Abstract
Disclosed is a method for notifying arrival of a vehicle to respond to the transportation vulnerable including determining a vehicle notification step based on a distance between the vehicle and a person scheduled to board when the vehicle approaches a location where a call is made in response to the call of the person scheduled to board who is the transportation vulnerable, and providing a vehicle arrival notification based on the determined vehicle notification step.
Claims18
A method for notifying arrival of a vehicle to respond to transportation vulnerable people, the method comprising:
- determining a vehicle notification step based on a distance between the vehicle and a person scheduled to board when the vehicle approaches a location where a vehicle call is made in response to a call of the person scheduled to board who is a transportation vulnerable person, the determining of the vehicle notification step based on the distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board including:
- setting an area of the distance to be a vehicle notification step 1 area when the distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board is equal to or smaller than a first distance;
- setting an area of the distance to be a vehicle notification step 2 area when the distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board is equal to or smaller than a second distance;
- and
- setting an area of the distance to be a vehicle notification step 3 area when the distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board is equal to or smaller than a third distance;
- and
- providing a vehicle arrival notification based on the determined vehicle notification step, the providing of the vehicle arrival notification based on the determined vehicle notification step including:
- outputting a notification using olfactory and tactile feedback for notifying an arrival and a direction of the vehicle using fragrance and wind in the case of the vehicle notification step 3 area.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing at least one program code including instructions for, when executed, causing at least one processor to perform operations, wherein the operations include:
- an operation of allowing a vehicle to arrive at a location where a call is made in response to a call of a person scheduled to board who is a transportation vulnerable person;
- an operation of determining a vehicle notification step based on a distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board, the operation of determining including:
- setting an area of the distance to be a vehicle notification step 1 area when the distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board is equal to or smaller than a first distance;
- setting an area of the distance to be a vehicle notification step 2 area when the distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board is equal to or smaller than a second distance;
- and
- setting an area of the distance to be a vehicle notification step 3 area when the distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board is equal to or smaller than a third distance;
- and
- providing a vehicle arrival notification based on the determined vehicle notification step, the providing of the vehicle arrival notification based on the determined vehicle notification step including:
- outputting a notification using olfactory and tactile feedback for notifying an arrival and a direction of the vehicle using fragrance and wind in the case of the vehicle notification step 3 area.
6 more elements
A device for notifying arrival of a vehicle to respond to transportation vulnerable people, the device comprising:
- an object detector configured to recognize a person scheduled to board who is a transportation vulnerable person outside the vehicle;
- a communicator configured to be in communication with a smartphone carried by the person scheduled to board;
- an outputter including a wind discharger, a fragrance discharger, and a speaker;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a vehicle notification step based on a distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board when the vehicle approaches a location where a vehicle call is made in response to a call of the person scheduled to board;
- and
- provide a vehicle arrival notification based on the determined vehicle notification step, wherein the processor is configured to:
- set an area of the distance to be a vehicle notification step 1 area when the distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board is equal to or smaller than a first distance;
- set an area of the distance to be a vehicle notification step 2 area when the distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board is equal to or smaller than a second distance;
- set an area of the distance to be a vehicle notification step 3 area when the distance between the vehicle and the person scheduled to board is equal to or smaller than a third distance;
- and
- output a notification using olfactory and tactile feedback for notifying an arrival and a direction of the vehicle using fragrance and wind in the vehicle notification step 3 area.
