Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional airbag or parachute is used for emergency protection, then the device complexity is low, but the reliability of life protection is insufficient when time is insufficient for deployment
Solution Approach 1:
The protection system is divided into multiple functional modules: shock absorbing part (110) with first, second, and third shock absorbing parts at different locations, shock absorber (120), and airbag (130). Each module performs a specific function in the protection sequence, allowing systematic shock absorption while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The shock absorbing part (110) is activated first to perform preliminary shock absorption before the shock absorber (120) and airbag (130) engage. This preliminary action reduces the impact force early in the collision sequence, creating a staged protection approach that improves overall reliability without requiring all components to activate simultaneously.
2Reliability
If multiple shock absorption components are mounted on the moving object, then the life protection effectiveness is improved, but the weight of the moving object increases
Solution Approach 1:
Different shock absorption components are strategically positioned at specific locations on the moving object: the first shock absorbing part (111) on the wheel support and front bumper, the second shock absorbing part (112) on the side and floor, and the third shock absorbing part (113) on the roof top. This localized placement ensures protection where impact forces are most likely to occur while minimizing unnecessary weight addition.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If systematic shock absorption is implemented with multiple components, then the passenger injury is minimized, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a sequence of cushioning actions: the shock absorbing part (110) provides first-level cushioning upon impact, followed by the shock absorber (120) providing second-level cushioning, and finally the airbag (130) providing third-level cushioning. This beforehand cushioning approach systematically reduces passenger injury through multiple stages of impact mitigation.

AI summary
A life protection device system is proposed. More particularly, the life protection device system includes: a shock absorbing device provided with a shock absorbing part, a shock absorber, and an airbag that are mounted on a moving object so as to absorb impact to protect the life of passengers in a crash or collision of the moving object; a measuring device detecting the shock applied to the moving object; a controller generating a preset driving control signal according to the detected shock of the measuring device; and an artificial intelligence part notifying of an occurrence of a disaster and asking for help from a designated disaster center in response to the driving control signal of the controller, wherein the impact on the passengers is minimized even when the moving object such as a drone, autonomous aircraft, and autonomous vehicle crashes or collides, or falls into a river or sea.
