Solution Overview

Problem

DSRC receivers struggle to identify the transmitter of DSRC messages, rendering the included data less valuable for ADAS and autonomous driving systems.

Innovation Solution

An assistance system that includes software installed in onboard vehicle computers, which proactively asks remote vehicles if they need assistance in identifying the transmitter and provides additional identifying information within the DSRC message to ensure accurate identification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If additional identifying information is included in V2X messages, then transmitter identification accuracy is improved, but message data volume and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmitter identification accuracyVSAvoidmessage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by having transmitters broadcast their identifying information (such as location, speed, heading) in advance through V2X messages. Remote vehicles receive and store this information beforehand, enabling them to quickly match incoming messages with the correct transmitter without complex real-time processing. This preliminary preparation resolves the contradiction by providing identification data ahead of time, improving accuracy while keeping processing simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If V2X messages include comprehensive transmitter state information, then ADAS system performance is improved, but communication bandwidth consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveADAS system performanceVSAvoidcommunication bandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by including different types of information in V2X messages based on specific needs and contexts. Rather than uniformly broadcasting all possible data for every message, the system selectively includes relevant transmitter state information (location, speed, heading) only when and where it is needed for ADAS operations. This selective approach improves ADAS reliability with essential data while conserving bandwidth by avoiding unnecessary transmissions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If remote vehicles request additional identifying information, then transmitter identification capability is improved, but communication overhead and latency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmitter identification capabilityVSAvoidcommunication latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system eliminates communication latency by performing preliminary actions where transmitters automatically broadcast their identifying information without waiting for requests. Remote vehicles receive this information proactively and can immediately perform identification when needed, without initiating time-consuming request-response cycles. This approach maintains high identification capability while avoiding the time loss associated with active querying.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where remote vehicles can indicate their identification needs or difficulties, and transmitters adjust their broadcasting accordingly. This feedback loop allows the system to optimize information transmission based on actual performance, providing additional identifying information only when and where it improves identification capability, thereby minimizing unnecessary communication overhead and latency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An assistance system modifies an operation of a vehicle component based on a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication. A method includes receiving, by a remote vehicle, a request message inquiring what additional identifying information of an ego vehicle the remote vehicle requests so that the remote vehicle has a capacity to identify the ego vehicle as a transmitter of a V2X message. The method includes transmitting a response message including response data that describes the additional identifying information of the ego vehicle that provides the remote vehicle with the capacity to identify the ego vehicle as the transmitter of the V2X message when the ego vehicle is among a plurality of vehicles. The method includes receiving the V2X message that includes assistance data describing the additional identifying information. The method includes modifying the operation of the vehicle component of the remote vehicle based on the assistance data.
