Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If autonomous vehicles are equipped with network connectivity for communication and control, then functionality and connectivity are improved, but vulnerability to hacker hijacking increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a safety monitoring system as an intermediary layer between the network communication modules and the vehicle control systems. This mediator continuously monitors data streams, identifies potential hijacking attempts, and blocks malicious commands before they reach critical vehicle systems, thus maintaining connectivity while filtering out harmful inputs
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback loops where the safety monitoring system constantly receives running data from various vehicle systems, analyzes it against predefined safety criteria, and provides real-time responses by triggering emergency handling operations when threats are detected, creating a closed-loop security mechanism
2Reliability
If comprehensive monitoring of running data is implemented to detect hijacking, then security detection capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system is divided into multiple independent monitoring modules, each responsible for specific vehicle systems (e.g., steering, acceleration, braking). Each module independently monitors its designated system and contributes to overall security assessment, reducing the complexity of any single module while maintaining comprehensive coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The safety monitoring system is designed as a universal platform that can monitor multiple different vehicle systems through standardized interfaces. The same core monitoring architecture handles various types of data streams from different sources, reducing overall system complexity through reuse of common components and logic
3Reliability
If emergency handling operations are activated to counter hijacking, then vehicle safety is improved, but operational disruption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system takes preliminary anti-action by pre-defining emergency handling operations and thresholds during system design. When monitoring detects parameters exceeding these pre-set thresholds, the system automatically executes predetermined countermeasures (such as disconnecting network connections or activating safe modes) before the hijacking can cause serious harm, balancing safety response with operational disruption
