Automated Vehicle Feedback for Socially Acceptable Driving
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Autonomous vehicle systems do not facilitate improved driving behavior when autonomous control is turned off, leading to a lack of social awareness and interaction with other vehicles on the road.
Innovation Solution
An automated vehicle system comprising an information system, data storage, and an electronic controller that receives environmental information, compares it to predetermined socially acceptable behavior parameters, and notifies the driver or controls the vehicle to enact appropriate actions, such as safe following distances and lane changes, to promote better social driving behavior.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If autonomous control is activated, then vehicle safety and social behavior are improved, but driver intervention and control are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback to the driver through notifications that display socially acceptable behavior parameters and suggested actions. This feedback loop allows the driver to maintain control while being guided toward safer driving behaviors, resolving the contradiction between autonomous safety improvements and driver intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification device acts as an intermediary between the autonomous system's safety algorithms and the driver's control decisions. It translates complex safety parameters into actionable guidance without removing driver authority, enabling safety improvements while preserving driver engagement.
2Reliability
If autonomous systems provide continuous guidance, then driving behavior is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential socially acceptable behavior parameters needed for guidance and presents them through a simple notification interface. By selecting and displaying only relevant information rather than comprehensive data, the system improves driving behavior without requiring proportionally complex system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification system provides targeted guidance specific to each driving situation rather than comprehensive continuous control. This localized approach to behavior correction allows improvement in specific areas without requiring complex system-wide changes.

AI summary
An automated vehicle system includes an information system, data storage, an electronic controller and a notification device. The information system is configured to receive information related to an environment of the automated vehicle. The data storage has a predetermined socially acceptable behavior parameter stored therein. The electronic controller is configured to compare the information to the predetermined socially acceptable behavior parameter and determine vehicle behavior based on the information. The notification device is configured to present a notification of a course of action based on the determined vehicle behavior.
