Solution Overview
Problem
Ride-sharing and autonomous vehicles lack personalized settings and efficient communication capabilities, leading to user dissatisfaction and increased computational resources for tracking vehicles not in service.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses a mobile device to register vehicles as nodes in a communication network, enabling data transmission and control through a vehicle node server, allowing for personalized settings and efficient resource management by integrating vehicles into a communication and control network using cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth technologies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If vehicles are tracked continuously to monitor service status, then vehicle availability information is improved, but computational resources are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic tracking of vehicles based on their service status. Vehicles that are in service are tracked continuously, while vehicles not in service are tracked periodically or not at all. This reduces computational resources while maintaining reliable vehicle availability information through dynamic adjustment of tracking frequency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If vehicles are integrated into a communication network with multiple nodes, then communication capabilities are improved, but device complexity is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses universal communication protocols and standardized node interfaces that allow different vehicles and mobile devices to communicate through a common framework. This multi-functionality approach enables versatile communication capabilities while reducing device complexity by avoiding the need for vehicle-specific custom integration for each communication scenario.
