Route Planning System for Emergency Support Facility Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In emergency situations, such as disasters at nuclear power plants or other facilities, existing devices can malfunction, requiring transportable substitutes, but these cannot be quickly moved due to damaged routes, leading to delayed support and potential increased damage.
Innovation Solution
A route planning system that acquires status data of existing routes and generates alternative routes for transportable devices, considering area and route damage, allowing for real-time decision-making and efficient movement of support facilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a basic route is used for transporting support facilities, then the transportation path is simple and clear, but the route may be blocked by damage or obstacles during emergencies
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-calculates and stores multiple alternative routes before emergencies occur. When the basic route is blocked, the system can immediately switch to a pre-planned alternative route, avoiding transportation delays during the emergency response.
Solution Approach 2:
The route planning system dynamically adjusts the transportation path based on real-time route status data. It can switch from the basic route to alternative routes depending on the current emergency conditions, making the route selection flexible and adaptive rather than fixed.
2Reliability
If alternative routes are pre-planned and stored, then route availability during emergencies is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines route status and selects appropriate routes without requiring complex manual intervention. The computer automatically compares alternative routes with the basic route based on stored data, reducing the need for complex decision-making interfaces and manual operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses data copying and comparison of pre-stored route information to make decisions. By copying and analyzing stored route status data, the system can quickly determine the best route without requiring complex real-time calculations, thereby reducing system complexity.
3Measurement precision
If real-time route status data is monitored, then the accuracy of route selection is improved, but the data acquisition and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system monitors route status data selectively rather than comprehensively. It focuses on acquiring essential route status information needed for route selection, avoiding the complexity of processing all possible data types while maintaining sufficient accuracy for emergency response.
4Speed
If support facilities are transported quickly, then the response time to emergencies is reduced, but the risk of encountering blocked routes increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple alternative routes are pre-calculated and stored before emergencies occur. This allows the system to quickly switch to an available alternative route if the basic route is blocked, maintaining fast response times without the risk of encountering blocked paths during the critical response phase.
Data Source
AI summary
To provide a route planning system including a route-status-data acquisition unit that acquires route status data indicating a status of a basic route for moving a support facility from a standby position to a predetermined position in case of emergency of an existing facility, and a generation unit that generates alternative route data indicating an alternative route for moving the support facility to the predetermined position based on the route status data.
