INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18529215 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS
The abstract describes an information processing apparatus that collects data on fuel or power consumption by a vehicle as it passes through different road segments. Based on this data, the apparatus generates information on the vehicle's consumption in a specific section of a predetermined length that includes the road segment, and then maps this information on a road map.
- The apparatus acquires data on fuel or power consumption by a vehicle as it moves through various road segments.
- It calculates the consumption amounts of the vehicle in a specific section of a predetermined length that includes the road segment.
- The apparatus then maps this information onto a road map for visualization and analysis.
Potential Applications: - Transportation management systems - Fleet tracking and optimization - Environmental impact assessments for road infrastructure projects
Problems Solved: - Lack of real-time data on vehicle fuel or power consumption - Inefficient resource allocation in transportation systems - Difficulty in assessing environmental impact of road usage
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in fuel/power consumption monitoring - Enhanced decision-making for transportation planning - Reduced environmental footprint of road infrastructure projects
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Transportation Efficiency with Real-Time Consumption Data" This technology can be utilized by transportation companies, government agencies, and urban planners to optimize resource allocation, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact in road infrastructure projects.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the information processing apparatus collect data on fuel or power consumption from vehicles passing through different road segments? 2. What are the key advantages of mapping the consumption information onto a road map for analysis and visualization?
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus acquires first data about an amount of fuel or power consumed when a first vehicle passes through each of a plurality of first road segments. Furthermore, the information processing apparatus generates, based on the first data, first information on the fuel or power consumption amounts of the first vehicle in a section of a predetermined length that includes the first road segment. the information processing apparatus maps the first information on the first road segment on a road map.
