Vehicle Control Interface for ADK Communication Anomaly Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Communication anomalies between autonomous driving systems and vehicle platforms can disrupt autonomous driving, while manual driving can continue, necessitating different user notifications for appropriate information during such anomalies.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control interface that differentiates between autonomous and manual driving modes to provide specific notifications when communication anomalies occur, informing users of system anomalies or the inability to switch modes accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the autonomous driving system is provided separately from the vehicle via an interface, then the autonomous driving system can be mounted on an existing vehicle without significant changes, but communication anomalies may occur between the autonomous driving system and the vehicle
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle control interface acts as an intermediary component between the autonomous driving system and the vehicle platform. It manages communication protocols, data formats, and signal transmission, thereby enabling the autonomous driving system to be mounted on existing vehicles while maintaining communication reliability through standardized interface control
2Ease of operation
If the same notification is provided to the user during both autonomous driving and manual driving communication anomalies, then the notification system is simple, but the user is not provided with appropriate information for the specific driving mode
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system applies local quality by providing different notification contents based on the driving mode. During autonomous driving anomalies, the system notifies that autonomous driving cannot continue, while during manual driving anomalies, it notifies that switching to autonomous driving is unavailable. This context-specific notification approach ensures appropriate information delivery for each driving scenario
3Reliability
If the vehicle control interface continuously monitors communication status, then communication anomalies can be detected promptly, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle control interface implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring communication status between the autonomous driving system and the vehicle platform. When communication anomalies are detected, the system provides feedback through user notifications and adjusts system operations accordingly, enabling reliable anomaly detection through structured feedback loops rather than complex monitoring infrastructure

AI summary
When an ADK is mounted on a vehicle and a unit authentication for the ADK is completed, a VCIB performs a process including a step of determining whether an anomaly is occurring in a communication with the ADK, a step of notifying, when the vehicle is in an autonomous driving mode and an anomaly is determined to be occurring in the communication with the ADK, occurrence of an anomaly in an autonomous driving system, and a step of notifying, when the vehicle is in a manual operation mode and an anomaly is determined to be occurring in the communication with the ADK, that the use of the autonomous driving system is not allowed.
