Vehicle Dispatch Selection Using Autonomous Driving Function Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle dispatch systems cannot determine if a selected vehicle is an autonomous driving vehicle, limiting users' ability to choose such vehicles for dispatch.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle dispatch system that includes a server and user device capable of communicating to store and display information about autonomous driving functions of registered vehicles, allowing users to select vehicles based on these features, with optional authentication mechanisms for verifying vehicle and user combinations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the system provides basic vehicle dispatch functionality, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the user cannot determine whether a vehicle is an autonomous driving vehicle
Solution Approach 1:
The server pre-stores information about autonomous driving functions for multiple registered vehicles in advance. When a user requests vehicle dispatch, this pre-stored information is retrieved and transmitted to the user device, allowing the user to see autonomous driving capability information without requiring complex real-time processing or additional sensors.
2Ease of operation
If the system displays detailed autonomous driving function information, then the user can make informed selection, but the information transmission and processing becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential autonomous driving function information (such as whether the vehicle has autonomous driving capability) from the complete vehicle data set and transmits only this extracted information to the user device. This allows users to make informed vehicle selections without requiring the transmission and processing of unnecessary detailed data.
3Loss of information
If the system transmits autonomous driving function information to all candidate vehicles, then the user can select based on this information, but the communication data volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server transmits autonomous driving function information for only some candidate vehicles (those that are relevant or have the autonomous driving capability) rather than transmitting complete information for all registered vehicles. This partial transmission approach provides sufficient information for user decision-making while significantly reducing the overall communication data volume.

AI summary
A server includes a unit obtaining a position of a registered vehicle, a unit obtaining a vehicle dispatch position, a unit determining a candidate vehicle based on the vehicle dispatch position and the position of the registered vehicle, a unit transmitting information regarding an autonomous driving function of the candidate vehicle to a user device, a unit receiving information for identifying a dispatch vehicle, and a unit transmitting a vehicle dispatch position to the dispatch vehicle. The user device includes a unit receiving the information regarding the autonomous driving function of the candidate vehicle, a unit displaying the information regarding the autonomous driving function of the candidate vehicle, an unit accepting a user operation for selecting the dispatch vehicle, and a unit transmitting the information for identifying the dispatch vehicle to the server.
