Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle operation systems do not adequately adjust operations based on the manufacturing process, leading to excessive restrictions and reduced workability during unmanned driving.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If uniform unmanned driving information is applied across all manufacturing processes, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but workability deteriorates due to excessive restrictions
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts unmanned driving information based on the current manufacturing process. The control device receives process information and automatically updates speed limits, turning angle limits, and other operational parameters to match the specific requirements of each process stage, transforming static uniform restrictions into dynamic adaptive restrictions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters such as speed limits and turning angle limits according to different manufacturing processes. By modifying these parameters based on process-specific requirements, the system optimizes workability for each stage while maintaining safety, resolving the contradiction between uniform implementation and process-specific optimization.
2Productivity
If high speed limits are set for unmanned driving, then productivity is improved, but safety deteriorates due to increased probability of contact with people
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different speed limits to different manufacturing processes based on local conditions. Processes with high pedestrian traffic receive lower speed limits for safety, while processes with no pedestrians receive higher speed limits for productivity. This localized adaptation resolves the contradiction between uniform safety standards and process-specific optimization.
3Reliability
If steering wheel operation is restricted during unmanned driving, then safety is improved by preventing steering wheel interference, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts steering wheel operation restrictions based on whether a person is present in the vehicle during unmanned driving. When no person is present, the steering wheel can be operated normally. When a person is present, the system automatically restricts steering wheel operation to prevent interference, thus adapting safety measures to actual conditions rather than applying uniform restrictions.
