Solution Overview

Problem

Lane-related Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) malfunction when vehicles approach lane-free divergence points, leading to unnecessary lane maintenance controls and warnings, and increased risk of accidents due to misinterpretation of driver intentions.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses a camera and processor to identify driver intentions by analyzing changes in lane width and distance to edge lanes, activating or deactivating ADAS functions and controlling turn signal lamps accordingly to align with the driver's intended lane change.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If lane-related ADAS performs lane maintenance control based on recognized current driving lane, then the system provides lane keeping support, but unnecessary lane maintenance control is generated at lane-free divergence points

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelane keeping accuracyVSAvoidunnecessary lane maintenance control
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of divergence point sections ahead of the vehicle using map data or road sign recognition. When a divergence point is detected, the system proactively deactivates the lane-related ADAS function before the vehicle reaches the problematic area, preventing unnecessary lane maintenance control from being generated while the driver intends to change lanes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If lane-related ADAS generates lane departure warning when vehicle leaves driving lane, then the system provides safety warning, but false warnings are generated when driver intends to change lanes at divergence points

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewarning accuracyVSAvoidfalse lane departure warning
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system detects divergence point sections in advance using map data or road sign recognition and deactivates the lane-related ADAS function before the vehicle enters the divergence area. This preliminary deactivation prevents the system from generating false lane departure warnings when the driver legitimately intends to change lanes at the divergence point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If vehicle follows host vehicle without knowing lane change intention, then following vehicle maintains safe distance, but accident risk increases due to unpredictable lane change

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefollowing safetyVSAvoidaccident risk from unpredictable lane change
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system activates turn signal lamps when the vehicle approaches a detected divergence point section, providing visual feedback to following vehicles about the intended lane change. This feedback mechanism allows following vehicles to anticipate the lane change maneuver, maintain appropriate following distance, and adjust their positioning accordingly, thereby reducing accident risk.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Productivity

If ADAS function is continuously activated, then lane support is always available, but system malfunctions at specific road sections without indication lines

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelane support availabilityVSAvoidsystem malfunction rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses map data or road sign recognition to detect divergence point sections in advance and deactivates the lane-related ADAS function before the vehicle reaches these problematic areas. This selective deactivation maintains high lane support availability during normal driving while preventing system malfunctions at specific road sections without proper indication lines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
