Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manufacturer-specific vehicle control messages are used, then each manufacturer can control their driverless vehicles according to their own circumstances, but technical barriers are formed that prevent other vehicle-related technology companies from developing further
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a standardized vehicle control protocol as an intermediary layer between manufacturer-specific control messages and vehicle execution. This protocol acts as a mediator that translates proprietary messages into universal commands, enabling interoperability while preserving manufacturer customization capabilities. The standardized protocol includes defined message formats, command structures, and communication protocols that facilitate seamless integration among different technology companies.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal vehicle control protocol that can handle multiple types of vehicle control messages from different manufacturers. This standardized protocol is designed to be multi-functional, supporting various vehicle operations (acceleration, braking, steering, etc.) through a common message structure. By implementing universality, the system eliminates technical barriers while maintaining the ability to accommodate manufacturer-specific requirements through configurable parameters and extensible message types.
2Adaptability or versatility
If standardized vehicle control protocol messages are implemented, then interoperability and development among different technology companies are enhanced, but conversion and translation processes are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining standardized vehicle control protocol message structures, command sets, and translation rules before actual vehicle control operations. The standardized protocol includes pre-configured message templates, parameter mappings, and conversion algorithms that are established in advance. This preliminary standardization reduces the complexity of real-time conversion processes, as the translation from manufacturer-specific messages to standardized protocols follows predetermined rules rather than requiring complex runtime analysis.
3Measurement precision
If manufacturer-specific control messages are used, then vehicle control characteristics can be precisely represented, but general instruction description is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by transforming manufacturer-specific control message parameters into standardized protocol parameters through defined mapping relationships. The standardized vehicle control protocol uses configurable parameters that can represent the same control characteristics as proprietary messages but in a universal format. By changing the parameter representation from proprietary to standardized forms while preserving the underlying control semantics, the system achieves both precise control characteristic representation and general instruction capability.

AI summary
Disclosed embodiments include a driverless vehicle control method, apparatus and system. In some embodiments, method comprises: receiving a vehicle control message of a driverless vehicle, the vehicle control message used to represent vehicle control characteristics of the driverless vehicle; converting the vehicle control message to a vehicle control protocol message, the vehicle control protocol message used to implement a general instruction description for the vehicle control message; generating a vehicle control command based on the vehicle control protocol message; and converting the vehicle control command to a vehicle control instruction corresponding to the vehicle control message, and sending the vehicle control instruction to the driverless vehicle. In this way, the vehicle control message can be described by using a general message instruction, achieving the objective of controlling the driverless vehicle by using a general message instruction.
