Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the number of types of traveling information collected by vehicle-mounted devices increases, then the accuracy of grasping vehicle state at collision time is improved, but the ease of quickly understanding the vehicle state deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex vehicle state information into distinct icon categories (vehicle attitude icons showing collision direction and angle, vehicle speed icons showing speed changes, and impact force icons showing impact magnitude). Each icon type represents a specific aspect of the collision, allowing users to quickly comprehend different dimensions of the vehicle state without being overwhelmed by raw data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates visual copies of vehicle state data through iconic representations. Instead of displaying numerical values and text descriptions of vehicle parameters, the system generates graphical icons that replicate the essential characteristics of the collision event, making the information immediately recognizable and understandable at a glance.
2Reliability
If multiple types of traveling information are collected and recorded, then the completeness of collision analysis is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that transforms raw vehicle sensor data into standardized icon representations. This intermediary system consolidates multiple data sources (vehicle attitude sensors, speed sensors, impact force sensors) into a unified visual language, reducing the complexity of handling diverse information types while maintaining complete collision analysis capabilities.

AI summary
A collision visualization device includes an identification unit analyzing vehicle traveling information in which information representing at least a type and occurrence time of an event generated in a vehicle to be analyzed in a time period including occurrence time of a collision or each of a series of collisions occurring for the vehicle, is recorded in accordance with occurrence order, and identifying a state of the vehicle in the time period, and a visualization unit causing a display device to display an iconic image representing the state of the vehicle identified by the identification unit.
