Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a traditional sectional braking deceleration model is used with simple input data, then the model structure is simple and easy to implement, but the calculation accuracy of deceleration values is insufficient and cannot handle complex route conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the braking process into multiple speed intervals, with each interval having its own deceleration characteristics. The braking curve is divided into sections based on speed thresholds, allowing different deceleration values to be applied at different speed ranges, thereby improving calculation accuracy while maintaining manageable complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic adjustment of deceleration values based on real-time speed feedback. The system continuously monitors train speed and adjusts the deceleration coefficient dynamically within each speed interval, rather than using fixed deceleration values, which improves accuracy without requiring overly complex model structures
2Adaptability or versatility
If a sectional braking deceleration model with fixed deceleration values is used, then the model is simple to calculate, but it cannot adapt to complex and changeable conditions of train running routes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-calculates and stores optimal deceleration coefficients for different speed intervals and route conditions before actual braking operations. This preliminary preparation allows the system to quickly retrieve and apply appropriate deceleration values during braking, improving both adaptability to different route conditions and calculation efficiency during actual operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the deceleration parameter dynamically based on speed interval and route conditions. By adjusting the deceleration coefficient within predefined ranges according to actual operating conditions, the model achieves better adaptability while maintaining calculation efficiency through structured parameter adjustment rather than complex real-time optimization
