Solution Overview

Problem

Vehicular communications face latency and inefficiency due to a multi-staged, reactive process that relies on image recognition and visible indicators, leading to potential errors and limited time for adjustments.

Innovation Solution

A system where vehicles associate identifiers with online storage, allowing for the proactive sharing and access of driving factors, enabling vehicles to anticipate and adjust to potential actions by accessing remotely stored data, thereby reducing latency and enhancing safety and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If image recognition techniques are used to analyze brake lights of surrounding vehicles, then the vehicle can detect braking actions of other vehicles, but communication latency increases and the process becomes multi-staged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidcommunication latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by having vehicles proactively publish their driving factor data (including brake status, acceleration, steering) to online storage before other vehicles need to detect them. This eliminates the multi-staged reactive detection process and reduces latency, as the data is already available when needed rather than requiring real-time image capture, recognition, and analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If reactive vehicular communications are used where communications occur as an action occurs, then the system responds to actual events, but the system is prone to error and leaves minimal time for adjustments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse accuracyVSAvoidadjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Vehicles proactively publish driving factor data before actions occur, enabling other vehicles to anticipate and prepare for potential actions. This transforms the system from reactive to proactive, providing充足的 adjustment time while maintaining reliability through continuous data publication and verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If all vehicular data is transmitted in real-time, then comprehensive information is available, but data transmission efficiency decreases due to excessive information volume

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and transmits only relevant driving factor data (brake status, acceleration, steering angle, vehicle speed) that is essential for safety and driving decisions, rather than transmitting all possible vehicular data. This maintains information completeness for critical parameters while significantly improving transmission efficiency by filtering out unnecessary information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Methods and systems may provide for technology to identify, at a first vehicle, one or more driving factors associated with a potential future action of the first vehicle, determine that the one or more driving factors are to be stored as remotely accessible data and cause the remotely accessible data to be stored to an online storage in association with an identifier of the first vehicle. The technology may further, at a second vehicle, identify the identifier from sensor data, access the remotely accessible data based on the identifier, and one or more of cause at least part of the remotely accessible data to be presented to a user of the second vehicle or modify a driving parameter of the second vehicle based on the remotely accessible data.
