Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies struggle to predict the risk of traffic accidents, particularly those that do not occur frequently, as they focus on specific driving operations rather than infrequent events.

Innovation Solution

An operation support method and system that uses machine learning to predict the risk of traffic accidents by inputting biological data of a driver and traveling state data into accident risk definition and prediction models.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If prediction focuses on specific driving operations, then prediction accuracy for common events is improved, but ability to predict infrequent events deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprediction coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The prediction system is designed to handle multiple types of events simultaneously - both frequent driving operations and infrequent accidents. By using a unified machine learning model that processes biological data, traveling state data, and hazard occurrence data together, the system achieves both specific prediction accuracy and broad event coverage without requiring separate prediction mechanisms for different event types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Device complexity

If only driving operation data is used for prediction, then model simplicity is maintained, but prediction reliability for traffic accidents deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel complexityVSAvoidprediction reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple data sources - biological data from drivers, traveling state data from vehicle sensors, and hazard occurrence data - into a unified prediction model. This combination of diverse data types enhances prediction reliability for traffic accidents while the use of machine learning automatically manages the complexity of processing these multiple data streams together.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Speed

If prediction is made for immediate risk only, then response time is reduced, but early warning capability for future risks deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speedVSAvoidwarning lead time
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary prediction of accident risk for future time points rather than only immediate risk assessment. By using machine learning to analyze current biological and traveling state data in the context of historical hazard occurrence patterns, the system can predict future accident risk and provide early warnings before the actual risk materializes, giving advance notice while maintaining rapid response capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
