Solution Overview

Problem

Existing navigation technologies face challenges in determining optimal vehicle paths due to factors like road width, curvature, and complex trajectories, leading to suboptimal navigation experiences.

Innovation Solution

An optimal path selection system that receives a source and destination point, generates planned paths, performs path profiling based on parameters like straight stretches and turn stretches, and selects the best path based on quality analysis incorporating vehicle parameters to ensure smooth navigation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing path planning techniques are used to provide multiple planned paths, then the vehicle can have navigation options, but the paths are not optimal due to unresolved challenges in road width, curvature, and straight stretches

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation optionsVSAvoidpath quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary path profiling analysis on multiple planned paths before final selection. By pre-evaluating path parameters such as straight stretches, turn stretches, and road width characteristics, the system identifies high-quality paths in advance, ensuring both navigation options and path quality are maintained

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system evaluates multiple path parameters including straight stretch length, turn stretch characteristics, and road width to determine path quality. By changing and comparing these parameters across different planned paths, the system selects the optimal path that satisfies both versatility and reliability requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If existing techniques provide planned paths without comprehensive quality analysis, then the navigation system is simple, but user experience is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation simplicityVSAvoiduser experience quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The optimal path selection system automatically performs path profiling and quality determination without requiring user intervention. The system self-evaluates multiple path parameters and selects the optimal path, maintaining ease of operation while significantly improving user experience quality through comprehensive analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback to the user by selecting and recommending the optimal path based on comprehensive quality analysis. This automated feedback mechanism ensures high user experience quality while keeping the interface simple and easy to operate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive path profiling is performed to determine optimal path quality, then navigation accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepath quality assessmentVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The path profiling process is segmented into distinct evaluation components: straight stretch analysis, turn stretch analysis, and road width assessment. By dividing the comprehensive quality analysis into manageable segments, the system achieves high measurement precision while controlling system complexity through modular processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Disclosed subject matter relates to field of vehicle navigation that performs a method of determining an optimal path for navigation of a vehicle. An optimal path selection system may receive a source point and a destination point from a user and may generate one or more planned paths between the source point and the destination point. Path profiling of the one or more planned paths based on one or more path parameters is performed. Quality of the one or more planned paths based on the path profiling and one or more vehicle parameters is determined. Finally, the optimal path is selected from the one or more planned paths based on the quality to navigate the vehicle.
