Vehicle Alarm Device Using Dynamic Deceleration Learning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional alarm systems for vehicles struggle to accurately determine alarm timing due to assumptions of constant deceleration speed and reliance on specific deceleration starting operations and driver awareness times, which are difficult to specify and require sufficient driving history data.
Innovation Solution
An alarm device with an object recognition unit, speed measurement unit, alarm speed database, and alarm determination unit that learns the driver's preferred deceleration speed based on distance and vehicle speed, allowing for precise alarm timing without requiring specification of deceleration operations or awareness times, and can function even with limited driving history data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If constant deceleration speed is assumed for alarm timing calculation, then calculation simplicity is improved, but measurement precision of alarm timing deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a static assumption of constant deceleration speed to a dynamic model that captures actual driver behavior. The system learns and adapts to variable deceleration patterns based on distance and speed, allowing the alarm timing calculation to reflect real-world driving characteristics rather than relying on simplified constant value assumptions.
2Measurement precision
If specific deceleration starting operation and driver awareness time are specified, then alarm timing accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by automatically learning driver behavior patterns without requiring explicit user input or specification. The alarm device autonomously captures deceleration operations and awareness timing through sensors and processors, eliminating the need for drivers to manually define these parameters while still achieving high alarm timing accuracy.
3Measurement precision
If sufficient driving history data is collected for learning, then alarm timing accuracy is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing and storing raw sensor data during normal driving operations. The system continuously captures distance, speed, and deceleration information in the background, so that when learning is needed, the processed data is already available, significantly reducing the time required to achieve accurate alarm timing without sacrificing data quality.
Data Source
AI summary
To provide a vehicle alarm device, a vehicle alarming method and a vehicle alarm generation program, capable of describing driving characteristics of a driver in detail and generating an alarm at appropriate timing, without specifying a deceleration starting operation and the time when a driver is aware of the necessity of deceleration. An alarm determination unit refers to alarm speed data in an alarm speed database and obtains an alarm speed data value corresponding to the distance to an object recognized by an object recognition unit, and then compares the alarm speed data value with a current speed of the own vehicle outputted by a speed measurement unit. If the own vehicle speed exceeds the alarm speed data value, the alarm determination unit determines that it is an abnormal state where the driver is not aware of a “red light” or a “stop sign”.
