Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines passive assist devices, active assist devices, and intelligent driving control systems into a unified vehicle safety system. The control system integrates environmental sensing, driver behavior detection, and trajectory voting strategy modules to provide both safety functions and intelligent path orientation capabilities simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The driving control system is designed to perform multiple functions: it monitors environmental conditions, detects driver behavior, calculates safe paths using trajectory voting, and provides both passive and active safety assistance. This multi-functional system addresses both traditional safety needs and modern intelligent driving requirements.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex calculation process into modular components: environmental sensing module, driver behavior detection module, trajectory voting strategy module, and path calculation module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining intelligent driving control capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The trajectory voting strategy module acts as an intermediary that processes environmental data and driver behavior information before generating path orientation commands. This intermediate processing layer simplifies the overall calculation by breaking down complex real-time decision-making into manageable voting and selection operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If the system uses comprehensive trajectory voting strategy with sliding mode control, then path orientation accuracy is improved, but reaction time may increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary calculations of safe paths and stores trajectory options in advance using the trajectory voting strategy module. When real-time path orientation is needed, the system selects from pre-calculated options rather than computing from scratch, thereby maintaining high accuracy while reducing reaction time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The sliding mode control theory enables the system to dynamically adjust path orientation based on real-time conditions. The control algorithm adapts to changing environmental and driver behavior data, providing accurate path orientation while maintaining fast response through dynamic rather than static calculation approaches.

Inventive Principle:
