INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240192016 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 consumption amounts for a specific length of road that includes the segment, and then maps this information onto 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 for a predetermined length of road that encompasses each segment.
- The apparatus then visualizes this data on a road map for easy reference 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/power consumption - Inefficient resource allocation in transportation planning - Difficulty in assessing environmental impact of road networks
Benefits: - Improved fuel/power efficiency for vehicles - Enhanced decision-making for transportation planning - Better understanding of environmental implications of road usage
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Transportation Management System for Fuel Efficiency" This technology can be utilized by transportation companies, government agencies, and logistics firms to optimize fuel consumption, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. It has the potential to revolutionize how transportation systems are managed and planned.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior research on fuel consumption monitoring systems in transportation and environmental impact assessment tools to gain a deeper understanding of the existing technology landscape in this field.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in fuel consumption monitoring technology, transportation management systems, and environmental impact assessment methodologies to leverage the most current research for further innovation in this area.
Questions about Fuel Consumption Monitoring Technology: 1. How does this technology contribute to sustainable transportation practices? - This technology enables better monitoring and management of fuel consumption, leading to more sustainable transportation operations. 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this fuel consumption monitoring system? - By optimizing fuel usage, organizations can reduce operational costs and improve overall efficiency.
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.
