Ride-Sharing Route Deviation Warning System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users experience anxiety when using ride-sharing services due to uncertainty about the vehicle deviating from the scheduled route, which can compromise safety and lead to hesitation in using such services.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that determines a scheduled traveling route for multiple users sharing a vehicle and transmits warning information to both the driving user and fellow users if the vehicle deviates from this route, allowing users to agree on route changes and resetting the scheduled route accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If ride-sharing services allow multiple users to share the same vehicle, then transportation efficiency and cost savings are improved, but user anxiety increases due to uncertainty about route deviations
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the vehicle's actual route and compares it against the scheduled route, providing real-time feedback to all users through warning notifications when deviations are detected. This feedback mechanism reassures users that route deviations are monitored and communicated, reducing their anxiety while maintaining the efficiency benefits of ride-sharing.
2Reliability
If the system monitors vehicle route continuously, then safety and user peace of mind are improved, but system complexity and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-calculates and stores the scheduled route before the trip begins, establishing the expected path in advance. During the trip, the system only needs to compare the actual route against this pre-established schedule, rather than performing complex real-time route optimization, thereby reducing computational complexity while maintaining continuous safety monitoring.
3Reliability
If the system sends warning notifications to all users when route deviation is detected, then user awareness and safety are improved, but information overload and user inconvenience increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the route monitoring function with the existing ride-sharing communication platform, consolidating route deviation warnings with other ride-sharing information notifications. This unified notification approach ensures users receive route deviation alerts without creating separate information channels, thereby maintaining user awareness while minimizing information overload and inconvenience.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus of the present disclosure in a mode in which a plurality of users share the same vehicle sets, when determining a combination of a driving user and fellow users, a scheduled traveling route which is a scheduled route along which the vehicle travels from a getting-in spot to a getting-off spot of each of the fellow users. Upon detecting that the vehicle is traveling off a scheduled traveling route while the fellow users are in the vehicle, the information processing apparatus transmits warning information which is information warning a first user terminal of the driving user and a second user terminal of the fellow user that the vehicle is traveling off the scheduled traveling route.
