Remote Vehicle Guidance for Restricted Zone Compliance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods lack an efficient way to control motor vehicles entering or traveling within restricted geographic regions, particularly in areas with emission restrictions, where compliance with specific requirements must be enforced.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the receipt of requirement signals and navigation signals to check if a motor vehicle's route violates restrictions, with remote control signals generated to guide the vehicle laterally or longitudinally to ensure compliance, allowing for assisted, semiautomated, or automated driving.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If remote control signals are generated to control lateral and/or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle, then compliance with restriction requirements is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A remote control device acts as an intermediary between the motor vehicle and the restriction enforcement system. This device receives requirement signals representing restrictions, checks navigation signals against these requirements, and generates remote control signals to guide the vehicle into compliance, thereby resolving the contradiction between ensuring compliance and avoiding direct complex control systems in the vehicle itself
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces direct mechanical control of the vehicle with signal-based remote control. Instead of complex mechanical control systems within the vehicle, a remote device uses communication signals to check requirements and generate guidance signals, substituting mechanical complexity with information processing
2Measurement precision
If the route to be traveled is checked as to whether it violates the at least one requirement, then measurement precision of compliance is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary checking of the route to be traveled against restriction requirements before the vehicle enters the restricted area. By checking the navigation signals in advance and generating appropriate remote control signals beforehand, the system ensures compliance accuracy while minimizing time loss during actual travel
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables rapid compliance checking by processing navigation signals and requirement signals efficiently. The system skips lengthy verification processes by using pre-defined requirement signals and automated checking algorithms, achieving both high measurement precision and reduced time loss

AI summary
A method for controlling a motor vehicle remotely. The method includes: receiving requirement signals, which represent at least one requirement that is in force for a restricted geographic region and must be followed by motor vehicles; receiving navigation signals, which represent a route to be traveled by the motor vehicle; based on the navigation signals, checking if the at least one requirement is being followed by the motor vehicle; the checking including a check as to whether the route to be traveled by the motor vehicle violates the at least one requirement; generating remote control signals for controlling a lateral and/or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle remotely, based on a result of the check as to whether the at least one requirement is being followed by the motor vehicle; outputting the generated remote control signals. A device, a computer program and a machine-readable storage medium, are also described.
