Substitute Parking Management System Path Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of substitute parking services are concerned about fuel or energy waste when the path taken by a substitute driver to a parking lot is unclear, leading to hesitation in using or repeating the service.
Innovation Solution
A management system that generates and transmits path information from a delivery location to a parking lot to a user's terminal, ensuring the user is informed about the route taken by the substitute driver, thereby reducing fuel waste and providing reassurance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If path information is not provided to the service user, then the substitute driver can operate autonomously without real-time user input, but the service user loses confidence due to uncertainty about fuel efficiency and routing
Solution Approach 1:
The management system transmits path information from the substitute driver's terminal to the service user's terminal, providing real-time feedback about the route being taken. This feedback mechanism includes delivering path information such as route details, distance, and estimated fuel consumption, which restores user confidence by making the substitute driver's actions transparent and verifiable.
2Loss of energy
If the substitute driver takes an arbitrary path to the parking lot, then the driver has operational freedom, but fuel consumption increases and energy is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The management system determines an optimal path from the delivery location to the parking lot before the substitute driver begins the journey. This predetermined path information, including route details and fuel efficiency considerations, is provided to the substitute driver in advance, guiding them to take the most efficient route and minimizing fuel consumption while maintaining operational feasibility.
3Loss of information
If the service user is informed of the detailed path, then transparency and confidence are improved, but the system complexity and information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The management system acts as an intermediary between the substitute driver's terminal and the service user's terminal. It receives path information from the driver's terminal, processes and formats it into user-friendly representations, and transmits it to the user's terminal. This intermediary role simplifies the information exchange process and reduces system complexity by centralizing the information management function.

AI summary
A management system that manages substitute parking service in which a substitute driver parks a vehicle of a service user, in place of the service user, includes a processor configured to generate path information indicating a path from a delivery location of the vehicle to a parking lot in which the vehicle is allowed to be parked, based on information indicating the delivery location, and information indicating a position of the parking lot, and the processor being configured to transmit the path information to a terminal of the service user.
