Solution Overview

Problem

Road safety management systems face challenges due to increasing population and vehicle traffic, leading to overwhelmed road networks and decreased quality of life and safety.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for controlling driver usage by receiving and verifying identification information, sending alerts for incorrect identification, and determining driving permissions, as well as calculating a driver score based on saved and live data to provide recommendations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If identification verification is implemented for all users, then road safety is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroad safetyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments users into different categories (authorized drivers, unauthorized individuals, passengers) and applies different verification levels to each segment. The identification device specifically targets driver verification while allowing other user types to be identified with less stringent checks, thereby improving safety for the critical driver role without uniformly increasing complexity across all user interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs identification verification in advance before allowing vehicle operation. The identification device verifies driver identity and authorization status before the driver operates the vehicle, preventing unauthorized operation rather than detecting it during operation. This preliminary verification ensures safety while maintaining efficient operation once authorization is confirmed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If driver verification and permission checking are performed, then unauthorized driving is prevented, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunauthorized driving preventionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs driver verification and permission checking in advance before vehicle operation begins. The identification device and controller verify driver identity, check authorization status, and confirm permission levels before allowing the driver to operate the vehicle. This preliminary action ensures that all verification steps are completed beforehand, preventing unauthorized driving while enabling rapid operation once verification is complete.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses automated identification devices and controllers that perform verification operations autonomously without requiring manual intervention. The controller automatically checks driver permission, compares identification information against stored data, and makes authorization decisions without human review, thereby minimizing processing time while maintaining rigorous verification standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If detailed driver scoring and recommendation systems are implemented, then driving quality is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving qualityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a driver scoring mechanism that provides continuous feedback on driving quality. The controller monitors driving behavior, compares it against established criteria, and generates scores that reflect driving quality. This feedback loop enables the system to identify high-quality drivers and provide recommendations for improvement, thereby improving overall driving quality through systematic evaluation and continuous monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The driver scoring and recommendation system operates autonomously, with the controller automatically collecting driving data, processing it through evaluation algorithms, and generating scores without manual intervention. The system self-manages the complex data processing tasks by integrating sensors, data storage, and analysis algorithms into a unified automated framework, reducing the need for external processing while maintaining comprehensive evaluation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An indication from an identification device is received. The indication includes identification information for each user of one or more users in a vehicle. The identification device is found in the vehicle. Whether the identification information for each user of the one or more users is correct is determined. Responsive to determining the identification information for any user of the one or more users is incorrect, a manager of the vehicle is notified.
