Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a trained model is used to detect and classify vehicles in images, then detection accuracy is improved, but extensive human-analyzed training images and time-consuming model training are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by using data transmissions from vehicles to pre-label images with accurate vehicle information (type, speed, position) before model training. This preliminary labeling eliminates the need for time-consuming manual annotation of training images, directly reducing training time while maintaining high detection accuracy through pre-prepared labeled data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing vehicles themselves to provide labeling information through their own data transmissions (V2X communications). The vehicles automatically supply their type, speed, and position data, which the system uses to self-label training images without human intervention, dramatically reducing both time and resource requirements for model training.
2Measurement precision
If the system waits for all vehicles to be equipped with V2X technology for optimal performance, then detection accuracy is improved, but the system cannot be effectively deployed before universal V2X adoption
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by utilizing data transmissions only from vehicles that happen to be equipped with V2X technology at any given time, rather than requiring universal V2X adoption. This partial utilization of available data transmissions provides labeling information for some images, enabling the system to function and improve accuracy progressively as more vehicles are equipped, without waiting for complete V2X coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system achieves universality by designing a dual-mode operation that works with both V2X-equipped and non-V2X vehicles. The model can process images with or without data transmission information, making the system deployable immediately regardless of V2X adoption rates, while still benefiting from improved accuracy as more vehicles provide data transmissions.
3Productivity
If convolutional neural networks with reduced parameters are used, then the system complexity is reduced and processing speed is improved, but model training accuracy may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies parameter changes by modifying the training data quality and quantity rather than increasing model parameters. Data transmissions provide precise vehicle attributes (type, speed, position) that enable accurate labeling with fewer parameters needed. The high-quality labeled data from V2X transmissions compensates for the reduced model complexity, maintaining training accuracy while achieving faster processing speeds.
