Vehicle Route Display Linking Navigation With CO2 Recovery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicles equipped with carbon dioxide recovery systems fail to raise awareness among occupants about the recovery of carbon dioxide, which is essential for addressing global warming.
Innovation Solution
An information provision apparatus is integrated into vehicles, which includes a processing unit to determine the vehicle's destination, acquire current position data, and request information from a server about candidate routes and estimated carbon dioxide recovery amounts, displaying this information to occupants, thereby raising awareness of carbon dioxide recovery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a carbon dioxide recovery system is installed in a vehicle, then carbon dioxide recovery capability is improved, but occupant awareness of carbon dioxide recovery remains insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback to occupants by displaying the amount of carbon dioxide being recovered during vehicle operation. The display unit shows recovery amount information that updates as the recovery system operates, creating a feedback loop that makes occupants aware of the environmental benefit of their driving behavior and the system's performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The display unit acts as an intermediary between the carbon dioxide recovery system and the occupants. It translates the invisible recovery process into visible information that occupants can understand, bridging the gap between the technical system and human awareness through visual representation of recovery data.
2Ease of operation
If route information is displayed without linking to carbon dioxide recovery, then navigation functionality is provided, but carbon dioxide recovery awareness is not enhanced
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges route guidance information with carbon dioxide recovery information into a single integrated display. By combining these previously separate information streams, the system allows occupants to view both navigation directions and environmental impact data together, enhancing awareness without requiring separate interfaces or actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The display unit serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides traditional navigation route information while also displaying carbon dioxide recovery amounts and comparing alternative routes based on their environmental benefits. This multi-functionality allows a single interface to serve both navigational and environmental awareness purposes.
