Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dedicated network devices and traffic detection devices are constructed to realize interconnection between vehicle and road, then the vehicle networking function is improved, but the system structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by enabling street lamps to perform multiple roles: traditional illumination plus vehicle networking infrastructure. The street lamp integrates local area network module, traffic collector, and communication module to provide network access, traffic information collection, and data transmission functions, eliminating the need for dedicated network devices and traffic detection devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges previously separate functions into a single integrated street lamp system. The local area network module, traffic collector, and communication module are combined within the street lamp infrastructure, creating a unified device that replaces multiple dedicated components and simplifies the overall system architecture.
2Adaptability or versatility
If cloud platform and dedicated network devices are constructed for vehicle networking, then comprehensive services are provided, but the configuration requirements and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables vehicles to obtain traffic information and communicate with each other through the street lamp-based local area network without requiring complex cloud platform configurations. The system provides services directly at the edge through the street lamp integration device, reducing dependency on centralized cloud infrastructure and simplifying deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The street lamp integration device serves as an intermediary between vehicles and the traffic information system. It collects traffic information through the traffic collector, manages local area network connections, and transmits information to vehicles via the communication module, eliminating the need for vehicles to directly access complex cloud platforms.

AI summary
A street lamp integration device, a street lamp system and a communication method are disclosed. The street lamp integration device includes a local area network module configured to generate a local area network covering a first range, a traffic collector configured to collect traffic information in a second range and send the same to a communication module and the communication module configured to send the traffic information to a vehicle connected to the local area network. By extensive availability and close mutual distance of street lamps, a local area network is formed within the first range of each street lamp, which helps to to form a network of comprehensive coverage and extensive range. The traffic collector can collect traffic in a certain range and send the same to the vehicle connected to the local area network through the communication module, facilitating awareness of the current traffic by the vehicle.
