Vehicle Control Profile Switching for Route-Adaptive Driving
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 to match driving circumstances, 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, incorporating risk scores and insurance premiums for safer routes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle systems use fixed driving profiles, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different driving circumstances deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects and switches between multiple pre-defined driving profiles based on real-time driving circumstances, route characteristics, and driver behavior patterns. This allows the vehicle control system to adapt to different conditions without requiring complex real-time generation of new profiles, maintaining system simplicity while achieving high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple driving profiles are pre-configured and stored in the system before actual driving scenarios occur. The system performs preliminary analysis of driving circumstances and pre-selects appropriate profiles, enabling rapid adaptation without complex real-time computations during critical driving moments.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system downloads and stores multiple driving profiles, then adaptability to different drivers and routes improves, but device complexity and memory requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of storing complete, complex driving profiles locally, the system maintains simplified profile representations or identifiers and downloads specific profile data only when needed. This approach provides adaptability to multiple drivers and routes while minimizing local storage requirements and profile management complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses a universal profile management architecture that can handle multiple driving profiles through a common interface and selection mechanism. This multi-functional approach allows the system to work with profiles from different drivers and routes without requiring separate management systems for each, reducing overall complexity.
3Reliability
If the system calculates risk scores and recommends specific driving profiles, then vehicle safety improves, but processing time and computational requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
Risk assessment criteria and profile matching rules are pre-configured in the system. When a driving scenario arises, the system quickly matches pre-established risk factors with stored profiles rather than performing complex real-time risk calculations, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining safety effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs risk assessment on the most critical factors first (partial action) rather than analyzing all possible risk variables comprehensively. This approach provides sufficient safety improvement for urgent decisions without the computational overhead of complete analysis, enabling rapid profile selection when time is critical.

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.
