Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies lack an effective method to predict the movement paths of vulnerable road users (VRUs) in wireless communication systems, particularly in sidelink communications.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for generating a VRU path map by collecting path data from multiple VRU messages, determining joints where multiple paths branch, generating node information for each path, and creating a VRU path map that includes this information, which is then transmitted to neighboring VRUs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If path prediction capability is improved by collecting and analyzing multiple VRU messages, then measurement precision of VRU movement paths is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for path map generation and transmission mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveVRU movement path prediction accuracyVSAvoidpath map generation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the VRU path prediction into discrete components: collecting VRU messages, determining joints where paths branch, generating node information for each path segment, and creating the VRU path map. This segmentation allows complex path analysis to be broken down into manageable processing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting path data from multiple VRU messages before generating the final path prediction. The path map is constructed in advance with node and joint information, enabling subsequent efficient queries and predictions without reprocessing the entire message history.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the system collects and processes multiple VRU messages to generate accurate path maps, then reliability of VRU movement prediction is improved, but loss of time increases due to data collection and processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveVRU path prediction reliabilityVSAvoidtime for path map generation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes VRU messages to extract path data, determine joints, and generate node information before actual prediction is needed. This preliminary action stores the processed information for rapid retrieval, reducing real-time processing time while maintaining high reliability through comprehensive data analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a simplified representation (copy) of the complex VRU movement data in the form of a path map with nodes and joints. This copy contains the essential prediction information in a compressed format that can be quickly queried without reprocessing the original message data, thus reducing time loss while preserving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
