Vehicle Pre-Dangerous State Alert via Simulation Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques fail to alert drivers of vehicles to pre-dangerous states before they become dangerous situations, such as collisions or lane changes, which can lead to accidents.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus comprising a storage unit for pre-dangerous state information obtained from vehicle simulations, a data acquirer for real-time vehicle data, and an alert controller that provides alerts based on comparisons between actual and simulated data to notify drivers of impending dangers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If only dangerous state detection is implemented, then collision avoidance is achieved, but pre-dangerous states cannot be alerted
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs traveling simulation in advance to generate pre-dangerous state information before actual dangerous situations occur. By pre-calculating potential hazards and their precursor states, the system enables early warning capabilities without waiting for actual dangerous conditions to manifest.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a virtual copy of the traveling environment through simulation, allowing pre-dangerous states to be detected and stored in the storage unit. This virtual model enables the system to identify hazardous patterns before they materialize in the physical world.
2Adaptability or versatility
If simulation data is stored for all possible states, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential pre-dangerous state information from comprehensive simulation data. By identifying and storing only the critical precursor states that lead to dangerous conditions, the system maintains high adaptability while minimizing storage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different storage strategies to different types of simulation data. High-priority pre-dangerous states that lead to critical hazards are stored in detail, while less critical states are summarized or omitted, optimizing the balance between coverage and storage efficiency.

AI summary
The driver of a vehicle is alerted to occurrence of various pre-dangerous states. There is provided an information processing apparatus including a storage unit that stores information obtained by a traveling simulation of a vehicle in a virtual environment and indicating a pre-dangerous state before the vehicle is set in a dangerous state, a first acquirer that acquires actual information during traveling of the vehicle, and an alert controller that provides an alert of occurrence of the pre-dangerous state based on the actual information acquired by the first acquirer and the information indicating the pre-dangerous state.
