Transport Object Securing to Minimize Airborne Collision Hazards
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing transportation systems lack effective methods to minimize objects becoming airborne during collisions, which can pose safety risks to occupants and others.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that determine objects in a transport that may become airborne during a collision and alter the transport configuration to secure these objects, using sensors and processors to identify and respond to potential hazards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the transport configuration is altered to secure objects, then safety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification of objects that may become airborne during a collision and secures them in advance by altering the transport configuration before the collision occurs. This prevents the harmful effect of airborne objects while maintaining safety without requiring complex real-time intervention systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The transport system automatically detects and secures its own objects using onboard sensors and processors, eliminating the need for external monitoring or manual intervention. The system serves itself by identifying hazards and implementing corrective configuration changes autonomously.
2Measurement precision
If sensors and processors are added to identify objects, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor system is designed to perform multiple functions: identifying objects, determining their characteristics, and providing data for configuration adjustments. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized systems, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while maintaining high measurement precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The processors analyze sensor data and provide feedback to the transport configuration system, creating a closed-loop control system. This feedback mechanism enables precise object identification and automatic configuration adjustment without requiring overly complex standalone identification systems.
