Vehicle Entry Notification for Travel Caution Region Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle monitoring systems do not consider communication with a vehicle monitoring server when entering or exiting travel attention regions, such as railroad crossings or snowy roads, which can lead to inadequate monitoring and safety concerns.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle communication system that transmits entry and pass completion signals to a vehicle monitoring server before entering and after leaving a travel attention region, allowing the server to confirm vehicle status and adjust monitoring accordingly, and permits manual driving or route changes if communication fails.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the vehicle transmits entry notice signals to the vehicle monitoring server before entering travel attention regions, then the monitoring precision and safety are improved, but the communication load and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle transmits entry notice signals to the vehicle monitoring server before entering travel attention regions such as railroad crossings, snowy roads, and intersections. This preliminary notification allows the server to prepare monitoring resources and focus attention on vehicles entering critical areas, improving monitoring precision without requiring continuous high-intensity monitoring of all vehicles throughout their entire journey.
2Reliability
If the vehicle requires manual driving when entry notice signal transmission fails, then the safety is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
When entry notice signal transmission fails, the system proactively switches from automated driving to manual driving mode before the vehicle enters the travel attention region. This preliminary anti-action prevents potential safety issues that could arise from communication failures during critical maneuvers, ensuring the driver is in control when monitoring information may be incomplete or unreliable.
3Reliability
If the vehicle monitoring server monitors all vehicles continuously, then the safety is improved, but the energy consumption and processing load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle monitoring server concentrates monitoring resources on vehicles that are entering or present in travel attention regions rather than monitoring all vehicles uniformly. By receiving entry notice signals, the server can dynamically adjust its monitoring intensity and focus computational energy on critical situations, improving safety where needed while reducing overall energy consumption and processing load.

AI summary
Provided are a vehicle, a vehicle monitoring server, a vehicle monitoring system, and a vehicle monitoring method, that can be suitably used in a configuration whereby the vehicle and the vehicle monitoring server communicate in relation to a travel caution region. A first control device in the vehicle sends an entry notification signal to the vehicle monitoring server prior to entry into a travel caution region, if the travel caution region is included in a target route or a target track. The first control device may also send a passage completed signal to the vehicle monitoring server after passing through the travel caution region. A second control device in the vehicle monitoring server performs an error output if, after receiving an entry notification signal from a specified vehicle, a passage completed signal has not been received by a second prescribed point in time.
