Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple different sensor types are used to measure speed, then measurement coverage and functionality are improved, but measurement precision and consistency deteriorate due to variations in sensor types and methods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of measurement by introducing correction parameters that adjust the output values of different sensors. The processor calculates correction parameters based on relationships between multiple sensors and uses these parameters to normalize speed measurements, allowing different sensor types to provide consistent and accurate speed data despite their inherent measurement method differences
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by using multiple sensors to measure speed simultaneously, comparing their outputs, and calculating correction parameters based on the relationships between sensor readings. This feedback mechanism allows the system to continuously adjust and refine speed measurements, improving consistency across different sensor types while maintaining versatility
