Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional autonomous driving planning modules use generic vehicle kinematic models and feedback controllers, then the system can operate with simple control logic, but the lane planning and control behavior does not reflect human driving preferences and variability

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by collecting and storing recorded human driving data before operation, and by generating personalized lane control models in advance based on this data. This allows the system to adapt to human preferences without computing complex models in real-time, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses copying by creating personalized lane control models that replicate human driving behavior patterns from recorded data. Instead of implementing complex real-time analysis of human preferences, the system copies proven human driving patterns into predictive models that guide autonomous vehicle control, achieving human-like adaptability with manageable complexity.

AI summary

The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementation of lane planning in an autonomous vehicle. Sensor data are received that capture ground images of a road the autonomous vehicle is on. Based on the sensor data, a current lane of the road that autonomous vehicle is currently occupying is detected. Information indicating presence of a passenger in the vehicle is obtained and used to retrieve a personalized lane control model related to the passenger. Lane control for the autonomous vehicle is planned based on the detected current lane and self-aware capability parameters in accordance with the personalized lane control model. The self-aware capability parameters are used to predict operational capability of the autonomous vehicle with respect to a current location of the autonomous vehicle. The personalized lane control model is generated based on recorded human driving data.
