Ride-Sharing Route Modification Interface for Dynamic Stoppage Points
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users accustomed to conventional shuttle bus services find ride-sharing services with dynamically determined travel routes inconvenient due to the complexity of procedures.
Innovation Solution
A program and information processing method that allows users to interact with a server managing a ride-sharing vehicle's travel plan, enabling them to designate stoppage points and request modifications to the route through a user-friendly interface on a screen, allowing onboarding or disembarking at specified points.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a travel route is determined dynamically based on user boarding reservations in ride-sharing services, then the service can accommodate flexible user needs and improve adaptability, but the procedure becomes complicated and reduces ease of operation for users accustomed to conventional shuttle bus services
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the travel route by collecting boarding reservations from multiple users and processing them through the server, eliminating the need for users to manually plan or negotiate routes. The service self-adjusts based on aggregated user inputs, maintaining simplicity for users while achieving dynamic adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The server continuously receives boarding reservation information from users and dynamically adjusts the travel route based on this feedback. The system processes user inputs, determines optimal routes considering multiple users' needs, and communicates the determined route back to users, creating a closed-loop system that balances flexibility with operational simplicity.
2Productivity
If multiple users make boarding reservations for different locations, then the service can serve more users and destinations, but the complexity of determining an optimal travel route that satisfies all users increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the route determination process into distinct functional modules: receiving boarding reservations from multiple users, processing the collected information to identify common patterns and constraints, and generating an optimized travel route that satisfies aggregated user needs. This modular approach manages complexity while serving multiple users.
Solution Approach 2:
The server implements a universal route determination mechanism that handles various user inputs and destination combinations through a single integrated process. The system is designed to process any number of user reservations and generate appropriate routes, making the complexity management scalable and applicable to different service scenarios.

AI summary
A program causes an information processing device communicable with a server to execute steps of: displaying stoppage points of the specific vehicle and at least part of a travel route passing through the stoppage points; transmitting the server a first request to modify the travel plan so that a user of the information processing device gets on the specific vehicle or gets off the specific vehicle at the stoppage point when the stoppage point is designated by a user operation; and transmitting the server a second request to modify the travel plan so that the specific vehicle goes by way of the designated point as an additional stoppage point and the user gets on the specific vehicle or gets off the specific vehicle at the additional stoppage point when the point other than the stoppage points is designated by the user operation.
