Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional lane-keeping control systems fail to account for individual drivers' inclinations, leading to potential malfunctions and accidents, especially on curved roads, as they do not adapt steering control to reflect the driver's intended position within the lane.

Innovation Solution

A system that includes a sensor for lane detection, a lane-keeping controller, and a basis following position setting unit, which recognizes road curvature and detects driver override to set a specific lateral offset as the basis following position, reflecting the driver's preferred position, thereby generating adaptive auxiliary steering torque for lane-keeping control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the lane-keeping control system simply makes the vehicle follow the center of the lane or prevents lane escape, then the lane-keeping control function is provided, but the different driving inclination of each driver is not reflected

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAdaptability to driver inclinationVSAvoidControl system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the basis following position based on detected driver overrides. When a driver override is detected, the system monitors the lateral offset changing rate and determines the driver's preferred position, then sets this as the new basis following position. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to reflect individual driver inclinations without requiring a completely new control architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by monitoring the lateral offset changing rate when a driver override is detected. The basis following position setting unit continuously observes driver steering actions and uses this feedback to determine when the driver has established a preferred position, then adjusts the control target accordingly. This feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to driver preferences while maintaining stable control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the conventional lane-keeping control system performs control without reflecting driver inclination, then the control is simple, but malfunctions and accidents may occur due to conflicts with driver steering intention

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveControl reliabilityVSAvoidControl system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of driver overrides before making control adjustments. When a driver override is detected, the system proactively monitors the lateral offset changing rate and prepares to adjust the basis following position, preventing potential conflicts between automated control and driver intention. This preliminary action approach enhances reliability by anticipating driver needs before conflicts arise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from monitoring the lateral offset changing rate to determine when driver override has stabilized, then adjusts the basis following position accordingly. This feedback mechanism ensures that control adjustments are made only when appropriate, preventing malfunctions while adapting to driver preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system sets a fixed basis following position, then the control is straightforward, but it cannot adapt to different driver preferences on curved roads

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAdaptability to driver preferenceVSAvoidDifficulty in detecting driver override
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system detects driver override by monitoring the lateral offset changing rate and uses this feedback to determine when the driver has established a preferred position. The continuous monitoring of lateral offset changes provides the necessary information to detect driver intentions without requiring additional complex sensors or measurement systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the existing lane-keeping control data and lateral offset information to detect driver overrides and determine driver preferences. By utilizing data already available in the control system, the patent avoids the need for additional complex detection mechanisms while still achieving adaptability to driver preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
