Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for evaluating fuel efficiency in motor vehicles lack accuracy due to the lack of specific route data and are not suitable for global fuel consumption control systems with vehicles of different specifications.
Innovation Solution
A method for generating an energy-efficient track for a motor vehicle involves collecting primary and secondary data, including specific route data and vehicle specifications, to create an estimated track for subsequent vehicles, thereby reducing energy consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If fuel efficiency evaluation is performed using only similar vehicles and driving modes, then evaluation accuracy for specific vehicles is improved, but the system cannot be applied globally across vehicles with different specifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the evaluation approach by changing the parameters used for comparison from vehicle-specific parameters (requiring similar vehicle types and driving modes) to route-specific parameters (route geometry, elevation changes, traffic conditions). This allows the system to evaluate fuel efficiency across vehicles with different specifications by normalizing the evaluation basis to the route itself rather than the vehicle characteristics.
2Measurement precision
If route-specific data is not collected, then the system is simpler to implement, but the accuracy of fuel consumption estimation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a multi-functional data collection system that gathers route-specific data (geometry, elevation, traffic conditions) that can serve multiple purposes: evaluating fuel efficiency for different vehicle types, optimizing routing for various vehicle specifications, and providing a universal basis for comparison across diverse vehicle fleets. This universal data set replaces multiple specialized data collection systems.
3Loss of energy
If energy-efficient track generation is implemented, then energy consumption is reduced, but the system requires complex data processing and track optimization algorithms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-collecting and storing route-specific data (geometry, elevation profiles, traffic patterns) before fuel efficiency evaluation is needed. This pre-processing creates a ready-to-use database that simplifies subsequent evaluations, as the system only needs to query and analyze pre-organized data rather than collecting and processing raw data in real-time.
