Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If simple TTC calculation method is used, then determination process is simple, but missed or false triggering occurs due to estimation error

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetermination process simplicityVSAvoidAEB triggering accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a deterministic TTC threshold approach to a probabilistic risk assessment approach. Instead of using a fixed TTC threshold for triggering AEB, the system calculates collision probability as a continuous parameter ranging from 0 to 1, allowing for more nuanced decision-making that reduces both missed and false triggers while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:

2Reliability

If probabilistic risk assessment method is used, then AEB triggering accuracy is improved, but functional parameters become complex and difficult to calibrate

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-calibration mechanism where the system automatically determines optimal probabilistic parameters through iterative testing and evaluation. Instead of requiring manual calibration of complex functional parameters, the system performs automated tests under various conditions, evaluates triggering accuracy, and adjusts parameters autonomously, significantly reducing calibration complexity while maintaining high triggering accuracy.

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a parameter determination method for an AEB function, a medium, and a device. The method includes: configuring current parameters of the AEB function of a vehicle; performing testing on the vehicle based on a test scenario to obtain behavior of the vehicle under the current parameters, the behavior being one of pre-collision braking to stop and collision; performing adjustment on the current parameters based on the behavior to obtain adjusted parameters; and determining the adjusted parameters as target parameters of the AEB function in response to the adjusted parameters meeting an expected condition.
