Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicles without on-board radar systems, such as many aircraft and watercraft, face safety risks due to lack of real-time hazard detection, as traditional radar installations are expensive, energy-intensive, and unsuitable for many vehicles, leading to ineffective hazard prevention mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing a mobile communication network with a remote sensing system to provide real-time navigation data, including radar images, to vehicles via a server entity connected to a cloud account, allowing for enhanced safety without the need for on-board radar systems, by transmitting data through a radio access network and storing information in a cloud service for maintenance and analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If on-board radar systems are installed in vehicles, then real-time hazard detection capability is improved, but vehicle cost, weight, and energy consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The radar detection function is extracted from the vehicle and relocated to ground-based remote sensing systems. The vehicle only receives processed navigation data through mobile communication networks, eliminating the need for on-board radar hardware while maintaining hazard detection capability
Solution Approach 2:
A mobile communication network serves as an intermediary between ground-based remote sensing systems and vehicles. The network transmits real-time navigation data to vehicles, enabling hazard detection without requiring direct radar installation in the vehicle
2Reliability
If on-board radar systems are installed in vehicles, then real-time hazard detection capability is improved, but system cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The expensive radar detection function is extracted from individual vehicles and consolidated into shared ground-based remote sensing infrastructure. This allows multiple vehicles to benefit from the same detection resources, dramatically reducing per-vehicle cost
Solution Approach 2:
Ground-based remote sensing systems serve multiple vehicles simultaneously through the mobile communication network. A single radar installation provides navigation data to numerous vehicles in its coverage area, achieving universal hazard detection capability
3Reliability
If on-board radar systems are installed in vehicles, then real-time hazard detection capability is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The energy-intensive radar transmission and processing functions are extracted from the vehicle and performed by ground-based systems. The vehicle only consumes minimal energy for receiving and displaying navigation data through its mobile communication interface
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of the vehicle actively emitting radar signals and processing returns, the system inverts the approach by having ground systems actively scan and transmit data passively to the vehicle. This eliminates the need for high-power on-board transmitters
4Ease of manufacture
If navigation data is provided via mobile communication network, then radar installation cost is reduced, but data transmission reliability may be affected by network coverage
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple ground-based remote sensing systems and mobile communication towers are merged into a coordinated network infrastructure. This redundancy ensures that navigation data can be transmitted reliably even if individual components fail or experience local coverage issues
