Solution Overview

Problem

Existing road traffic safety management systems are passive and ineffective in preventing accidents and congestion, relying on post-accident measures, and historical data-based strategies fail to account for dynamic traffic conditions.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for active management and control that utilizes real-time traffic data, predictive models, and optimization algorithms to proactively adjust traffic strategies, including speed, lane, and vehicle type management, to minimize accidents and enhance safety and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional passive management methods are used, then response time after accidents is reduced, but accident prevention capability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccident prevention capabilityVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by predicting traffic flow and identifying high-risk sections before accidents occur. The risk prediction model continuously evaluates traffic data to proactively detect potential hazards, enabling preventive management actions to be taken before incidents happen, thus improving accident prevention capability while maintaining rapid response capability through the same predictive framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If historical management and control strategies are used, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to dynamic traffic conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to dynamic traffic conditionsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback mechanisms where traffic flow data is constantly collected, analyzed by the prediction model, and used to dynamically adjust management strategies. The risk prediction results feed back into the decision-making process, enabling the system to adapt to changing traffic conditions in real-time. This feedback loop integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, achieving high adaptability without proportionally increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If real-time traffic data analysis is implemented, then traffic safety prediction accuracy is improved, but computational resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk prediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by focusing computational resources on analyzing only the most critical traffic parameters and high-risk sections identified by preliminary filtering. Rather than processing all traffic data with equal depth, the model concentrates analytical power where it is most needed - on sections with elevated risk indicators - thus achieving high prediction accuracy while minimizing unnecessary computational resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
