Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack dynamic and transparent methods for tolling and congestion management across roadways, seaways, and airways, limiting the flexibility and efficiency of trading tolling capacity units, and failing to account for contingencies and legal transformations.

Innovation Solution

Implementing price-time priority queues for tolling over roadway, seaway, or airway capacity units, which involve receiving location data, generating routes, determining virtual hubs, and optimizing routes based on cost and market data to select the most efficient path for tolling and congestion management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional tolling and congestion management systems are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but flexibility and efficiency of trading tolling capacity units are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility of trading tolling capacity unitsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments tolling capacity into discrete tradable units that can be independently bought and sold. Tolling capacity units are divided into specific time intervals and geographic zones, allowing flexible trading of individual capacity segments rather than managing tolling as a monolithic system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic pricing and capacity allocation through real-time market mechanisms. Tolling capacity prices and availability adjust dynamically based on supply and demand, enabling flexible trading responses to changing congestion conditions and market conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If dynamic routing optimization is implemented, then efficiency of tolling capacity utilization is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of tolling capacity utilizationVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-calculates and stores optimal routes and tolling capacity requirements before market transactions occur. Routing algorithms generate predetermined efficient paths through the tolling network, and these pre-computed routes are stored for rapid retrieval and execution during market operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where market transaction data and actual traffic flow information are fed back into the routing optimization algorithms. This feedback enables the system to learn from actual performance and continuously improve route efficiency while adapting to changing conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
