Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle control systems face challenges in prioritizing and selecting the appropriate control state when multiple control states are executable, particularly in scenarios where lane changes are possible, leading to inefficient vehicle operation.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control apparatus and method that includes a detection unit to gather information and a vehicle control unit to prioritize and select between control states based on driver settings or driving states, allowing for seamless execution of lane changes within overlapping operation condition ranges.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple control states are made executable with overlapping operation condition ranges, then vehicle control flexibility and adaptability are improved, but control state selection complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of control state priority based on operation conditions. When operation conditions fall within the overlapping range, the system switches between prioritizing the first control state and the second control state, allowing flexible adaptation while maintaining manageable complexity through parameter-based selection
Solution Approach 2:
The control state priority is made dynamic rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts which control state to prioritize based on real-time operation conditions, enabling the vehicle control system to adapt to changing situations while resolving the selection complexity through condition-based dynamics
2Ease of operation
If control state prioritization is based on driver settings, then ease of operation is improved, but response time in overlapping ranges increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring control state priorities based on driver settings before actual operation conditions arise. When operation conditions enter the overlapping range, the system can quickly switch between prioritized states without requiring real-time driver input, thus maintaining ease of operation while reducing response time
3Adaptability or versatility
If control state prioritization is based on driving state, then adaptability to real-time conditions is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback from real-time driving state detection to determine control state prioritization. By continuously monitoring operation conditions and adjusting which control state to prioritize accordingly, the system achieves adaptability to real-time conditions while managing complexity through feedback-based automatic adjustment rather than complex multi-parameter analysis

AI summary
A vehicle control apparatus that controls a vehicle based on a plurality of control states, includes a detection unit configured to detect information of the vehicle and peripheral information of the vehicle and a vehicle control unit configured to control the vehicle based on a detection result of the detection unit. In a case in which the vehicle control unit can execute, based on the detection result of the detection unit, a first control state and a second control state, the vehicle control unit controls the vehicle by selecting a control state prioritizing one of the first control state and the second control state in an overlapping operation condition range.
