Vehicle Sensor Tracking for Customized Profiles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicles operated by inexperienced or unsafe drivers pose a risk due to distracting features and varying driving conditions, necessitating a system to customize vehicle profiles for enhanced safety and reduced risks.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that monitor user behavior, quantify it into values, and adjust vehicle feature access based on thresholds, using a decentralized database like blockchain to manage user profiles and sensor data, allowing incremental or decremental access to vehicle features based on driving performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If vehicle features are made accessible to all users, then ease of operation is improved, but safety and reliability deteriorate due to inexperienced or unsafe driving
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts vehicle feature accessibility based on real-time driver behavior monitoring. Features are not fixed but can be enabled or disabled automatically as the driver's score changes, allowing the system to adapt to driver proficiency levels and ensure safety while maintaining ease of operation for qualified drivers
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors driving behavior through sensors and provides feedback in the form of score adjustments and feature access changes. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that drivers receive appropriate restrictions based on their actual driving performance, balancing safety requirements with operational ease
2Reliability
If vehicle features are restricted for inexperienced drivers, then safety is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to limited feature access
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides dynamic feature access that evolves as drivers gain experience and improve their scores. Initially restricted features become progressively more accessible, allowing the system to maintain safety for inexperienced drivers while providing full functionality to those who demonstrate safe driving behavior
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary restrictions on vehicle features for new or inexperienced drivers before they have demonstrated sufficient proficiency. These preliminary actions ensure safety is prioritized initially, with the understanding that full feature access is granted only after meeting established safety criteria
3Measurement precision
If sensor data is collected and processed centrally, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of information and privacy issues worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces decentralized identifiers and encrypted data structures as intermediaries between the sensors and the processing systems. These intermediaries enable precise behavior quantification while protecting user privacy by preventing direct access to raw sensor data and personal information, thus resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and privacy protection
Data Source
AI summary
An example operation may include one or more of initiating a vehicle event, retrieving a user profile associated with a user participating in the vehicle event, applying a vehicle status, based on the user profile, to the vehicle event, permitting access to a first set of vehicle features based on the vehicle status, collecting vehicle actions performed during the vehicle event for a period of time, and determining whether to increase or decrease a vehicle status based on the collected vehicle actions.
