Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing amount of map information required for advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) leads to excessive system load during transmission and modeling, necessitating a method to optimize transmission specifications and reduce system load.

Innovation Solution

A map-based ADAS that linearly simplifies map information by dividing the traveling route into sections, using a road modeler to calculate and transmit section residual distances, average valid gradients, and average valid curvatures, and an ADAS control device to validate and control ADAS functions using this information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If precise map information is transmitted for map based ADAS, then estimation accuracy of traveling situation is improved, but system load during transmission and modeling increases excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveestimation accuracyVSAvoidsystem load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The traveling route is divided into multiple sections, and map information is processed section by section rather than transmitting the entire route data at once. This segmentation reduces the amount of data transmitted and processed simultaneously, lowering system load while maintaining estimation accuracy for each section

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Only the necessary road model information (gradient, curvature, speed) is extracted and transmitted from the complete map data, discarding redundant information. This extraction process reduces transmission data volume while preserving the essential elements needed for accurate traveling situation estimation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If complete map information is modeled, then traveling situation estimation is accurate, but transmission data volume increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraveling situation estimationVSAvoidtransmission data volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the critical road model parameters (gradient, curvature, speed) from complete map information, transmitting minimal data while maintaining sufficient information for reliable traveling situation estimation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of transmitting complete map data and filtering at the receiving end, the system pre-processes and filters map information at the transmission end, sending only the essential extracted features that are immediately usable for estimation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)
