Vehicle Emergency Reporting With Authenticated Occupant Data Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing emergency reporting systems for vehicles fail to ensure optimal emergency responses due to insufficient data on the occupant's health condition, leading to inadequate dispatch team preparations.
Innovation Solution
An emergency reporting system that includes a vehicle with detectors to identify emergency situations, a server apparatus with personalized emergency data, and authentication processors to ensure secure access and transmission of occupant data, enabling precise emergency responses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If personalized emergency data is stored and accessed for each occupant, then emergency response accuracy is improved, but system complexity and data security requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments emergency data into personalized occupant data (stored in server apparatus) and vehicle data (stored in vehicle terminal), with distinct authentication paths for each. This segmentation allows precise emergency responses while managing system complexity through modular data organization and separate authentication mechanisms.
2Reliability
If dual authentication (occupant + vehicle) is implemented for data access, then data security is improved, but authentication time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authentication by verifying occupant identity first, then using that authenticated state to enable vehicle combination authentication. This preliminary action structure allows the second authentication to proceed more efficiently, reducing overall authentication time while maintaining dual-layer security.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication system dynamically adjusts the authentication flow based on the emergency situation. In normal conditions, full dual authentication is required. In emergency situations, the system can expedite the process while maintaining security, making the authentication time flexible rather than fixed.
3Speed
If emergency data is rapidly transmitted to the server, then emergency response speed is improved, but data transmission security and system reliability requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authentication and data preparation before the emergency transmission occurs. By having authentication tokens and emergency data pre-prepared and verified, the actual emergency transmission can proceed rapidly without compromising security or reliability checks.
Data Source
AI summary
An emergency reporting system for a vehicle includes a server memory, an acquisition control processor, and first and second authentication processors. The server memory holds personalized emergency data regarding an occupant to be on board the vehicle or access data to the personalized emergency data. The acquisition control processor makes acquirable the personalized emergency data or the access data held in the server memory regarding the occupant on board the vehicle in which an emergency situation is detected by a detector of the vehicle, in a case where a server apparatus receives an emergency report from the vehicle in which the emergency situation is detected, and at least a combination of the occupant and the vehicle is authenticated by the second authentication processor.
