Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If fixed parameters are used in model prediction, then prediction accuracy is improved in fixed environments, but prediction accuracy deteriorates in dynamic environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidenvironmental adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static prediction model into a dynamic one by introducing real-time state parameters and environmental factors. The prediction model continuously updates based on current vehicle state (position, speed, acceleration) and environmental conditions, allowing it to adapt to changing environments while maintaining prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters used in prediction from fixed values to dynamic parameters that vary with vehicle state and environment. By incorporating real-time state parameters and environmental factors into the prediction model, the system can adjust its predictions according to current conditions, resolving the contradiction between fixed-parameter accuracy and environmental adaptability.

Inventive Principle:

2Reliability

If multiple control parameters are used in model prediction, then prediction comprehensiveness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol comprehensivenessVSAvoidparameter complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the control parameters into distinct categories: vehicle state parameters (position, speed, acceleration) and environmental parameters (track conditions, signals, obstacles). This segmentation allows the system to manage multiple parameters systematically, improving control comprehensiveness while maintaining manageable complexity through structured parameter organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal prediction framework that handles multiple types of parameters through a unified model structure. The prediction model can process various state parameters and environmental factors using the same computational approach, reducing system complexity while maintaining comprehensive control capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
