Autonomous Vehicle Interaction Interface for Pedestrian Intent Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current autonomous vehicles lack sufficient technology to share and understand situation information with nearby vehicles or pedestrians, leading to unclear interactions and potential collisions when driving on common roads.
Innovation Solution
A device with a processor and sensor system that recognizes the status of nearby objects and vehicles, determines mutual intention, and provides notifications through speakers and displays to facilitate intuitive communication and safe interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If autonomous vehicles use conventional LED or electronic display indicators to show autonomous driving status, then the vehicle can indicate its autonomous status, but the interaction and information sharing with nearby vehicles and pedestrians remains insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle roof structure is transformed into a multi-functional interaction device that combines LED lights, electronic displays, and acoustic speakers. This allows the same physical structure to serve multiple communication functions (visual and auditory) for information sharing with surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an interaction management module that acts as an intermediary between the autonomous vehicle's perception system and external communication devices. This mediator coordinates the selection and execution of appropriate notification methods (LED, display, speaker) based on the recognized situation, enabling effective information sharing without requiring direct complex integration of all communication components
2Reliability
If autonomous vehicles lack interaction technology with nearby objects, then the vehicle system remains simple, but safety and collision prevention capabilities are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The interaction system is segmented into independent functional modules: status recognition module, situation determination module, mutual intention recognition module, and notification execution module. Each module handles a specific aspect of the interaction process, allowing the system to achieve high reliability for collision prevention while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary recognition of object status, situation determination, and mutual intention analysis before executing notification actions. This preliminary processing ensures that the appropriate communication method is selected in advance, improving collision prevention reliability by ensuring thorough situation analysis while avoiding last-minute complex decision-making
