Innovation Solution

An intelligent browsing apparatus is introduced, featuring an interface module for sending analysis commands and displaying results, and a data analysis module that acquires and analyzes railway centralized signaling monitoring system data, supporting customized analysis tasks and batched parallel processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If predetermined analysis types and parameters are used for railway signal monitoring data, then the system is simple to operate, but the on-site electrician cannot perform customized analysis on concerned acquisition types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomized analysis capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static predetermined analysis configurations to dynamic customizable analysis configurations. Users can dynamically select and configure analysis types and parameters based on specific needs, with the system adapting its behavior accordingly through configurable analysis modules that respond to user inputs in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The analysis system is designed to perform multiple analysis functions through a unified platform. It can handle various acquisition types (turnout curves, analog quantities, alarm information) and multiple analysis types (trend analysis, fluctuation analysis, correlation analysis) within a single system, making it universally applicable to different analysis scenarios without requiring separate specialized systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If more information is acquired to expand railway signal system service, then the monitoring capability is improved, but the data volume exceeds the abilities of basic analysis systems and analysts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring capabilityVSAvoiddata processing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the large volume of acquired data into different categories (turnout curve data, analog quantity data, alarm information) and applies specific analysis methods to each segment. The analysis module divides processing tasks into manageable units that can be handled independently, preventing overwhelming complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The intelligent analysis system acts as an intermediary between the data acquisition system and the users. It automatically processes and analyzes the raw data, extracting meaningful information and presenting it in an understandable format, thereby bridging the gap between the vast amount of acquired data and the limited capacity of basic analysis systems and analysts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Extent of automation

If manual analysis of railway signal monitoring data is performed, then the analysis process is simple, but there is no automatic analysis mechanism and the workload is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic analysis capabilityVSAvoidanalysis efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service automatic analysis by automatically acquiring data, selecting appropriate analysis methods, performing the analysis, and generating results without requiring manual intervention for each analysis task. The analysis module autonomously processes data according to configured parameters, reducing both workload and improving productivity simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
