Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If vehicle status information is collected and analyzed using AI and big data, then predictive control capability is improved, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictive control capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the predictive control function into multiple components: vehicle terminals for data collection, big data service providers for analysis, and controllers for execution. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall reliability while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A big data service provider acts as an intermediary between vehicle terminals and controllers, processing complex AI analysis and transforming raw status information into actionable predictive control commands. This intermediary handles the computational complexity centrally, allowing vehicle terminals to remain relatively simple while achieving advanced predictive capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If real-time status information is collected from multiple vehicles, then prediction accuracy is improved, but data transmission and processing load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoiddata transmission load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only relevant status information from vehicles for transmission to the big data service provider, rather than transmitting all raw data. This selective extraction maintains prediction accuracy by focusing on critical parameters while significantly reducing data transmission load and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Data from multiple vehicles is merged and aggregated at the big data service provider, allowing the system to leverage collective information for improved prediction accuracy. This centralized merging approach enables comprehensive analysis without requiring each individual vehicle to process and transmit excessive data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If predictive control is implemented to prevent engine stall and failure, then vehicle safety is improved, but control intervention complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle safetyVSAvoidcontrol intervention complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of status information to predict potential engine failures before they occur. By identifying risk patterns in advance using AI and big data, the system can prepare appropriate control interventions, improving vehicle safety while managing complexity through proactive rather than reactive control strategies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop where predicted risk information is continuously communicated from the big data service provider to vehicle controllers, which then execute appropriate control actions. This feedback mechanism enables systematic management of control intervention complexity by providing structured guidance based on predictive analysis results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
