Road Right Request System for Automated Lane Changes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Novice drivers face difficulties in performing lane changes during traffic congestion, leading to increased congestion and accidents due to their lack of experienced driving skills.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for requesting a road right, which involves determining if a road section is congested, screening nearby vehicles based on lane change direction and positioning information, establishing a communication connection with a selected vehicle, and performing a lane change when the vehicle agrees to a road right occupation request, with features including voice and text requests, payment processing, and rating systems to ensure secure and orderly lane changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If novice drivers perform blind lane changes during traffic congestion, then they may achieve lane change, but traffic congestion increases and accidents occur more frequently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a road rights management system as an intermediary between lane change requesters and affected vehicles. This system mediates lane change requests by screening requested vehicles, establishing communication connections, and coordinating lane change operations, thereby enabling safe lane changes during congestion without direct driver-to-driver interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by screening requested vehicles before lane change execution. It identifies vehicles in the target lane, evaluates their states, and prepares communication connections in advance, allowing lane changes to proceed smoothly without last-minute conflicts or unsafe maneuvers.
2Ease of operation
If owners of motor vehicles forcibly change lanes during congestion, then they may achieve lane change, but scraping accidents occur frequently
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by establishing communication connections with requested vehicles and receiving their responses before executing lane changes. This feedback loop ensures that lane changes only proceed when affected vehicles are aware and have responded, preventing forced lane changes that could lead to scraping accidents.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by screening and identifying requested vehicles before lane change execution. It proactively prevents potential conflicts by ensuring that no vehicle is forced to yield without prior notice or opportunity to respond, thereby eliminating the conditions that lead to scraping accidents.
3Reliability
If owners of motor vehicles wait in situ during congestion, then traffic safety is maintained, but vehicles in the rear are bogged down
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces dynamics by enabling controlled lane changes during congestion rather than static waiting. It allows vehicles to change lanes dynamically when safe conditions are identified through screening and communication, optimizing road throughput while maintaining safety through coordinated operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by allowing vehicles to autonomously identify safe lane change opportunities through screening and communication with requested vehicles. Each vehicle can independently initiate and execute lane changes when conditions permit, improving overall road efficiency without compromising safety.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a method and device for requesting for a road right. The method for requesting for a road right comprises: judging whether a road section where a road right requesting vehicle is currently located is in a congestion state, and searching and screening requested vehicles within a predetermined range according to a direction for a lane change request and positioning information, to realize automatic searching and screening of the requested vehicles; and further establishing a communication connection with the selected requested vehicle, transmitting a road right occupation request to the selected requested vehicle, and performing a lane change operation when the selected requested vehicle agrees with the road right occupation request.
