Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple factors are considered in lane changing prediction, then prediction accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the lane changing prediction process into multiple independent modules: obtaining current lane information, predicting target lane information, determining position offsets, and calculating success rates. Each module handles a specific aspect of the prediction, allowing the system to consider multiple factors while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of prediction by calculating position offsets in both longitudinal and lateral directions, and by predicting not just whether lane changing is possible but also the success rate. This multi-dimensional approach improves prediction accuracy by considering spatial relationships and temporal factors simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If feature subsets are removed based on preset conditions, then processing efficiency is improved, but information loss occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidinformation loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of feature subsets by removing only those that meet specific preset conditions (such as features with zero values or redundant information). This selective parameter modification maintains processing efficiency by reducing data volume while preserving critical information needed for accurate lane changing prediction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and removes specific feature subsets that meet preset conditions from the complete feature set. By selectively taking out only the unnecessary features (such as redundant or zero-value features), the system improves processing efficiency without losing essential information required for prediction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method for predicting a success rate of lane changing by a vehicle, including obtaining lane-group data of the plurality of lane groups, determining feature sets respectively corresponding to a plurality of lane lines of the traveling road, removing a feature subset in the plurality of feature subsets that meets a first preset condition from a feature set corresponding to the feature subset to obtain a remaining feature set, determining a current position offset of a traveling position of the vehicle in the plurality of lane groups during traveling of the vehicle, determining a target position offset of a preset target position of the vehicle in the plurality of lane groups, and predicting a success rate of changing from the first lane to the second lane by the vehicle based on the current position offset, the target position offset, the remaining feature set, and traveling information of the vehicle.
