Building Route Validation for Mobile Technical Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for determining suitable routes for mobile technical systems in buildings do not adequately consider the dynamic and physical parameters of the systems, leading to potential navigational issues and safety concerns due to insufficient validation of boundary conditions.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and device that utilize a spatial model of the building to check the suitability of routes for mobile technical systems by deriving boundary conditions based on system parameters, incorporating real-time ambient data, and outputting results to enable route validation and potential replanning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If path planning algorithms only consider boundary conditions like walls or passageways, then the routing process is simple and fast, but the route suitability for mobile technical systems cannot be ensured due to insufficient validation of physical parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing route checking before the mobile technical system actually traverses the route. The building management system reads in the spatial model, route, and system parameters, then checks boundary conditions at predefined points in advance. This prevents navigation issues before they occur, resolving the contradiction by ensuring route suitability through advance validation while maintaining a structured checking process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary checking mechanism that acts as a mediator between path planning and actual navigation. The building management system serves as an intermediary that validates routes by comparing system parameters against boundary conditions derived from the spatial model. This intermediary layer ensures route suitability without requiring the mobile system itself to be complex, resolving the contradiction through centralized validation.
2Reliability
If comprehensive parameter validation is performed at every predefined point of the route, then route safety is ensured, but the checking process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the route into multiple predefined points along the path. Instead of continuously checking every position, the system validates boundary conditions at discrete segments or checkpoints. This segmentation approach maintains comprehensive validation accuracy while reducing the overall checking time compared to continuous monitoring, resolving the contradiction between thoroughness and efficiency.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If dynamic parameters of mobile technical systems are considered in route checking, then navigational safety is improved, but the complexity of determining boundary conditions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a multi-functional boundary condition determination process that handles various system parameters (dimensions, weight, heat resistance, turning radius) through a unified approach. The building management system uses a single checking mechanism that can validate multiple different parameter types against corresponding boundary conditions. This universal checking process improves navigational safety for diverse mobile systems without proportionally increasing complexity, as the same infrastructure handles all parameter validations.
