Solution Overview

Problem

Drivers are often unprepared for emergency situations while driving due to the lack of realistic simulation experiences, leading to shock and potential accidents when unexpected events like ABS activation occur, as they are not familiar with the associated noise and vibration.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle with an emergency simulation mode that includes an input unit for selecting a simulation mode, a controller to determine the vehicle's state and select appropriate operating logic, and an operation unit such as a brake device, steering device, and display device to simulate emergency scenarios, allowing drivers to practice responding to emergencies within a real driving context.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If ABS is operated to prevent slip phenomenon and ensure stable brake power, then braking performance is improved, but driver shock and nervousness increase due to generated noise and vibration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebraking performanceVSAvoiddriver shock and nervousness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by simulating ABS operation conditions before actual emergencies occur. The simulation mode allows drivers to experience ABS activation, noise, and vibration in a controlled environment, preparing them psychologically and physically for real emergency situations without compromising actual braking performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If a separate simulator is used to provide emergency experience, then driver training effectiveness is improved, but accessibility and opportunity for experience decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver training effectivenessVSAvoidaccessibility to simulation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges the simulation function with the actual vehicle by integrating the simulation mode into the vehicle's existing control systems. The controller utilizes available sensors and actuators to recreate emergency conditions within the real vehicle, eliminating the need for separate simulator facilities and making emergency training accessible whenever the vehicle is operated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The vehicle's control system serves multiple functions: it operates the ABS during actual emergencies and simultaneously provides simulation training mode. The same sensors, controllers, and actuators are used for both safety operations and training purposes, making the vehicle itself a universal platform for both protection and education.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If driver experiences emergency operation in real vehicle, then familiarity with noise and vibration is improved, but safety risk during actual emergency may increase if driver becomes overly accustomed to simulation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver familiarityVSAvoiddriver response in actual emergency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by creating different operational modes with distinct characteristics. The simulation mode reproduces local aspects of emergency conditions (noise, vibration, pedal feedback) while maintaining overall system safety through controlled parameters. This allows drivers to experience specific sensory elements of emergencies without the full risk profile, achieving familiarity while preserving safety margins.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
