Automated Vehicle Allocation System with Real-Time Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for transporting vehicles are inefficient, costly, and lack real-time management and insurance customization, leading to issues with driver accountability, vehicle tracking, and inaccurate insurance data, resulting in high premiums and potential losses for dealers.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing internet-based communication for finding, contracting, and managing drivers, enabling real-time GPS tracking, trip-specific digital license plates, and on-the-fly insurance purchasing, allowing for efficient vehicle transportation and cost control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If phone calls and third-party services are used to manage drivers, then driver allocation can be achieved, but the process becomes slow, inefficient, and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of phone calls and manual coordination with an electronic computer-based allocation system that automatically matches drivers to vehicles using algorithms and digital communication, dramatically improving efficiency and reducing management time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a computer-based allocation system as an intermediary between drivers and vehicle requestors, automating the matching process and eliminating the need for direct phone calls and manual coordination between parties
2Loss of information
If verbal communication is used for vehicle condition reporting, then drivers can report issues, but accuracy is lost and problems may be assigned to wrong vehicles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces verbal communication with electronic digital communication through the computer-based system, which captures vehicle condition data in structured formats, eliminating miscommunication and ensuring accurate attribution of conditions to specific vehicles
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements automated feedback mechanisms where the system immediately records and confirms vehicle condition reports from drivers, creating an accurate digital trail that prevents information loss and ensures proper attribution of vehicle issues
3Reliability
If drivers are monitored and controlled in real-time, then accountability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex manual monitoring and control procedures with automated electronic tracking through the computer-based system, which automatically records driver actions, vehicle locations, and trip data, improving accountability without requiring complex human oversight structures
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for allocating drivers to procure targets, such as automobiles. These targets are then transported to a desired drop-off destination. The entire system is automated, such that a requestor may hire drivers that are certified by the system and would satisfy requirements associated with the target, such as proper driver's license and location of the driver relative to the target. The system is powered by an internet based mobile application that is designed to match individual drivers to auto dealers, auction houses, driving transport companies and other businesses and individuals (“requestors”) seeking to move automobiles, goods, services, tasks, etc. from one location to another. The system has been designed to find, organize, and manage drivers and all aspects of the trip on a real time basis and reduce the cost of the existing system.
