Traffic Notification Control by Operator Skill Level
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing traffic light control systems fail to properly control notification devices that provide traffic information, leading to potential safety issues and inefficient traffic management.
Innovation Solution
A control method and system that determine group, attribute-dependent, and individual control levels for operators based on their skills and attributes, identifying moving bodies within a range, and adjusting notification device settings to ensure proper traffic information dissemination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a traffic light control system uses readers on traffic lights to read pedestrian information, then pedestrian safety can be monitored, but the system fails to properly control notification devices that provide traffic information
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is designed to perform multiple functions: it not only reads pedestrian information using readers but also controls notification devices such as traffic lights and variable message signs. This multi-functional approach allows the system to both monitor safety and provide traffic information through proper notification device control.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system acts as an intermediary between the readers that capture pedestrian information and the notification devices that display traffic information. It processes the reader information and translates it into appropriate notification device control commands, enabling proper coordination between detection and notification functions.
2Productivity
If the control system provides detailed traffic information through notification devices, then traffic management efficiency improves, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is divided into distinct functional modules: reader modules for information capture, control logic for processing, and notification device control modules for output. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity through modular design while maintaining efficient traffic information dissemination capabilities.

AI summary
A control method includes the following. First information indicating a group control level is determined based on operation skills of operators who each perform remote monitoring or remote operation on a moving body. Second information indicating an attribute-dependent control level is determined based on attribute information on the operators. Third information indicating individual control levels of the operators is determined based on the first and second information. Moving bodies present within a predetermined range from a predetermined notification device are identified. Fourth information indicating a device control level is determined based on the third information determined for operators of the moving bodies identified. A detail of notification to be output from the predetermined notification device is determined based on the fourth information. A control command for notifying of the detail is output.
