Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle control systems lack the capability for optimized autonomous driving and autonomous fueling within a gas station environment, which is essential for enhancing user convenience and safety, especially in the context of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control device and method that integrates communication, sensing, and display units to enable autonomous driving and fueling by connecting with a gas station's communication device, using camera and sensing data to generate control commands for navigating and fueling without user intervention, and allowing seamless transitions between autonomous and manual modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If autonomous driving control is implemented in gas station environment, then user convenience and safety are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous driving control system is divided into multiple independent modules including communication unit, camera unit, sensing unit, display unit, and processor. Each module performs a specific function (communication with gas station, visual detection, environmental sensing, user interface, and central control), allowing the complex system to be managed through modular components that can be developed, tested, and maintained independently.
2Productivity
If autonomous fueling operation is implemented, then fueling efficiency is improved, but control precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously receives feedback from multiple sensing units that detect the vehicle's position, speed, and surrounding environment in real-time. The processor processes this feedback information and dynamically adjusts control commands to maintain precise positioning during fueling operations, enabling accurate alignment with the fueling port while accommodating environmental variations and vehicle movements.
