Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple vehicles are used to complete transportation tasks, then transportation capacity is improved, but vehicle route conflicts and congestion occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation capacityVSAvoidvehicle route conflicts and congestion
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the transportation task completion process by assigning different sequence orders to different vehicles. The scheduling module divides overall transportation tasks into sub-tasks with defined execution sequences, allowing multiple vehicles to operate simultaneously without conflicts by coordinating their action orders.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The coordination impact value calculation module implements feedback by continuously evaluating the coordination state of multiple vehicles and calculating impact values based on scheduling results. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adjust scheduling parameters dynamically to avoid route conflicts and congestion while maintaining high transportation capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If traditional scheduling methods are used, then scheduling simplicity is maintained, but task completion efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask completion efficiencyVSAvoidscheduling system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The scheduling module performs preliminary actions by pre-determining scheduling parameters including sequence orders for multiple vehicles before task execution. By establishing the coordination framework and task assignment in advance, the system enables efficient multi-vehicle operation without requiring complex real-time coordination during execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The coordination impact value calculation module acts as an intermediary that evaluates scheduling results and provides feedback for optimization. This intermediary mechanism bridges the gap between simple scheduling decisions and efficient task completion by systematically assessing coordination effects without requiring complex direct control between vehicles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If coordination impact value correction is implemented, then scheduling accuracy is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescheduling accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The correction module implements partial correction by adjusting scheduling parameters based on coordination impact values only when necessary. Rather than continuously recalculating all parameters, the system applies corrections selectively to maintain scheduling accuracy while avoiding excessive computational overhead from unnecessary recalculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
