Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for managing road-related infrastructure, such as road surfaces and guardrails, fail to accurately reflect the latest positions due to maintenance and construction, leading to ineffective management when map information is not up-to-date.
Innovation Solution
An infrastructure diagnostic device and method that divides a road into sections by meshes based on sensor information collected from moving vehicles, allowing for real-time determination and management of road section states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If map information is used to divide roads into sections, then infrastructure management can be organized systematically, but the position information becomes outdated due to maintenance and construction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from static map-based road section definitions to dynamic movement path-based sections. The system continuously updates road section information based on actual vehicle movement trajectories, ensuring position accuracy reflects current road conditions despite maintenance or construction changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-divides the ground surface into meshes and prepares the infrastructure management framework in advance. When movement path data becomes available, the system can quickly generate accurate road sections by overlaying the movement paths on the pre-prepared mesh structure, combining systematic organization with up-to-date position information.
2Measurement precision
If actual movement path data is collected to update road positions, then position accuracy is improved, but data collection complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a computational intermediary that processes movement path data. The system collects raw movement data from vehicles, processes it through algorithms that match movement paths with pre-divided meshes, and generates updated road section definitions. This intermediary processing layer simplifies the overall system by automating the complex data matching and section generation tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The ground surface is pre-divided into a mesh structure, and movement paths are segmented into discrete position points. This segmentation allows the system to process large amounts of movement data by comparing individual mesh cells rather than processing continuous geographic information, reducing computational complexity while maintaining position accuracy.
3Ease of manufacture
If road sections are divided based on predetermined mesh sizes, then systematic division is achieved, but adaptability to actual road variations is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing road section definitions to vary locally based on actual movement paths while maintaining the overall systematic mesh structure. Each mesh cell can be independently assigned to road sections based on whether it contains movement path data, enabling the system to adapt to local road variations such as maintenance areas or construction zones while preserving the global systematic organization.
