Vehicle Pull-Up Control for Stop-and-Go Destination Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving systems (AD) lack efficient methods for controlling vehicles in planned stop-and-go situations, such as pulling up at mailboxes or drive-thru restaurants, which are typically handled in a traditional and inefficient manner.
Innovation Solution
A pull-up controlling system that uses a positioning system to determine the vehicle's position, identifies a stop-and-go destination with a digital map, requests user input to confirm the destination, derives preference data for an openable section, and maneuvers the vehicle to align the openable section with the interaction interface using ADAS or AD systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional manual control methods are used for stop-and-go situations, then the system complexity remains low, but the ease of operation and user convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies stop-and-go destinations, determines optimal pull-up positions, and controls vehicle maneuvering without requiring manual user input for each action. The system serves itself by autonomously completing the stop-and-go task while the user simply needs to provide initial intent confirmation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary identification of suitable stop-and-go destinations and pre-calculates optimal pull-up positions before the user needs to act. This advance preparation reduces the operational burden on the user during the actual stop-and-go situation.
2Productivity
If automated vehicle control is implemented for stop-and-go situations, then the productivity and operational efficiency improve, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system integrates multiple functions including destination identification, position determination, user interaction handling, and vehicle maneuvering control into a single automated pull-up control system. This multi-functionality improves productivity by handling the entire stop-and-go sequence automatically while managing complexity through functional integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the functions of destination identification, positioning, user confirmation, and vehicle control into a unified automated system. By merging these previously separate operations into one integrated process, the system achieves higher productivity without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
3Loss of time
If the system automatically identifies and confirms stop-and-go destinations, then the loss of time is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification of stop-and-go destinations and pre-determines optimal pull-up positions before the user needs to make decisions. This advance preparation significantly reduces the time loss associated with manual destination selection and positioning during the actual stop-and-go operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to the user by presenting identified destinations and requested actions through the user interface, allowing for quick confirmation or modification. This feedback mechanism enables rapid user-system interaction that minimizes time loss while maintaining user control.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a pull up controlling system of a vehicle for controlling the vehicle in a planned stop-and-go situation. The pull up controlling system determines a position of the vehicle and identifies a stop-and-go destination within a predeterminable distance from the vehicle position. The stop-and-go destination includes an interaction interface. The pull up controlling system provides a user input request relating to whether to discard or acknowledge the stop-and-go destination. The pull up controlling system receives intention data indicative of confirmation to acknowledge the stop-and-go destination. The pull up controlling system further derives preference data indicative of an openable section of the vehicle. The pull up controlling system maneuvers the vehicle to pull up at the stop-and-go destination, with the openable section aligned with the interaction interface.
