Solution Overview
Problem
Current driver assistance devices are not suitable for use in vehicles, as they complicate safe manipulation of vehicle controls and increase cognitive load during physical exercises, which is hazardous for drivers.
Innovation Solution
A device that acquires driving context data to determine risk levels and selects compatible physical exercises, ensuring safe practice by adapting exercises based on vehicle speed, acceleration, direction changes, and road conditions, using vehicle sensors and autonomous driving modes to minimize distraction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If physical exercises are proposed to the driver, then health and well-being are improved, but cognitive load increases and safe manipulation of vehicle controls becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise program dynamically adapts its complexity and type based on real-time driving conditions. The system modifies exercise parameters (intensity, duration, type) according to vehicle speed, acceleration, road conditions, and traffic situation, ensuring exercises remain safe and appropriate for the current driving context while maintaining health benefits
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key parameters of the exercise program based on driving context data. When driving conditions are complex or risky, the system reduces exercise intensity or switches to simpler exercises. When conditions are stable and safe, it can propose more intensive exercises, thus optimizing both health benefits and safety
2Productivity
If complex physical exercises are proposed, then physical activity benefits are improved, but cognitive load increases and driver safety decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors driving context parameters (vehicle speed, acceleration, position, road conditions) and uses this feedback to adjust the exercise program in real-time. This closed-loop control ensures that physical activity effectiveness is maintained while driver safety is never compromised by overly complex exercises during risky driving situations
Solution Approach 2:
The exercise program is dynamic rather than static, adapting its complexity level based on real-time driving conditions. The system can transition between different exercise intensities and types, ensuring optimal physical activity benefits while maintaining safety by reducing complexity when driving conditions deteriorate
3Duration of action of moving object
If the driver focuses on complex exercises, then physical activity is improved, but attention to road conditions decreases increasing risk
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessment of driving conditions before proposing any exercise. It continuously evaluates road conditions, traffic situation, and vehicle dynamics in advance, only proposing exercises when conditions are deemed safe. This preliminary check prevents situations where the driver might be distracted by complex exercises during hazardous road conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses real-time feedback from driving context monitoring to adjust exercise complexity and duration. When road conditions become risky, the system immediately modifies or pauses the exercise program, ensuring that physical activity duration is optimized without ever compromising driver attention to road conditions
