Shared Vehicle Route Guidance Timing Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In car sharing systems, users often feel uncomfortable when route guidance to the return location is provided prematurely, especially when they take a detour or return to the same location where they started, as this unnecessary information is displayed at inappropriate times.
Innovation Solution
A shared vehicle management system that detects the user's intention to return the vehicle using various criteria such as distance, travel direction, and use history, and triggers route guidance only when the user is likely to return, ensuring the route is displayed at appropriate timing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If route guidance to return space is provided automatically after vehicle rental, then users receive complete navigation information, but users feel uncomfortable when taking detours or returning to the same location
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts route guidance based on real-time detection of user return intentions. When the vehicle returns to the departure location or travel distance falls below a threshold, the system automatically suspends route guidance to the return space, adapting the information provision to the user's actual needs and avoiding unnecessary guidance during detours.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors travel distance and vehicle position to detect user return intentions. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adjust route guidance provision based on actual travel patterns, suspending guidance when the vehicle returns to the departure location or when travel distance is insufficient to indicate a genuine return need.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If route guidance is suspended when vehicle returns to departure location, then user discomfort is reduced, but route guidance may not be provided when needed
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts route guidance based on real-time detection of user return intentions. When the vehicle returns to the departure location or travel distance falls below a threshold, the system automatically suspends route guidance to the return space, adapting the information provision to the user's actual needs and avoiding unnecessary guidance during detours.

AI summary
A shared vehicle management apparatus for managing shared vehicles shared by users includes a first storage configured to store information on a plurality of stations at which the shared vehicles can be rented and returned, a reservation acceptance device configured to accept a use reservation of a shared vehicle from a user, the use reservation including information on a departure station and an arrival station, the departure station being set by the user as a station from which the user expects to use the shared vehicle, and the arrival station being set by the user as a station to which the user returns the shared vehicle after use, a return occasion detector configured to detect a return start occasion on which the user using the shared vehicle returns the shared vehicle, and a route guidance device.
