Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing simulation systems are used for V2X services, then individual vehicle terminal simulation is possible, but communication between multiple terminals cannot be performed and system-wide synchronization is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimulation reliabilityVSAvoidmulti-terminal communication capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the simulation function into two segments: a first terminal that generates and transmits log data, and a second terminal that receives and processes the log data. This segmentation enables specialized functions for each terminal while maintaining overall system capability for multi-terminal communication and synchronization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first terminal acts as an intermediary that bridges the gap between individual vehicle terminal simulations and system-wide synchronized communication. It collects log data from multiple vehicles and transmits it to the second terminal, enabling coordinated multi-terminal simulation while maintaining simulation reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If log data from multiple vehicles is processed simultaneously, then comprehensive V2X service verification is possible, but system time synchronization becomes complex and difficult to manage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice verification efficiencyVSAvoidtime synchronization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The second terminal automatically performs time synchronization by extracting timing information from the transmitted log data and adjusting its system clock accordingly. This self-service approach eliminates the need for complex external synchronization mechanisms while enabling efficient processing of multi-vehicle log data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The first terminal prepares and transmits timing information along with the log data before the second terminal processes the data. This preliminary action of including synchronization information in the data transmission simplifies the overall synchronization process and enables efficient parallel processing of multiple vehicle logs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If log data reproduction is performed without time adjustment, then processing is simpler and faster, but synchronization accuracy across multiple terminals deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing simplicityVSAvoidtime synchronization accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The second terminal dynamically adjusts the reproduction time of log data based on the received timing information and system time synchronization results. This parameter change approach maintains operational simplicity while achieving accurate time synchronization by modifying only the time parameter during data reproduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
