Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a route search algorithm considers all possible maneuver modes and routes, then the completeness of route planning is improved, but the computational complexity increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroute planning completenessVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the route planning problem into multiple discrete maneuver modes (e.g., lane keeping, lane changing, stopping, swerving, following). By dividing the continuous decision space into distinct modes, the system can evaluate each mode separately using trajectory generation algorithms, reducing the overall computational burden while maintaining comprehensive route coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts the evaluation process by generating trajectories only for relevant maneuver modes based on current driving situations and obstacles. Instead of statically evaluating all possible routes, the system adaptively selects and evaluates only the necessary maneuver modes, reducing computational complexity while maintaining route planning completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If multiple indicators with different weights are applied to maneuver modes, then the precision of route determination is improved, but the complexity of parameter tuning increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter representation by using a standardized set of indicators (search time, reference velocity, lateral movement, longitudinal movement, heading angle) with adjustable weights for each maneuver mode. This parameterization allows precise control over trajectory evaluation while providing a systematic framework for weight adjustment based on driving situations, reducing the arbitrary complexity of parameter tuning.

AI summary

Provided is a training method for determining a driving route of a vehicle. The training method includes extracting a latent vector based on trajectories corresponding to maneuver modes that a vehicle is capable of selecting in a driving situation and training a model for generating route distributions to determine a driving route of the vehicle, based on a driving dataset and the latent vector, in which the trajectories are generated by applying, to a route search algorithm, weights of indicators for maneuvers differently according to the maneuver modes.
