Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If current estimation solutions are used, then the system is simple to operate, but the measurement precision of transportation parameters is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing historical transportation data before estimation is needed. The classifier is trained in advance using historical data, and the system pre-processes transport data by categorizing it into historical patterns. This allows the estimation to be performed quickly and accurately when needed, without complex real-time calculations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a computational model (classifier) that copies and learns from historical transportation data patterns. Instead of directly analyzing complex real-time data, the system uses the trained classifier to map current transport data to historical patterns, effectively copying successful past solutions to predict future outcomes with high precision.
2Reliability
If historical data analysis is performed, then the reliability of transportation parameter estimation is improved, but the loss of time for data processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs data processing in advance by training the classifier on historical transportation data before it is needed for actual predictions. The historical data is analyzed, patterns are extracted, and the classifier is prepared in advance. When actual estimation is needed, the pre-trained classifier quickly maps new data to historical patterns without requiring time-consuming real-time analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The classifier serves itself by automatically learning from historical data and improving its own prediction capabilities. The system uses its own historical performance data to train and refine the classifier, enabling it to become progressively more accurate without requiring external intervention or time-consuming manual analysis for each new prediction.
