Vehicle Traffic Display Prioritization for Stable Situation Awareness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle display systems often present unstable and implausible sensor data, making it difficult for users to comprehend the traffic situation, especially in changing environments, leading to reduced safety and user comfort.
Innovation Solution
A method that acquires surroundings data, dynamically selects a relevant surrounding area for display, determines a parameterizable number of objects to show, and adaptively selects prioritized objects and lanes based on prevailing conditions, enhancing the clarity and adaptability of the traffic situation representation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all sensor data is displayed on the display device, then the completeness of information is improved, but the comprehensibility and stability of the display deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into multiple priority levels, with critical traffic situation information displayed prominently and less critical information either omitted or displayed with lower visual priority. This segmentation allows the system to maintain information completeness while ensuring that the most important elements are easily comprehensible.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions or aspects of the displayed traffic situation are assigned different visual qualities and priorities based on their importance. Critical elements receive enhanced visual treatment (such as larger size, different color, or prominent positioning) while less critical elements are displayed with reduced visual emphasis, creating a hierarchical display structure that improves comprehensibility without losing information.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display adapts dynamically to changing surroundings, then the relevance of displayed information is improved, but the complexity of the display system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display system implements dynamic adaptation by continuously monitoring traffic conditions and automatically adjusting which information is displayed and how it is presented. The display content and priorities change in real-time based on the detected traffic situation, allowing the system to maintain high relevance without requiring complex manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system performs self-adjustment based on sensor data and traffic conditions, automatically determining what information to display and how to prioritize it without requiring external control or complex configuration. The system serves itself by using the traffic situation data to directly control the display priorities.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed number of objects are displayed, then the stability of the display is improved, but the ability to show relevant information in changing conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of object display count dynamically based on traffic conditions. Rather than maintaining a fixed number of displayed objects, the system adjusts this parameter according to the complexity and importance of the current traffic situation, allowing stable display structures to adapt to varying traffic densities.

AI summary
The disclosure relates to a method for providing a display of a traffic situation on a display device of a vehicle, including: acquiring surroundings data in surroundings of the vehicle, selecting a surrounding area for the display of the traffic situation on the display device, determining a maximum number of objects for the display of the traffic situation on the display device on the selected surrounding area, selecting relevant and/or prioritized objects and/or lanes for the display of the traffic situation on the display device on the selected surrounding area based on the maximum number of objects.
