Autonomous Truck-Trailer Pairing With Certificate Cross-Validation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing autonomous truck and trailer systems lack integrity verification and continuous monitoring during transportation, leading to potential hacking and transportation accidents.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous driving logistics system and method that includes a server communicating with a truck and trailer to perform cross-validation of information, monitor states, and ensure certificates match, preventing unauthorized connections and continuous monitoring during transport.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If autonomous truck and trailer systems operate without integrity verification, then operational efficiency is improved, but security and reliability deteriorate due to potential hacking and unauthorized connections
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary integrity verification by comparing certificates and information between trucks and trailers before allowing connection and transportation. The server validates truck-trailer pairs by checking certificate matches and information consistency in advance, ensuring that only authorized combinations can operate, thus preventing hacking and unauthorized connections before they occur.
2Reliability
If cross-validation and continuous monitoring systems are implemented, then reliability and security are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a server as an intermediary that centralizes the complex verification and monitoring functions. The server receives information from trucks and trailers, performs certificate validation, compares data consistency, and continuously monitors transportation states. This intermediary approach consolidates complexity in a centralized location while keeping the truck and trailer systems relatively simple.
3Reliability
If certificate verification and information cross-validation are performed, then unauthorized connections are prevented, but the time required for connection and setup increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs certificate verification and information cross-validation as preliminary actions before connection is established. The server validates all security credentials and information consistency in advance, so that once verification is complete, the actual connection and transportation can proceed without further delays. This ensures security checks are completed upfront rather than interrupting operations.

AI summary
An embodiment autonomous driving logistics system includes a trailer on which cargo is loadable, a truck connected to the trailer, and a server configured to communicate with the trailer and the truck, to control the trailer and the truck to perform a cross-validation between truck information transmitted to the trailer and trailer information transmitted to the truck to determine whether to start transportation, and monitor a transportation state based on truck state information transmitted from the truck and trailer state information transmitted from the trailer during driving of the truck.
