Solution Overview

Problem

In Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), the incomplete database of road users' telematics data due to non-participating vehicles not sending Cooperative Awareness Messages (CAMs) limits the optimal utilization of V2X communication, resulting in suboptimal performance.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that uses a graphical modeling environment to create a V2X application with a telematics data comparison block, which identifies difference environment objects by comparing the Local Dynamic Map (LDM) object list with the sensor-object list, generating proxy V2X messages for missing objects, and sending these messages through a wireless adapter to ensure more complete data dissemination.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If only participating vehicles send Cooperative Awareness Messages (CAMs), then the communication load is reduced, but the database of road users' telematics data becomes incomplete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of telematics data databaseVSAvoidV2X communication utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a proxy message mechanism where a receiving vehicle acts as an intermediary to forward telematics data of non-participating vehicles. The proxy CAM contains the environment object's telematics data (position, speed, direction) that would otherwise be unavailable, allowing other road users to obtain complete information without requiring every vehicle to transmit its own CAM continuously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If proxy V2X messages are generated and transmitted for missing objects, then the dissemination of telematics data is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedissemination of telematics dataVSAvoidcomplexity of V2X application
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary comparison between the local dynamic map (LDM) object list and sensor object list to identify difference environment objects before generating proxy messages. This preliminary identification step ensures that proxy CAMs are only created for objects that are actually missing from the LDM, avoiding unnecessary message generation and reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different processing rules to different types of environment objects. Participating vehicles that send their own CAMs are handled through normal V2X communication, while non-participating vehicles are identified and handled through the proxy message mechanism. This localized differentiation reduces unnecessary complexity in the overall system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
