Solution Overview

Problem

Current intelligent driving systems based on high-definition maps lack the ability for vehicles to roam freely, particularly in complex scenarios like intersections, limiting driver control and navigation flexibility.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent driving method and apparatus that enables vehicles to perform lane switching, intersection passing, and partial navigation strategy changes using high-definition map information, incorporating iterative forward search and driver habit costs to determine optimal routes, allowing for real-time adjustments without exiting the navigation process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the vehicle uses high-definition map navigation mode, then precise navigation and route planning are achieved, but the driver's control rights and driving freedom are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation precisionVSAvoiddriver control freedom
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic lane switching that adapts to driver intentions in real-time. The system transitions from static navigation routing to dynamic route adjustment by detecting driver operations (lever shifts, steering inputs) and automatically adjusting the navigation route to match driver intent, thereby maintaining precise navigation while restoring driver control freedom

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring driver operations and vehicle state, then adjusting the navigation route based on this feedback. When the driver performs operations indicating lane switching or route deviation, the system processes this feedback and automatically updates the navigation plan, creating a closed-loop control that balances automated precision with driver intent

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the vehicle follows fixed navigation routes, then accurate route guidance is provided, but the ability to handle complex scenarios like intersections is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroute guidance accuracyVSAvoidcomplex scenario handling
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms fixed navigation routes into dynamic, adaptable paths. The system continuously evaluates the current navigation route against actual driver operations and environmental context, automatically adjusting the route when intersections or complex scenarios are detected, enabling the vehicle to handle diverse driving conditions while maintaining route guidance accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The navigation system is segmented into multiple decision points, particularly at intersections. Instead of treating the route as a single fixed path, the system divides navigation into segments that can be independently adjusted based on local conditions such as intersection geometry, traffic patterns, and driver intent, enhancing adaptability to complex scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If lane switching is restricted during navigation, then navigation accuracy is maintained, but driving flexibility and driver intent are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation accuracyVSAvoiddriving flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from driver operations to dynamically control lane switching permissions. When the driver performs operations indicating desired lane changes, the system processes this feedback and adjusts lane switching restrictions accordingly, allowing lane changes that align with driver intent while maintaining navigation accuracy for routes not driven by the driver

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Lane switching restrictions are transformed from static constraints to dynamic controls. The system continuously adjusts lane switching permissions based on real-time detection of driver operations, enabling flexible lane changes when the driver initiates them while maintaining navigation accuracy for system-controlled segments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An intelligent driving method causes a vehicle to perform roaming based on a high-definition map, where the roaming can include lane switching, driving direction changing, or partial navigation strategy changing. The vehicle may perform the lane switching, the driving direction changing, or the partial navigation strategy changing based on an operation of a driver.
