Transfer Guide Information for Vehicle-to-Transit Connections
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multimodal route search techniques do not provide guide information to passengers regarding actions they can take during transfer from a vehicle to fixed schedule transportation, such as trains, to effectively utilize the time between arrival and departure.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that provides guide information to passengers, including actions they can take during transfer, based on the time difference between vehicle arrival and fixed schedule transportation departure, using an information processing device comprising processors to notify passengers of vehicles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If guide information is provided to passengers during transfer, then transfer time utilization is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system calculates and provides guide information in advance during the vehicle ride before the actual transfer occurs. The transfer guide information is prepared beforehand based on predicted arrival time and fixed schedule transportation departure time, allowing passengers to understand transfer requirements ahead of time without increasing real-time processing complexity at the transfer moment.
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing device acts as an intermediary between the vehicle operation system and the passenger. It receives vehicle arrival time information, calculates transfer time differences, and generates appropriate guide information, serving as a mediator that coordinates between different transportation systems and provides unified guidance to passengers.
2Loss of time
If transfer guide information is provided in advance, then passenger preparation time is improved, but information processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs information processing in advance during the vehicle ride rather than at the transfer moment. By calculating transfer time differences and generating guide information beforehand, the system utilizes the vehicle's travel time for processing, effectively hiding the processing duration from the passenger's perspective while still providing timely information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the timing of information provision based on real-time vehicle arrival predictions and fixed schedule transportation departure times. The guide information is generated at the optimal moment during the vehicle ride when transfer time difference calculation is needed, allowing flexible processing timing that adapts to actual travel conditions.

AI summary
A terminal (6) notifying information to the passenger of a vehicle is sent guide information at the time of transfer to fixed schedule transportation which the passenger is planning to ride. The guide information includes the guide information relating to action which the passenger can take at the time of transfer in accordance with the time difference (Δt) from when the vehicle arrives at the departure and arrival location of the fixed schedule transportation which the passenger is planning to ride until the fixed schedule transportation which the passenger is planning to ride departs.
