Vehicle Control Profile Switching for Trip-Specific Driving Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle systems are insufficient in adapting driving profiles on a trip-by-trip basis, leading to inadequate accident prevention and motor vehicle safety.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control computer identifies and develops driving profiles based on driver behavior data, transmits them to a remote server, downloads matching profiles, and configures vehicle operations to mimic the selected profile, enhancing safety scores and insurance premiums.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle systems use fixed driving profiles, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different driving conditions and drivers deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between different autonomous driving profiles based on real-time driving conditions, driver behavior, and route characteristics. The vehicle control computer selects from multiple pre-defined profiles (e.g., conservative, moderate, aggressive) and can transition between them during operation, making the system adaptable without requiring complete real-time optimization complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple autonomous driving profiles are pre-configured and stored in the vehicle control computer before operation. These profiles contain pre-calculated control strategies for various driving scenarios, allowing the system to quickly adapt to changing conditions by selecting the appropriate pre-prepared profile rather than computing optimal control in real-time.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system downloads and configures new driving profiles in real-time, then adaptability improves, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads multiple autonomous driving profiles into the vehicle control computer's memory before they are needed. The vehicle control computer maintains a local database of different driving profiles that can be instantly activated without network communication, eliminating download delays during critical driving situations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and stores local copies of autonomous driving profiles in the vehicle control computer's memory. These copies can be instantly accessed and applied without requiring continuous connection to remote servers, enabling rapid profile switching while minimizing data transmission time.
3Reliability
If the system uses multiple driver profiles with different safety scores, then vehicle safety improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects which autonomous driving profile to apply based on real-time assessment of driving conditions, route characteristics, and driver behavior patterns. The vehicle control computer continuously monitors these factors and adjusts the selected profile to optimize safety without requiring manual intervention or complex configuration management.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor driving outcomes, driver responses, and vehicle performance to continuously assess which autonomous driving profile is most appropriate. This feedback loop allows the system to automatically adjust profile selection and improve safety over time without increasing operational complexity for the driver.

AI summary
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for the logical configuration of vehicle control systems based on driver profiles. A vehicle control computer may identify driving behavior of a driver of a vehicle through vehicle operation data provided by one or more of vehicle sensors, a telematics device, and a mobile device. Based on the driving behavior, the vehicle control computer may develop a first driving profile for the driver of the vehicle. The vehicle control computer transmit the first driving profile to a remote server storing driving profiles of a plurality of users. The vehicle control computer may download a second driving profile associated with a different driver from the remote server. The vehicle control computer may configure vehicle operations based off of the second driving profile associated with the different driver and may actuate vehicle operation based on the configuration.
