Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If energy management functions are added to autonomous driving platforms, then energy efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy efficiencyVSAvoidplatform complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges energy management functions with the autonomous driving platform by integrating an energy management module that works in conjunction with existing simulation and control systems. This combination allows energy efficiency improvements without requiring a completely separate system, thereby managing complexity through integration rather than addition of standalone components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The energy management platform is designed to be multi-functional, serving both energy optimization purposes and integrating with autonomous driving control functions. The system can perform multiple roles including energy consumption monitoring, battery state simulation, and driving strategy optimization, thereby justifying the complexity increase through enhanced versatility.

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

2Measurement precision

If energy management software is integrated into the simulation platform, then battery state simulation accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery state simulation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an energy management module as an intermediary component that bridges the simulation platform and battery management functions. This module handles the complex tasks of battery state simulation and energy consumption calculation, thereby improving accuracy while containing complexity within a dedicated intermediary layer rather than dispersing it throughout the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary simulation and calculation of battery states and energy consumption during the simulation phase before actual vehicle operation. By pre-calculating energy management parameters in the virtual environment, the system achieves high simulation accuracy while reducing the computational complexity required during real-time vehicle operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
