Route generation based on occupant and luggage detection
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11971261B2) discloses an innovative apparatus and method for generating a route based on the detection of occupants and luggage in a vehicle. The apparatus includes a sensor to detect occupants and luggage, a transportation device mounted on a cradle outside the vehicle, and a controller. The controller determines the availability of the transportation device, assesses the difficulty of boarding public transportation, sets a route search target, generates moving routes, and outputs them through an output device. Additionally, the controller can determine the occupant's state and whether luggage is loaded in the transportation device, adjusting the route search target accordingly.
Furthermore, the apparatus and method involve outputting guide messages to occupants for decision-making regarding including specific routes based on factors like the difficulty of boarding public transportation or the presence of specific occupants like infants or elderly individuals. The system is designed to enhance the overall transportation experience by providing tailored route options based on individual needs and circumstances. By incorporating features such as bicycle-only roads or public transportation routes, the apparatus aims to optimize travel efficiency and convenience for occupants. Overall, this patented technology offers a sophisticated approach to route generation that prioritizes user comfort and accessibility in transportation planning.
