ROUTE GENERATION SYSTEM, ROUTE GENERATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18122406 titled 'ROUTE GENERATION SYSTEM, ROUTE GENERATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The route generation system described in the abstract includes a diagnosis unit, a generation unit, and an output unit. The diagnosis unit estimates the deterioration degree of a road surface from an image, the generation unit creates a travel route based on this deterioration degree and road environment information, and the output unit displays the generated travel route.
- The system diagnoses road surface deterioration from images.
- It generates travel routes based on the deterioration degree and road environment information.
- The travel routes are created to capture images for further diagnosis.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the following areas:
- Transportation and logistics for efficient route planning.
- Infrastructure maintenance to prioritize repairs based on road surface conditions.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the following issues:
- Lack of real-time road surface condition assessment.
- Inefficient route planning due to outdated information.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved road safety by identifying deteriorated road surfaces.
- Cost-effective maintenance planning based on accurate deterioration assessments.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include:
- Integration into navigation systems for real-time route updates.
- Selling the system to transportation companies for optimized fleet management.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of image processing for road surface condition assessment in the field of transportation engineering.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle varying weather conditions that may affect road surface deterioration?
The system may need to incorporate weather data or sensors to account for changing conditions.
What is the accuracy rate of the diagnosis unit in estimating road surface deterioration?
Further testing and validation may be needed to determine the accuracy of the system's estimations.
Original Abstract Submitted
A route generation system includes a diagnosis unit, a generation unit, and an output unit. The diagnosis unit performs a diagnosis to estimate a deterioration degree of a road surface from an image to be monitored. The generation unit generates a travel route based on the deterioration degree of the road surface for each point diagnosed by the diagnosis unit and information regarding a road environment affecting the diagnosis for each point, the travel route being generated for capturing another image used for another diagnosis. The output unit outputs the generated travel route.
