Vehicle Delivery Time Precision via Performance Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to accurately calculate both the required time for a vehicle to transport a product to a specified location and the arrival time of the product, due to their reliance solely on vehicle and location coordinates without considering vehicle performance.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that accepts product and vehicle performance information to identify the required time for transportation and arrival time, using accepted performance data to provide precise calculations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the system calculates required time based only on vehicle location and specified location, then the calculation is simple, but the precision of required time and arrival time identification deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters used for calculation from only location coordinates to include multiple vehicle performance parameters (maximum speed, acceleration, deceleration). This allows the required time and arrival time to be identified with high precision by considering how the vehicle actually performs during transportation, not just the theoretical time based on distance alone.
2Ease of operation
If the system uses only location coordinates for calculation, then the system is easy to operate, but the arrival time identification precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically acquires vehicle performance parameters from the vehicle itself through communication between the information processing device and the vehicle. This self-service approach means the system gathers necessary data without manual input, maintaining ease of operation while significantly improving the precision of arrival time identification through the use of actual vehicle performance data.

AI summary
An information processing system, a device, and a method capable of identifying a time required for a vehicle to transport a product to a specified location specified by a user or an arrival time at which a product, transported by a vehicle, arrives at the specified location with high precision. An acceptor accepts product information relating to a product purchasable by a user and performance information indicating vehicle performance of a vehicle associated with the user. An identifier performs identification of a time required for the vehicle to transport the product relating to the accepted product information to a location specified by the user or identification of an arrival time at which the product arrives at the specified location, based on the accepted performance information.
