Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the autonomous vehicle system continuously monitors and processes all possible passenger actions and states, then the system can provide comprehensive service coverage, but the computational resources and processing time are excessively consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The trip is divided into multiple discrete states (e.g., parked, en route to pickup, en route to destination, arrived). The computing system only processes and monitors actions relevant to the current state, rather than continuously analyzing all possible passenger actions across all states. This segmentation reduces computational overhead while maintaining comprehensive service coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-defines a set of possible states and their associated relevant actions before the trip begins. By having the state framework prepared in advance, the system can quickly determine the current state and only process relevant actions, avoiding the need to continuously evaluate all possible actions during operation.
2Ease of operation
If the system provides detailed and comprehensive interfaces for all possible trip states, then the user experience is enhanced, but the interface complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface is segmented and customized based on the current trip state. Different states (parked, en route, arrived) have different relevant interfaces displayed. This ensures that passengers only see and interact with interfaces relevant to their current situation, enhancing ease of operation while reducing overall interface complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface configuration is dynamic and changes automatically based on the determined current state. The system generates and communicates state-specific interface data to the passenger's computing device, allowing the interface to adapt to the current context without requiring a single complex static interface design.
3Measurement precision
If the autonomous vehicle system processes all passenger actions in real-time, then the response accuracy is improved, but the processing time and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the processing task by first determining the current state, then only processing actions relevant to that state. This two-stage approach maintains response accuracy by ensuring relevant actions are captured while significantly reducing processing time by excluding irrelevant actions from real-time analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary state determination before processing specific actions. By having the state framework ready in advance and using it to filter relevant actions, the system achieves accurate real-time response without the computational burden of analyzing all possible actions simultaneously.
