Centralized Information Management for Vehicle Failure Recurrence Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to promptly and effectively prevent the recurrence of unforeseen vehicle movements or failures in a work environment, such as lawn mowers, which can lead to accidents or inefficiencies, as they lack a simple and efficient mechanism for sharing failure information and preventing similar incidents across multiple machines.
Innovation Solution
An information management apparatus that communicates with multiple work machines, analyzes failure occurrence information, and transmits recurrence prevention information to other machines, alerting workers and adjusting operations to prevent similar failures by sharing information about failure positions and driving histories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a memory is provided in each vehicle to record movement history and driving operation history for failure investigation, then the ability to analyze failure causes is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information management apparatus as an intermediary server that collects failure information from multiple vehicles via communication interfaces. This centralizes the data storage and analysis function, eliminating the need for each vehicle to maintain complex local memory systems while still enabling comprehensive failure investigation across the fleet.
2Reliability
If failure information is shared across multiple vehicles to prevent recurrence, then the safety and reliability of operations is improved, but the information management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information management apparatus serves multiple functions: collecting failure information from various vehicles, storing it in a centralized database, analyzing the data to identify patterns, and distributing prevention information back to vehicles. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require complex distributed systems into a single manageable platform.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where failure information collected from vehicles is analyzed and converted into prevention information that is fed back to the vehicles. This closed-loop mechanism enables continuous improvement of operational safety without requiring complex real-time processing at each vehicle level.
3Reliability
If prompt provisional prevention measures are implemented to prevent failure recurrence, then the safety of users is improved, but the time available for thorough failure analysis is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of failure information immediately upon collection, identifying patterns and generating prevention recommendations before the next vehicle operation begins. This advance preparation allows prompt safety measures to be implemented without delaying the actual failure analysis process.
