Trackless Vehicle Combination Control for Energy and Destination Trade-offs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Trackless vehicles formed by independent automobiles consume excessive energy, and when multiple automobiles are combined, they are limited to a predetermined destination, failing to satisfy individual driver needs.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that combine multiple automobiles based on destination information, utilizing a server to receive and analyze running information from terminals, generate combining information, and control vehicles to form a single trackless vehicle, optimizing energy consumption and allowing drivers to reach desired destinations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If multiple automobiles are combined to form a single trackless vehicle, then energy consumption is reduced, but individual driver destination needs cannot be satisfied
Solution Approach 1:
The trackless vehicle is segmented into multiple independent automobile units that can operate autonomously. Each automobile retains its own driving capability and control system, allowing it to independently respond to driver destination requirements while maintaining the ability to combine with other units for energy-efficient group travel.
Solution Approach 2:
The combination configuration of the trackless vehicle is dynamic and changeable. Automobiles can dynamically combine or separate based on real-time destination requirements, driver needs, and energy optimization goals. The system transitions between combined and independent states adaptively rather than being fixed in one configuration.
2Use of energy by moving object
If multiple automobiles are combined to form a single trackless vehicle, then energy consumption is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A server acts as an intermediary to manage the combination control of multiple automobiles. The server receives destination information from drivers, determines optimal combination configurations, and coordinates the combining/separating operations. This centralized mediation simplifies the control complexity by providing a single point of decision-making rather than requiring complex peer-to-peer coordination between all vehicle units.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where automobiles continuously report their status, position, and destination requirements to the server. The server processes this feedback information and adjusts combination configurations accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to changing conditions while maintaining manageable complexity through iterative adjustment.
