Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional methods are used to identify tire capacity, then the identification process is simple, but the accuracy of tire capacity identification across all conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetire capacity identification accuracyVSAvoidmodeling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the tire capacity identification process into distinct operational regions (linear region, nonlinear region, saturation region) and develops specific modeling approaches for each region. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high accuracy across all conditions by applying region-specific models rather than attempting a single universal model, thereby resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and model complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic identification model that adapts to different tire operating conditions in real-time. The system dynamically determines the current operational region based on measured parameters and switches between different modeling approaches accordingly. This dynamic adaptation enables accurate tire capacity identification across varying conditions without requiring an overly complex static model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a comprehensive model covering all slip conditions is developed, then the adaptability improves, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage of working conditionsVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by developing specialized measurement and modeling approaches for different slip conditions (pure longitudinal slip, pure lateral slip, combined slip). Each condition has its own characteristic measurement requirements and modeling parameters. This localized approach enables comprehensive coverage of all working conditions while managing measurement complexity by focusing on condition-specific parameters rather than attempting to measure everything simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes to simplify detection and measurement across different slip conditions. By transforming raw sensor data into normalized parameters and identifying characteristic parameter patterns for each operational region, the system achieves comprehensive adaptability while reducing measurement complexity. The model monitors changes in key parameters to determine operational state and switch between modeling approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If machine learning algorithms are used for modeling, then the identification accuracy under complex conditions improves, but the loss of time for training and computation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracy under complex conditionsVSAvoidmodel training and computation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training machine learning models during the offline phase using extensive tire test data covering all possible operating conditions. The models are pre-trained to recognize patterns and characteristics of different slip conditions and operational regions. During real-time operation, the pre-trained models require minimal computation time, as they only need to evaluate the current state against the pre-established models rather than performing complex training computations. This resolves the contradiction by shifting computational burden to the offline training phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
