Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the blind spot detection system is deployed in complex electromagnetic environments, then the system can operate in real-world conditions, but electromagnetic interference causes false alarms, wrong alarms, or non-alarms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs electromagnetic compatibility testing before the blind spot detection system is deployed to actual vehicles. The testing device simulates electromagnetic interference signals and obstacle scenarios in advance to identify and resolve potential false alarm issues before real-world deployment, preventing reliability problems rather than addressing them after occurrence.
Solution Approach 2:
The testing device acts as an intermediary between the blind spot detection system and the complex electromagnetic environment. It creates a controlled intermediate testing environment that simulates real-world electromagnetic interference and obstacle conditions, allowing the system to be evaluated and refined before actual deployment without exposing it to uncontrolled real-world risks.
2Reliability
If electromagnetic compatibility testing is performed to ensure safety, then detection accuracy improves, but testing complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The testing device is designed with multi-functionality to reduce overall complexity. It can simulate multiple types of electromagnetic interference signals, create various obstacle scenarios, and perform different testing modes all through a single integrated device, avoiding the need for multiple separate testing systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The testing device creates simplified copies or models of real-world electromagnetic environments and obstacle scenarios. Instead of requiring actual complex electromagnetic interference sources and physical obstacles, the device generates simulated representations that capture the essential characteristics needed for testing, reducing the complexity of the physical testing setup.
