Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If autonomous vehicle navigation is implemented without remote monitoring, then vehicle autonomy is achieved, but safety and reliability in emergency situations deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
A remote monitoring center acts as an intermediary between autonomous vehicles and emergency response systems. The center receives vehicle status data, detects emergencies, and coordinates response actions, bridging the gap between autonomous operation and human intervention when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring vehicle status and pre-positioning emergency response resources before emergencies occur. The remote monitoring center maintains ready-to-deploy emergency vehicles and personnel at strategic locations based on predicted risk areas.
2Reliability
If comprehensive emergency handling systems are added to autonomous vehicles, then safety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The emergency handling system is segmented into distinct functional modules: detection modules (sensors), processing modules (remote monitoring center), and response modules (emergency vehicles, notification systems). Each module operates independently but coordinates through standardized interfaces, reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The autonomous vehicle's emergency system performs self-detection and self-reporting of emergencies to the remote monitoring center. The vehicle's own sensors and diagnostic systems identify issues and automatically transmit alerts, eliminating the need for additional manual monitoring equipment on board.
3Reliability
If remote monitoring and control systems are implemented, then emergency response capability is improved, but loss of time in system setup increases
Solution Approach 1:
The remote monitoring center is established and operational before any emergencies occur. Vehicle tracking and monitoring systems are pre-installed and activated. Emergency response vehicles and personnel are pre-positioned at strategic locations, enabling immediate response when emergencies are detected without delays in system setup.
