Solution Overview

Problem

Drivers, especially at high speeds, often overlook side lane conditions and react late to abnormal vehicles, increasing the risk of collisions due to decreased attention and delayed reaction times, particularly on high-speed roads with fewer winding curves.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle-mounted driving prediction system that includes an image capturing device, processing device, and output device, which captures and analyzes video sequences to determine if they match a pre-stored prediction model, updating the model based on driving situations and providing warning signals to prevent collisions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the driver focuses on front road conditions at high speed, then the driver can maintain high-speed driving efficiency, but the driver's awareness of side lane conditions decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehigh-speed driving efficiencyVSAvoidside lane condition awareness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection and analysis of side lane conditions using image capturing devices and prediction models before the driver needs to react. The processing device continuously monitors video sequences and predicts potential hazards in advance, allowing the driver to maintain focus on the front road while the system prepares warning information about side lane conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The driving prediction system acts as an intermediary between the complex side lane environment and the driver. The processing device analyzes video sequences, updates prediction models, and generates warning signals that convey side lane information to the driver in a simplified, actionable format, bridging the gap between comprehensive monitoring and driver attention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the driver reacts to abnormal vehicles in side lanes, then collision prevention is possible, but the driver's reaction time is delayed due to decreased attention

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollision prevention capabilityVSAvoiddriver reaction time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of video sequences to detect abnormal vehicles in side lanes before the driver would naturally notice them. The processing device continuously updates the prediction model and prepares warning signals in advance, so that when an abnormal vehicle is detected, the system can immediately alert the driver, effectively reducing the overall reaction time despite the driver's decreased attention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the processing device analyzes the driver's driving situation, updates the prediction model based on video sequences, and provides timely warning signals to the driver. This closed-loop feedback system compensates for the driver's delayed reaction by providing continuous, real-time information about side lane conditions and potential hazards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If the prediction model is continuously updated based on driving situations, then the system's prediction accuracy improves, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by updating only the specific portions of the prediction model that are relevant to the current driving situation. The processing device analyzes video sequences and updates the model based on local changes in the environment and driving conditions, rather than performing complete model retraining, thereby improving prediction accuracy while limiting computational complexity to essential updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
