1Reliability

If operating parameters for driving control algorithms are dynamically adjusted based on learning results from multiple driving conditions, then the reliability and performance of autonomous driving algorithms are improved, but the device complexity and computational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary learning during normal driving conditions to build a knowledge base of operating parameters for various driving scenarios. When an accident or safety-critical situation occurs, the system can immediately apply pre-learned parameter adjustments without requiring complex real-time computation, thus improving reliability while managing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes operating parameters (such as sensor sampling rates, processing resolution, algorithm priority levels) based on learned driving conditions. This allows the system to optimize algorithm performance for different scenarios without requiring complete redesign of the control architecture, balancing reliability improvement with acceptable complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If operating parameters are adjusted to prioritize safety-critical algorithms during accident situations, then the reliability is improved, but the processing time and resource allocation for non-critical algorithms are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments algorithms into priority levels (safety-critical, important, optional) and applies different operating parameters to each segment based on the current driving condition. This allows safety-critical algorithms to receive enhanced resources while non-critical algorithms operate with reduced parameters, optimizing the trade-off between reliability and processing time

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the priority levels and resource allocation of different algorithms based on the current driving situation. During normal conditions, all algorithms operate at standard priorities. During safety-critical situations, the system dynamically reconfigures priorities to ensure safety-critical algorithms receive necessary computational resources while minimizing overall processing time
