Shared Vehicle Allocation With Centralized Access Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current shared vehicle systems do not effectively cater to individual user preferences and face challenges in providing vehicle security and related services, as they are not viewed as highly as private vehicles, leading to inadequate management and utilization of shared vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A fleet system that manages moving objects through user devices and servers, allowing users to request and reserve vehicles, update allocation and placement information, and provide recommendations for alternative locations or routes, while also enabling driverless movement and maintenance management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If shared vehicle systems are implemented to reduce ownership costs, then vehicle accessibility and sharing utilization improve, but vehicle security and management control deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a fleet manager as an intermediary between vehicle owners and users. The fleet manager receives authentication information from users, verifies it against stored authentication data, and controls vehicle operation rights accordingly. This intermediary layer enables shared vehicle accessibility while maintaining security through centralized authentication management.
2Reliability
If centralized fleet management systems are implemented to improve security, then vehicle control and management reliability improve, but system complexity and operational overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The fleet manager serves multiple functions within a single system: storing authentication information, verifying user credentials, controlling vehicle operation rights, and managing fleet-wide security policies. By consolidating these diverse functions into one multi-functional component, the system achieves reliable centralized management without proportionally increasing complexity.
3Reliability
If authentication systems are added to shared vehicles to improve security, then vehicle access control improves, but ease of operation and user convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication system provides immediate feedback to users through the fleet manager. When a user presents authentication information, the fleet manager verifies it against stored data and either grants or denies vehicle operation rights without delay. This real-time feedback mechanism maintains security while preserving user convenience by eliminating manual verification steps.

AI summary
A method of managing a moving object in a fleet system includes: transmitting, by a user device, a moving object request message including a departure point and use time information to a server; receiving, by the user device, a list of available moving objects based on the moving object request message from the server: selecting, by the user device, a moving object from the list of available moving objects; transmitting, by the user device, reservation information based on the moving object selection information and the use time information to the server; and allocating the moving object to the user device based on the reservation information. The server may update allocation and placement information of a plurality of moving objects based on reservation information of a plurality of user devices.
