Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for autonomous vehicles lack efficient and safe methods for handling emergency situations by transmitting and receiving data among an automated driving system (ADS), user equipment (UE), and infrastructure, particularly at higher autonomous driving levels.

Innovation Solution

An emergency situation control method and device that enables efficient data transmission and processing between ADS and UE, allowing for safe autonomous driving by periodically or aperiodically receiving status information, identifying emergency situations, and controlling emergency responses based on UE responses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the ADS transmits emergency information to the UE, then the UE can be aware of the emergency situation, but redundant transmission occurs when the UE has already received the information from other sources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemergency situation handling reliabilityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The UE feeds back status information to the ADS indicating whether it has received emergency information from other sources. The ADS uses this feedback to determine whether to transmit emergency information, avoiding redundant transmission and energy waste while maintaining reliable emergency situation handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the ADS transmits emergency information to the UE, then the UE can respond to the emergency situation, but the UE may not respond in critical situations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemergency response reliabilityVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The ADS transmits emergency information to the UE in advance before the critical situation fully develops. This preliminary action ensures the UE has the information needed to respond promptly when the situation becomes critical, reducing response time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If the ADS continuously monitors UE status, then the ADS can identify emergency situations accurately, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemergency situation detection precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The UE autonomously monitors its own status regarding emergency information reception and actively reports this status to the ADS. This self-service approach enables accurate emergency situation detection without requiring complex continuous monitoring infrastructure, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An emergency situation control method for transmitting and receiving information between an automated driving system (ADS) and a user equipment (UE), an automated driving system (ADS) for transmitting and receiving information to and from a user equipment (UE), and a vehicle therefor, are provided. The method includes periodically or aperiodically receiving status information from the UE by the ADS, the status information including information indicating that the UE has received emergency information, identifying, by the ADS, an emergency situation based on the status information, determining, by the ADS, whether or not to transmit the emergency information to the UE, and controlling, by the ADS, an emergency situation related to the emergency information.
