especially when drivers are prohibited from operating the vehicle during autonomous driving.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for remotely controlling a vehicle that identifies autonomous driving authority information and blocks user operations while allowing discretionary control for specific electronic elements, ensuring the vehicle follows a set path within an autonomous driving region, thereby enhancing safety and user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If driver operation is absolutely prohibited during autonomous driving, then safety is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the vehicle control system into multiple independent control modules (accelerator control, steering control, brake control, electronic device control) with different authority levels. This allows selective blocking of critical driving functions while permitting non-critical operations, resolving the contradiction between safety and user convenience by enabling differentiated control permissions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements location-based authority management where the autonomous driving authority information varies according to the vehicle's position within the autonomous driving region. Different zones can have different levels of permitted user operation, allowing safety-critical areas to restrict operations while permitting operations in safer zones, thus balancing safety requirements with user convenience.
2Ease of operation
If driver operation is allowed during autonomous driving, then user convenience is improved, but safety deteriorates due to possible collision accidents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the level of user operation permission based on real-time conditions including vehicle location within the autonomous driving region and current driving state. The authority information is not fixed but can be modified according to environmental factors and operational context, allowing the system to permit operations when safe and restrict them when hazardous conditions exist.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors vehicle operations and environmental conditions, using this feedback to adjust authority permissions in real-time. The remote server receives vehicle state information and updates authority information accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to changing conditions to maintain safety while enabling convenient operation.
3Reliability
If autonomous driving is fixed to predetermined speed and direction, then safety is improved, but manager control capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces fixed predetermined paths with dynamic trajectory generation based on real-time environmental perception and manager authority information. The vehicle can adapt its speed and direction according to actual road conditions, traffic situations, and manager-defined constraints, providing both safety through controlled operation and versatility through adaptive routing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows manager-defined parameter ranges for speed, direction, and other operational variables rather than fixed values. This enables managers to specify acceptable operational envelopes that balance safety requirements with operational flexibility, allowing the vehicle to vary parameters within authorized ranges to adapt to different situations.
