Innovation Solution

A vehicle accident analysis system and method that includes a server with wired/wireless communication functions to acquire and synchronize autonomous driving record data and image data based on time information, generating vehicle accident analysis data, and a user terminal to reproduce and output this data for accident analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If autonomous driving record data and image data are collected separately without synchronization, then data collection is simple, but accident cause analysis becomes difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccident cause identification accuracyVSAvoiddata synchronization system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that receives autonomous driving record data and image data from different sources, synchronizes them based on time information, and generates integrated accident analysis data. This mediator approach allows separate data collection while achieving precise synchronization for accurate accident cause identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If autonomous driving record data and image data are synchronized based on time information, then accident analysis accuracy is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccident analysis accuracyVSAvoiddata processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs multiple functions including receiving autonomous driving record data, receiving image data, synchronizing time information, generating accident analysis data, and providing it to user terminals. This multi-functional approach consolidates complex data processing tasks into a single universal system, improving accident analysis accuracy while managing complexity through functional integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If accident data is analyzed without synchronized reproduction of record data and image data, then processing is faster, but determination of responsibility becomes unclear

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponsibility determination reliabilityVSAvoidinsurance processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary synchronization of autonomous driving record data and image data before accident analysis, creating pre-integrated accident analysis data with corresponding time stamps. This preliminary action ensures that when insurance processing occurs, the data is already synchronized and ready for quick, reliable responsibility determination without requiring time-consuming post-accident alignment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
