Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If communication via network is performed, then information notification is achieved, but data communication may delay depending on loads on the network
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between different detection units (radar, camera, communication device) based on vehicle speed conditions. At low speeds, radar and camera detect surrounding vehicles directly. At high speeds, the communication device detects vehicles more efficiently, avoiding network communication delays for immediate detection needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection control unit changes the operating parameters by selecting different detection units based on vehicle speed thresholds. This parameter change optimizes the detection system's performance for different speed conditions, preventing communication delays from affecting safety-critical detection.
2Reliability
If multiple detection units are used, then detection coverage is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection system is segmented into multiple specialized units (radar for short-range, camera for medium-range, communication device for long-range). Each unit handles specific detection scenarios, improving overall coverage while managing complexity through functional division.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection control unit serves as a universal controller that manages multiple detection units, switching between them based on conditions. This multi-functional controller consolidates the complexity management, allowing the system to achieve comprehensive detection coverage without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
3Productivity
If detection units are switched based on vehicle speed, then information notification efficiency is improved, but control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection control unit implements dynamic switching logic that automatically adjusts which detection unit is active based on real-time vehicle speed information. This dynamic adaptation improves notification efficiency by selecting the optimal detection unit for current conditions without requiring manual intervention or complex control algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-adjustment by automatically selecting appropriate detection units based on vehicle speed thresholds stored in the control unit. This self-service capability eliminates the need for external control complexity, as the system autonomously optimizes its detection configuration based on operating conditions.
