Abstract
By a platooning formation pattern proposal method, a platooning formation pattern proposal device, or a platooning formation pattern proposal system, a formation pattern of platooning is proposed when vehicles perform the platooning, information related to the formation pattern is collected, information in a predetermined index is extracted from the collected information, a score of the index is calculated, a recommendation formation pattern is proposed.
Claims9
A platooning formation pattern proposal method for proposing a formation pattern of platooning when a plurality of vehicles perform the platooning, the method comprising:
- collecting information related to the formation pattern;
- extracting, as an index factor, information in a predetermined index from the collected information, wherein the predetermined index includes at least two indices;
- calculating a score of the index as an index score based on the extracted index factor;
- and
- proposing, as a recommendation formation pattern, the formation pattern for which the index score has been calculated, when the calculated index score satisfies a predetermined condition;
- when calculating the score, calculating the index score of at least two indices;
- and
- when at least two index scores satisfy the predetermined condition, proposing, as the recommendation formation pattern, the formation pattern for which the index score has been calculated.
A platooning formation pattern proposal device for proposing a formation pattern of platooning when a plurality of vehicles perform the platooning, the device comprising:
- an information collection unit configured to collect information related to the formation pattern;
- an index score calculation unit configured to extract, as an index factor, information in a predetermined index from the information collected by the information collection unit, and calculate a score of the index as an index score based on the extracted index factor;
- and
- a formation pattern proposal unit configured to propose, as a recommendation formation pattern, the formation pattern of which index score has been calculated, when the index score calculated by the index score calculation unit satisfies a predetermined condition,
- wherein
- the index score calculation unit is further configured to calculate the index score of at least two indices, and
- the formation pattern proposal unit is further configured to propose, as the recommendation formation pattern, the formation pattern for which the index score has been calculated, when the at least two index scores satisfy the predetermined condition.
A platooning formation pattern proposal system for proposing a formation pattern of platooning when a plurality of vehicles perform the platooning, the system comprising:
- an information collection unit configured to collect information related to the formation pattern;
- an index score calculation unit configured to extract, as an index factor, information in a predetermined index from the information collected by the information collection unit, and calculate a score of the index as an index score based on the extracted index factor;
- and
- a formation pattern proposal unit configured to propose, as a recommendation formation pattern, the formation pattern of which index score has been calculated, when the index score calculated by the index score calculation unit satisfies a predetermined condition,
- wherein
- the index score calculation unit is further configured to calculate the index score of at least two indices, and
- the formation pattern proposal unit is further configured to propose, as the recommendation formation pattern, the formation pattern for which the index score has been calculated, when the at least two index scores satisfy the predetermined condition.
