Solution Overview

Problem

Existing autonomous driving systems face limitations in obtaining high-definition maps of appropriate geographical ranges due to the restricted detection range of onboard sensors, which affects driving planning and safety, especially in high-speed scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic information obtaining method involving a first enabler server that collects and aggregates local dynamic information from multiple enabler clients in a target area to create a comprehensive high-definition map, reflecting the traffic environment, and provides this information to the target client for enhanced driving planning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the autonomous driving vehicle uses onboard detection devices to obtain high-definition map information, then the map information can be obtained in real-time, but the detection range is limited and the geographical range coverage is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time detection capabilityVSAvoidgeographical range coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines detection information from multiple detection devices (video cameras, radar sensors, laser rangefinders) mounted on different vehicles to create a comprehensive high-definition map that covers a larger geographical area than any single vehicle could detect alone

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The service server acts as an intermediary that collects, processes, and aggregates detection information from multiple vehicles, then provides the synthesized high-definition map information to the target client, enabling extended range coverage without requiring each vehicle to have its own extensive detection capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Area of stationary object

If the autonomous driving vehicle increases the detection range to cover larger geographical areas, then the map coverage is improved, but the detection device performance requirements and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemap coverage rangeVSAvoiddetection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the large-scale detection task into smaller segments, with each vehicle's detection device responsible for capturing local environmental information within its own limited range, and the service server assembling these segments into a comprehensive high-definition map

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each vehicle uses its own onboard detection devices to independently collect local traffic condition information, which is then contributed to the collective high-definition map without requiring enhanced detection capabilities on any single vehicle

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
