Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a driver manually operates devices in the vehicle, then the devices can be controlled, but the driver's attention is distracted and safety is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables devices to operate automatically based on environmental sensor data and pre-configured control logics. The vehicle environment self-regulates through automated control of air conditioners, power windows, and other devices without requiring driver intervention, thus maintaining safety while ensuring device functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
Control logics are pre-configured and stored in the system before driving situations arise. When environmental conditions are detected, the corresponding pre-prepared control instructions are automatically executed, eliminating the need for real-time driver decision-making and manual operation during critical driving moments.
2Reliability
If the system automatically controls devices based on environment, then driving safety is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into independent control logics, each handling specific device control scenarios. The control logic decomposer breaks down complex control requirements into discrete, manageable instruction sets for individual devices or device groups, making the overall system complexity manageable through modular organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The control logic analyzer serves multiple functions: it receives control logics from various sources, analyzes and decomposes them into executable instructions, checks device readiness, searches for conflicts in the database, and manages control instruction execution. This multi-functional design reduces the need for separate specialized components, thereby managing system complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple control logics are stored for different devices, then device control versatility is improved, but conflicts between control logics may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback through the conflict detection mechanism. Before executing new control logics, the system searches the database for existing logics and identifies potential conflicts. This feedback loop ensures that only consistent control logics are executed, maintaining reliability while preserving versatility through comprehensive conflict checking.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary conflict detection and resolution before control logic execution. By searching the database for existing control logics and identifying potential conflicts in advance, the system prevents contradictory actions from occurring, ensuring consistent and reliable device operation across multiple control scenarios.
4Manufacturing precision
If control logics are decomposed into detailed instructions, then execution precision is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Control logics are decomposed into executable instructions in advance and stored in the system. When environmental conditions trigger a control logic, the pre-decomposed instructions are ready for immediate execution, minimizing processing time while maintaining the precision of detailed control instructions through prior preparation.
