Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If workload monitoring is not implemented, then system complexity remains low, but work safety deteriorates due to undetected high workload states
Solution Approach 1:
The workload monitoring system is segmented into multiple independent modules: physiological signal acquisition module, eye movement tracking module, EEG signal processing module, and workload assessment module. Each module handles specific sensing and processing tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capability for work safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring system integrates multiple sensing functions (physiological signals, eye movements, brain waves) into a single unified platform that can assess various workload dimensions simultaneously. This multi-functional approach improves work safety coverage without proportionally increasing system complexity, as shared hardware and processing resources serve multiple monitoring purposes.
2Measurement precision
If single-modal sensing is used, then device complexity is low, but measurement precision of workload state deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges physiological signal sensing, eye movement tracking, and EEG monitoring into an integrated multimodal sensing framework. By combining these diverse sensing modalities, the system achieves high-precision workload recognition through complementary information fusion, where each modality compensates for limitations of others, improving measurement precision without linearly increasing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
A central processing platform acts as an intermediary that receives, synchronizes, and fuses data from multiple sensing modalities. This intermediary component coordinates the complex interactions between different sensing systems, enabling accurate workload assessment while managing system complexity through centralized data integration and feature fusion algorithms.
3Reliability
If real-time workload monitoring is implemented, then work safety improves, but loss of time for data processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing of physiological signals, eye movement data, and EEG readings at the sensing stage, extracting key features and preprocessing data before transmission to central processing. This preliminary action reduces the computational burden during real-time workload assessment, enabling timely safety monitoring without excessive data processing delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring system implements continuous real-time processing pipelines that rapidly analyze incoming sensor data streams and generate workload assessments without unnecessary delays. Critical safety-related computations are prioritized and executed with minimal latency, rushing through essential analysis steps to maintain real-time responsiveness for work safety applications.
