Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If current methods for acquiring driving property indices are used, then the process is simple, but the accuracy of driving property indices is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of driving property indicesVSAvoidcomplexity of acquisition process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining multiple driving scenarios (straight driving, left turn, right turn, acceleration, deceleration, lane changing) with specific parameters before actual data collection. This preparation enables systematic and accurate acquisition of driving property indices under controlled conditions, resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and process complexity by structuring the acquisition process in advance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the driving property index acquisition into distinct scenarios (straight driving, turning, acceleration, deceleration, lane changing) and measures each scenario separately with specific parameters. This segmentation allows comprehensive and accurate measurement of different driving characteristics while maintaining organizational clarity, thus improving measurement precision without overwhelming complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive driving scenarios are tested to improve accuracy, then the accuracy of driving property indices improves, but the time and complexity of testing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of driving property indicesVSAvoidtesting time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By pre-defining all necessary driving scenarios and their parameters before testing, the system eliminates the need for ad-hoc scenario design during testing. This preliminary preparation enables efficient execution of comprehensive tests, reducing overall testing time while maintaining high measurement precision through systematic coverage of all driving conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs periodic action by collecting driving state information at fixed time intervals (e.g., every 100ms) during each driving scenario. This periodic data collection ensures comprehensive coverage of dynamic driving states without requiring continuous monitoring, thus achieving high measurement accuracy while controlling testing time through structured sampling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
