Vehicle Sub-Mobility Device Positioning Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge lies in efficiently managing the positions of multiple sub-mobility devices within a vehicle to facilitate easy entry, exit, and manual driving, while ensuring passengers can sit comfortably and move around without obstruction, especially when some devices need to be relocated for others to access the exit or driving position.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle system that includes an acquisition unit to gather conditions such as exit orders, manual driving capabilities, and device positions, and a position determination unit that optimally allocates sub-mobility devices based on these conditions, allowing for flexible arrangement and movement within the vehicle compartment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple sub-mobility devices are carried in the vehicle compartment, then the vehicle's transport capacity is improved, but the arrangement complexity and difficulty of managing device positions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The position determination unit pre-determines optimal positions for sub-mobility devices based on acquisition data about passenger needs, device types, and vehicle conditions before the devices are actually loaded. This preliminary positioning plan facilitates smoother loading operations and reduces on-the-spot arrangement complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The acquisition unit continuously gathers information about device positions, passenger requirements, and vehicle status, which feeds back to the position determination unit. This feedback loop enables dynamic adjustment of device arrangements to optimize space utilization and accessibility while managing complexity
2Ease of operation
If sub-mobility devices are arranged to facilitate easy exit, then the ease of operation is improved, but the available space for other devices or passengers may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The position determination unit assigns different positional characteristics to different sub-mobility devices based on local requirements. Devices needing easy exit access are positioned near exits with adequate clearance, while other devices can be arranged in remaining spaces. Each device's position is optimized for its specific function and passenger needs rather than applying a uniform arrangement
3Adaptability or versatility
If sub-mobility devices are positioned for manual driving capability, then the adaptability is improved, but the positioning constraints and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically determines device positions based on real-time acquisition data about which devices have manual driving capability and which passengers may need to drive. The position determination unit flexibly adjusts arrangements to accommodate driving needs while considering other factors like exit accessibility and space utilization, rather than following fixed positioning rules

AI summary
A vehicle includes an acquisition unit and a position determination unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire at least one of conditions including an order of getting out of the vehicle, a possibility of manual driving, and a combination of positions of sub-mobility devices in a vehicle compartment, and the position determination unit configured to determine the positions of the sub-mobility devices in the vehicle compartment, on a basis of a combination of the conditions.
