Route Search System Load Distribution via Terminal Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional route search systems face increased processing loads as the number of monitored scheduled traveling routes grows, necessitating a method to disperse this load effectively.
Innovation Solution
A route search system that distributes the processing load by having mobile terminals and on-vehicle terminals monitor their respective routes, with the management apparatus re-executing search processes upon reroute requests, thereby reducing the load on the route search apparatus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the route search apparatus monitors all scheduled traveling routes centrally, then route monitoring accuracy is improved, but processing load on the apparatus increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the route monitoring function into two segments: the route search apparatus provides route information and receives reroute requests, while mobile terminals and on-vehicle terminals perform local monitoring of their respective routes. This segmentation reduces the processing load on the central apparatus while maintaining monitoring accuracy through distributed execution.
Solution Approach 2:
Mobile terminals and on-vehicle terminals are equipped with the capability to autonomously monitor their own route conditions, detect deviations, and trigger reroute requests when necessary. This self-service approach eliminates the need for continuous central monitoring while ensuring route accuracy is maintained through local intelligence.
2Manufacturing precision
If the route search apparatus handles all reroute calculations centrally, then route optimization quality is improved, but response time deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The route search apparatus pre-calculates and stores multiple alternative routes in advance. When a reroute request is triggered by local terminals, the apparatus can quickly retrieve and provide pre-prepared alternative routes rather than performing complex calculations in real-time, thus improving response time while maintaining optimization quality.
3Measurement precision
If more route monitoring functions are centralized, then system control precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Mobile terminals and on-vehicle terminals are designed with multi-functionality, serving both as user interfaces and as route monitoring devices. This universal design allows the system to maintain control precision through standardized communication protocols while reducing the complexity of the central apparatus by distributing functional responsibilities.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a route search system including a route search apparatus that communicates with a mobile terminal. The route search apparatus includes: a communication unit that receives, from the mobile terminal, a search request including identification information of a user, and transmits a search result corresponding to the search request to the mobile terminal of the user; and a control unit that executes a search process for a multimodal route that includes at least one of a pedestrian route, a non-public route, and a public route, in accordance with the received search request, and causes the communication unit to transmit the multimodal route as a search result. The control unit causes a passage schedule of the at least one route, and identification information, of traveling means used for traveling along the at least one route, which is associated with the identification information of the user, to be included in a data content of the multimodal route.
