Remote Vehicle Control Resource Switching for Mismatched Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle control systems struggle with remote operation when there are variations in resources available for remote operation between the control center and the vehicle, such as different service providers or vehicle types, leading to potential failures in vehicle control.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control device that includes a memory to store alternative resource information and processing circuitry to compare resource lists from the control center and the vehicle, switching to alternative resources when mismatches are detected, ensuring continuous remote operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a uniform system configuration is used for control center and vehicle, then system simplicity is maintained, but remote operation fails when resource variations occur between different service providers or vehicle types
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts resource configurations based on actual variations between control center and vehicle. Instead of using a fixed uniform configuration, the system allows resource lists to be flexibly adjusted and matched according to specific service providers and vehicle types, enabling remote operation to succeed despite resource variations.
Solution Approach 2:
The resource configuration is segmented into separate lists: a first resource list for the control center and a second resource list for the vehicle. This segmentation allows each side to have its own specific resource definitions, and the system processes these segments independently before performing matching and switching operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If resource lists are strictly matched between control center and vehicle, then resource compatibility is ensured, but remote operation fails when equipment differences or failures occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares alternative resources in advance within the second resource list of the vehicle. When a resource mismatch or failure is detected during operation, the system can immediately switch to pre-prepared alternative resources, ensuring continuous operation without interruption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the resource configuration parameters by switching from a primary resource to an alternative resource when mismatches are detected. This parameter change allows the system to adapt to different equipment configurations, service provider variations, or failure conditions while maintaining operational reliability.

AI summary
A resource comparison unit compares a resource list to be used by a control center to remotely operate a remotely driven vehicle with a resource list to be used by a vehicle control unit to control the remotely driven vehicle in accordance with the remote operation from the control center. An alternative resource storage unit stores information on an alternative resource for a resource of the remotely driven vehicle. A resource switching unit switches a resource which is not a commonality and is detected by the resource comparison unit to an alternative resource stored in the alternative resource storage unit.
