Server-Client Traffic Information Exchange for Real-Time Route Planning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current intelligent traffic systems, such as GPS terminals, fail to provide real-time traffic information like ground vehicle conditions and maintaining conditions, especially under adverse weather conditions, leading to low reminding efficiency for drivers.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a server obtains and stores traffic information from a road network, allowing client devices to request or receive this information, enabling the presentation of ground vehicle traffic conditions and maintaining conditions in real-time, improving reminding efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If GPS terminal is used to determine route, then route planning capability is improved, but real-time traffic information provision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the GPS terminal and the user. The server collects real-time traffic information from multiple sources, processes it, and provides comprehensive route recommendations that incorporate both GPS location data and current traffic conditions, thereby resolving the information loss problem while maintaining route planning capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges GPS positioning functionality with real-time traffic information provision by integrating multiple data sources (GPS terminals, road sensors, broadcast systems) into a unified server-based system that provides comprehensive route information, eliminating the limitation of GPS alone
2Ease of operation
If on-board broadcast is used for traffic information, then information delivery is simplified, but reminding efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the server monitors user behavior (route selections, stopping patterns) and uses this feedback to optimize broadcast timing and content delivery, thereby improving reminding efficiency while maintaining the simplicity of broadcast-based information delivery
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the broadcast system dynamic by adjusting broadcast parameters (timing, frequency, content) based on real-time traffic conditions and user behavior patterns, transforming the static broadcast system into an adaptive one that improves reminding efficiency without complicating the delivery mechanism
3Measurement precision
If GPS terminal operation is used, then location-based routing is improved, but performance under adverse weather deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal traffic information system that serves multiple functions: GPS-based location routing, real-time traffic monitoring, adverse weather detection, and alternative route recommendation. The server processes various data types (GPS signals, sensor data, weather information) through a unified architecture, maintaining reliability across different weather conditions while preserving location-based routing precision
Data Source
AI summary
A method for prompting traffic condition information, comprising: a server obtaining traffic condition information about a road network (101); a client determining a candidate driving route and sending to the server a traffic condition information request aiming at the candidate driving route, and the server receiving the traffic condition information request, extracting traffic condition information about the candidate driving route from the traffic condition information about the road network, and sending to the client the traffic condition information about the candidate driving route; alternatively, the server actively sending to the client the traffic condition information about the road network (102); and the client displaying the traffic condition information provided by the server (103). The method can prompt traffic condition information in time, thereby improving the reminding efficiency; it can also be applied in various terminal devices, and can be used across platform terminals, thereby having a wide scope of application.
