Vehicle Information Processing Device for Safe Driving Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-roadside unit, and vehicle-to-pedestrian communication systems face challenges in actively encouraging the provision of information from vehicles and pedestrians, leading to limited data exchange and potential increases in accidents and decreased comfort in vehicle control.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and system that acquire and calculate scores for vehicle owners based on the amount and type of information transmitted from vehicles and mobile terminals to roadside units and other vehicles, incentivizing active information sharing through merit-based discounts on insurance fees.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If information is transmitted from vehicle to roadside unit/other vehicle/mobile terminal, then safe driving support is improved, but information provision motivation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the information processing device calculates a score based on the amount and quality of information transmitted by the vehicle, and communicates this score back to the vehicle owner. This feedback loop motivates continued information provision by showing tangible results of their contribution to safe driving support.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of information provision from a passive obligation to an active choice by introducing a scoring system. The score, which varies based on transmission frequency and information quality, transforms the static requirement into a dynamic incentive structure that encourages greater participation.
2Ease of operation
If limited information is transmitted from vehicle, then information provision effort is reduced, but vehicle control comfort deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback mechanism provides real-time or periodic information to the vehicle owner about their transmission activity and the resulting score. This transparency shows owners how their information contribution directly impacts vehicle control comfort and safety support, motivating them to provide more information despite the increased effort.
3Reliability
If more information is transmitted from vehicle to outside, then safe driving support is improved, but information provision motivation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system addresses this contradiction by implementing a comprehensive feedback loop that calculates and communicates scores to vehicle owners based on their information transmission. This feedback transforms the abstract concept of contributing to safe driving into a tangible, measurable outcome that motivates continued participation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the motivational parameter by introducing a scoring mechanism that quantifies information provision. Instead of relying on intrinsic motivation alone, the system creates an extrinsic incentive structure where the score serves as a measurable indicator of contribution, encouraging owners to transmit more information.

AI summary
An information processing device acquires related information related to support information for supporting safe driving of a vehicle transmitted from the vehicle to one or more apparatuses among a roadside unit, another vehicle, and a mobile terminal device, and calculates a score of an owner of the vehicle based on the related information.
