Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If detailed representation of V2X communication is implemented in graphical modeling environments, then communication functionality is achieved, but implementation effort and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a V2X communication block as an intermediary component that handles all radio adapter communication details. This block serves as a mediator between the application logic and the radio adapter, automatically managing data exchange, protocol handling, and communication protocols. By using this intermediary, the complexity of detailed V2X communication representation is encapsulated within the block, while the overall system maintains full V2X communication functionality.
2Productivity
If manual translation of block diagrams into program code is performed, then customization is possible, but error-proneness and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated code generation where the graphical modeling environment automatically translates block diagrams into executable program code. The system performs self-service by converting the visual model directly into code without requiring manual programming, thereby eliminating human errors associated with manual translation while maintaining full customization capabilities through the block diagram configuration.
3Ease of operation
If target hardware with radio adapter is used for V2X application execution, then real-world testing is enabled, but setup complexity and configuration effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The V2X communication block is designed with universal functionality that works across different radio adapter types and communication standards. The block automatically adapts to various hardware configurations and protocols (such as IEEE 802.11p, C2C, ETSI ITS-G5) without requiring separate configuration for each hardware type. This multi-functional design simplifies the setup process while enabling comprehensive real-world testing on diverse target hardware platforms.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method for implementing a V2X application on target hardware having a radio adapter, wherein the V2X application is modeled in the form of a block diagram by means of a graphical modeling environment and the block diagram is compiled into a V2X program that can be executed on the target hardware and the V2X program is transferred to the target hardware and executed there. The method for implementing a V2X application is realized in an especially simple and advantageous manner in that a V2X communication block that has at least one radio adapter interface, by means of which data are exchanged between the radio adapter and the V2X communication block, is used to create the block diagram.
