Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current techniques fail to effectively identify and mitigate high-risk driving behaviors and areas due to the lack of apparent, observable, or quantifiable environmental and driving factors, leading to unnoticed risk factors and inadequate safety improvements.
Innovation Solution
The described computer-implemented methods synchronize data from vehicle sensors and infrastructure devices to provide contextualized analysis of road segment events, enabling enhanced risk prediction and visualization through machine learning models and graphical user interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional techniques are used to analyze driving risk, then the analysis process is simple, but the ability to identify and quantify environmental and driving factors is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple data sources including vehicle sensors, infrastructure devices, and environmental sensors into a unified data collection system. This merging of previously separate systems enables comprehensive risk factor identification and quantification that conventional single-source systems cannot achieve.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed to collect and process multiple types of data (vehicle telematics, infrastructure data, environmental conditions) through a unified platform that can analyze various risk factors across different driving scenarios. This multi-functional approach allows the same system to handle diverse risk assessment requirements.
2Loss of information
If data from multiple sources is collected to improve risk analysis, then the comprehensiveness of risk identification improves, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a central server or cloud platform as an intermediary that receives, synchronizes, and integrates data from multiple distributed sources including vehicle sensors and infrastructure devices. This intermediary layer manages the complexity of data integration while providing comprehensive risk factor information to analysis systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where collected data is continuously analyzed and used to refine risk assessments. The synchronization and integration processes are optimized based on feedback from data quality metrics and analysis results, improving the system's ability to handle multi-source data over time.
3Measurement precision
If detailed contextualized analysis is performed on driving events, then the accuracy of risk identification improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary processing and filtering of data from multiple sources before detailed analysis. Data is pre-synchronized, pre-validated, and pre-organized into relevant categories, which reduces the computational burden during actual risk assessment and speeds up processing time while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The analysis process is divided into segments: initial data collection and synchronization, preliminary filtering and validation, detailed contextualized analysis, and final risk assessment. This segmentation allows computationally intensive detailed analysis to be performed only on relevant, pre-processed data subsets, reducing overall processing time.
