Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automatic vehicle dispatching systems lack the ability to dynamically adjust routes based on real-time road conditions and vehicle attributes, leading to inefficiencies and potential collisions, especially in arbitration areas where multiple vehicles intersect.
Innovation Solution
An automatic vehicle dispatching system that includes a server device capable of communicating with multiple vehicles, storing area information with path points and vehicle attributes, and generating route information for each vehicle to optimize its route based on road conditions and vehicle specifications, including position, speed, and direction, while also managing arbitration areas to prevent collisions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single drive route is used for all automatic vehicles, then the system complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different vehicle attributes and road conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the drive route into multiple path points with specific driving attributes (position, speed, angle of entrance, travel direction) tailored to different vehicle types. Each automatic vehicle receives customized route information based on its attributes, allowing the system to handle diverse vehicle characteristics without becoming overly complex.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically generates and updates drive routes based on real-time road conditions and vehicle attributes. The server device adjusts path points and driving attributes according to current traffic状况 and vehicle characteristics, enabling the system to adapt flexibly without requiring complex static configurations.
2Productivity
If real-time route adjustment based on road conditions is implemented, then the operational efficiency is improved, but the communication and control system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server device acts as an intermediary between road condition sensors and automatic vehicles. It centralizes the processing of road condition information and the generation of adjusted routes, then communicates customized path points to relevant vehicles. This mediator approach improves operational efficiency while containing system complexity in a centralized location rather than distributing it across multiple vehicles.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops where the server device continuously monitors road conditions and vehicle positions, then adjusts drive routes in real-time based on this feedback. This enables efficient adaptive routing while managing complexity through centralized control and information processing.
3Productivity
If multiple automatic vehicles operate in arbitration areas simultaneously, then the productivity is improved, but the collision risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server device performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating and assigning specific path points to each automatic vehicle before they enter arbitration areas. This advance planning ensures that vehicles have predetermined, non-conflicting routes, allowing simultaneous operation in arbitration areas while preventing collisions through proactive route assignment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by providing customized driving attributes (position, speed, angle of entrance, travel direction) for each vehicle's specific path points in arbitration areas. This localized customization ensures that each vehicle has optimal collision avoidance parameters tailored to its position and characteristics, enabling safe simultaneous operation while maintaining productivity.

AI summary
An automatic vehicle dispatching system includes automatic vehicles, and a server device that performs communication with the automatic vehicles. The server device includes: a storage that stores: area information that includes path points in a predetermined area that indicate a drive route, each of the path points including driving attributes that represent an automatic vehicle movement state on the drive route; and vehicle information indicating a vehicle attribute of each of the automatic vehicles; and a route searcher that generates, for each of the automatic vehicles, first route information that includes path points selected from among the path points of the area information according to the vehicle information that corresponds to the automatic vehicle, the first route information indicating a first drive route for the automatic vehicle. Each of the automatic vehicles is controlled to drive based on the first route information generated.
