Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If LiDAR and complex detection systems are deployed in traditional vehicles, then dangerous driving behavior detection capability is improved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedangerous driving behavior detection capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the detection task into multiple specialized modules: LiDAR for 3D spatial detection, camera for visual recognition, GPS for location tracking, and separate analysis modules for different types of dangerous behaviors. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while working together to solve the overall detection problem.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The detection system is designed with multi-functionality to handle various types of dangerous driving behaviors (sudden acceleration, hard braking, lane drifting, etc.) using a unified platform. The system can adapt to different detection scenarios and behavior types without requiring completely separate systems, thereby managing complexity while maintaining comprehensive detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If real-time monitoring and analysis of driving behavior is implemented, then road safety is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroad safetyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously collecting and pre-processing driving data in real-time, even before dangerous behavior occurs. Baseline driving patterns are established in advance, allowing the system to quickly compare current behavior against predefined safety thresholds and detect anomalies immediately when they occur, reducing processing time during critical moments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements selective monitoring that skips routine normal driving behaviors and focuses computational resources on detecting specific dangerous patterns. When the system identifies potential dangerous behavior indicators, it rushes through the analysis and warning generation process to provide timely alerts, thereby reducing effective processing time for safety-critical events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive driver behavior monitoring is implemented, then detection accuracy is improved, but driver privacy concerns increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoiddriver privacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the specific behavioral parameters necessary for detecting dangerous driving (acceleration patterns, braking force, lane position deviations) while excluding unnecessary personal information. By taking out only the essential detection data and discarding extraneous privacy-sensitive information, the system maintains detection accuracy while minimizing privacy intrusion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary approach by processing driving behavior data through automated algorithms that objectively analyze patterns without making subjective judgments about the driver. The intermediary computational layer transforms raw sensor data into standardized behavior metrics, maintaining accuracy while creating a buffer that protects driver privacy by not requiring direct human interpretation of personal driving habits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method, apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for warning of dangerous driving behavior, the method comprising: acquiring point cloud data collected by a LiDAR and dividing the point cloud data into ground point cloud data and non-ground point cloud data. Ground objects are identified based on the ground point cloud data, while non-ground objects are identified based on the non-ground point cloud data. Based on the motion changes of the vehicle relative to the ground objects and/or non-ground objects, it is determined whether the driver exhibits dangerous driving behavior, and real-time warnings are provided when dangerous driving behavior occurs.
