Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a driving simulator is developed to accurately simulate autonomous emergency braking operations, then the precision of accident analysis is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccident analysis precisionVSAvoidsimulator system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the autonomous emergency braking system within the simulator environment. The simulation program replicates the radar sensor signals, camera sensor signals, and braking control logic of the actual AEB system, allowing accurate accident analysis without requiring the physical vehicle system. This copying approach maintains high measurement precision while avoiding the complexity of duplicating entire physical systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The simulator acts as an intermediary system between the actual AEB system and the accident analysis process. It receives test data from real AEB operations and processes it through virtual simulations to produce analysis results. This intermediary layer enables precise accident reconstruction by mediating between raw test data and analytical conclusions, without requiring direct access to the complex physical AEB hardware during analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If actual test data and radar characteristics are incorporated into the simulation, then the reliability of accident analysis is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccident analysis reliabilityVSAvoiddata processing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The simulator performs preliminary processing of actual test data before accident analysis. It pre-integrates radar sensor signals, camera sensor signals, and vehicle state data into a standardized format that can be directly used for accident reconstruction. This preliminary action reduces the difficulty of detecting and measuring during actual analysis by preparing all necessary data in advance with proper synchronization and calibration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple data sources including radar sensor signals, camera sensor signals, and vehicle state data into a unified simulation model. By combining these heterogeneous data types into a single integrated analysis framework, the system improves reliability through multi-source validation while reducing the overall difficulty of detection and measurement compared to analyzing each data source separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
