Roadside Function Alerts Triggered by Pedestrian Geofencing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need to improve techniques for monitoring vehicles with communication functions, particularly in ensuring the safety and convenience of pedestrians using roadside devices that provide information to pedestrians about approaching vehicles.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method that involves a server device communicating with terminal devices and roadside devices to transmit instruction information for explaining the function of the roadside device when a terminal device enters a predetermined geographical range, using image and audio outputs to inform pedestrians about the device's functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If notification systems alert pedestrians or vehicles about autonomous vehicle behavior, then safety awareness is improved, but pedestrians may not understand the functions of roadside devices leading to confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by notifying pedestrians in advance about the presence and functions of roadside devices before they may encounter confusion. The notification is delivered proactively when pedestrians are in the vicinity, ensuring they understand device functions before actual interaction or potential safety issues arise.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification system acts as an intermediary between roadside devices and pedestrians. It translates device functions into comprehensible information for pedestrians, bridging the information gap and ensuring proper understanding without requiring pedestrians to directly interpret complex device operations.
2Loss of information
If comprehensive notification systems are deployed to inform pedestrians about roadside device functions, then pedestrian understanding is improved, but system complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential information about roadside device functions that pedestrians need to understand, rather than transmitting all possible device details. This selective information delivery reduces notification complexity while maintaining adequate pedestrian understanding.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification system is designed to automatically deliver relevant information without requiring complex manual configuration or intervention. The system self-manages the notification process by detecting pedestrian presence and automatically providing appropriate function information, reducing operational complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
The information processing method is an information processing method executed by a computer capable of communicating with one or more terminal devices and one or more roadside devices, and includes: acquiring position information of the terminal device; detecting that the terminal device has entered a predetermined geographical range in which the roadside device is installed based on the acquired position information; and transmitting instruction information instructing a function explanation of the roadside device to at least one of the terminal device and the roadside device when the terminal device detects that the terminal device has entered the geographical range.
