Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If integrated autonomous driving software is used to cover diverse road environments, then the software can be reused across different regions, but it cannot reflect variation factors such as regional driving environment, driving propensity, and topography, leading to accidents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the driving route into multiple service sections (e.g., highway section, urban section, tunnel section) and assigns different specialized autonomous driving software to each section. This segmentation allows the system to use optimized software for specific environments rather than a single integrated software, improving both adaptability to regional characteristics and safety through specialized optimization for each section's unique conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by providing customized autonomous driving software tailored to each service section's specific characteristics. Each section receives software optimized for its local conditions (e.g., highway software for high-speed roads, urban software for city streets), ensuring that the autonomous driving system has the appropriate capabilities for each specific environment rather than using a uniform approach
2Reliability
If customized autonomous driving software is provided for each service section, then safety and optimization for specific environments improve, but the system complexity increases due to multiple software versions and management requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the vehicle terminal and the multiple autonomous driving software versions. The server stores various specialized software, manages software selection based on service section identification, and transmits the appropriate software to the vehicle terminal. This intermediary handles the complexity of software management, allowing the vehicle system to benefit from multiple specialized software versions without bearing the full burden of managing them all
3Reliability
If multiple candidate autonomous driving software are searched and selected based on user feedback, accident data, and usage fee, then optimal software selection improves, but the time and computational resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-storing multiple candidate autonomous driving software versions on the server, each associated with specific service sections and evaluation criteria. When a vehicle requests software for a particular section, the server can quickly retrieve and evaluate pre-prepared candidates based on user feedback, accident data, and usage fees, rather than creating or analyzing software options in real-time. This preliminary preparation significantly reduces the time required for software selection while maintaining high selection quality

AI summary
A system and a method for supporting an autonomous vehicle are provided. The system may include a communicator configured to receive a driving route transmitted from a vehicle and a processor configured to extract a service section included in the driving route and to provide the vehicle with customized autonomous driving software for each service section of a plurality of service sections.
