Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple separate measuring instruments are used to monitor operating conditions, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate measuring instruments (lean angle sensor, speed sensor, accelerometer, GPS) into a single integrated monitoring system that collects and processes data from all sensors through one control unit, reducing device complexity while maintaining measurement precision
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit serves multiple functions: it receives data from various sensors, analyzes the information, generates feedback, and provides warnings, making a single device perform the work of multiple separate instruments
2Productivity
If real-time data analysis is performed, then productivity is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs selective real-time analysis of operating conditions, focusing computational resources on critical parameters that most impact riding safety and performance, rather than analyzing all sensor data equally, thus reducing energy consumption while maintaining productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides immediate feedback to the motorcyclist about operating conditions, enabling real-time adjustments that improve riding performance and safety without requiring continuous full-power processing of all data
