Solution Overview

Problem

Current intelligent traffic systems are inadequate in preventing accidents between pedestrians and vehicles, as they do not effectively facilitate radio communication between pedestrian terminals and onboard devices, limiting the transmission and reception of critical information.

Innovation Solution

A base station and traffic communication system that utilize multiple radio communication schemes, including ARIB STD-T109 for vehicle communication and Bluetooth/WLAN for pedestrian communication, allowing roadside devices to transmit and receive information between vehicles and pedestrian terminals, thereby enhancing accident prevention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single radio communication scheme is used for intelligent traffic systems, then the system complexity is reduced, but the ability to communicate between different device types (pedestrian terminals and onboard devices) is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication compatibility between different device typesVSAvoidbase station configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base station is designed with multiple radio communication schemes (first and second schemes) to support different types of devices. The base station can simultaneously communicate with onboard devices using one scheme and pedestrian terminals using another scheme, making it universally compatible with diverse device types in the intelligent traffic system

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

Solution Approach 2:

The base station acts as an intermediary device that bridges different communication schemes. It receives information from onboard devices via the first communication scheme and forwards it to pedestrian terminals via the second communication scheme, enabling communication between devices that would otherwise be incompatible

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple radio communication schemes are implemented in the base station, then communication between pedestrian terminals and onboard devices is enabled, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-device communication capabilityVSAvoidbase station structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base station integrates multiple radio communication schemes within a single device, enabling it to perform multiple communication functions simultaneously. This multi-functionality allows the base station to serve different device types without requiring separate communication infrastructure

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

3Reliability

If information is transmitted between pedestrian terminals and onboard devices, then accident prevention capability is improved, but the loss of time for information processing and transmission increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccident prevention effectivenessVSAvoidinformation transmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The base station pre-establishes communication channels and maintains readiness to transmit information between pedestrian terminals and onboard devices. By having the communication infrastructure prepared in advance, the system can quickly transmit critical safety information when needed, reducing transmission delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
