Load-Receiving Vehicle Parking Guidance for Secure Delivery Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing load receiving vehicles face challenges in safely and reliably storing delivery articles when a recipient is absent, as they require specific parking spaces to prevent interference between the trunk lid and obstacles, and ensure easy access for the deliverer.
Innovation Solution
A load receiving vehicle equipped with a storage unit, a lock control unit for door management, and a communication unit that receives and acts upon delivery schedule information to notify the driver and facilitate secure and reliable delivery even in the absence of the recipient, including automatic positioning to ensure space availability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the vehicle is parked in a place where the necessary space is not ensured, then the vehicle can be parked anywhere, but the load cannot be put in the trunk
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by notifying the driver in advance about the delivery schedule and required parking conditions. The notification is provided before the actual delivery occurs, allowing the driver to take appropriate actions to ensure successful delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop by communicating delivery schedule information to the driver and providing guidance on proper parking locations. This feedback mechanism ensures the driver understands the requirements for successful load reception.
2Reliability
If the vehicle requires specific parking spaces to prevent interference between the trunk lid and obstacles, then the delivery can be completed successfully, but the vehicle parking flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system acts as an intermediary between the delivery system and the driver, transmitting essential information about delivery schedules and parking requirements. This intermediary function bridges the gap between system requirements and driver actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by providing the driver with all necessary information to independently determine appropriate parking locations and take appropriate actions before delivery occurs, without requiring external intervention or supervision.
