Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing methods use general fuel efficiency evaluation without specific route portion information, then the evaluation process is simple, but the accuracy of fuel consumption estimation is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefuel consumption estimation accuracyVSAvoidroute tracking and evaluation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The route is divided into multiple portions with specific waypoints, and fuel consumption is evaluated separately for each portion. This segmentation allows for more accurate estimation by considering route-specific characteristics rather than treating the entire route as a single unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-stores route information including waypoints and route portions in advance. When evaluating fuel consumption, the system retrieves and uses this pre-prepared route data, which enables accurate portion-specific evaluation without requiring complex real-time route analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing methods are limited to vehicles with similar specifications and driving modes, then the evaluation is more accurate for comparable vehicles, but the applicability in global fuel consumption control systems is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplicability in global fuel consumption control systemsVSAvoidfuel efficiency evaluation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation system is designed to handle multiple vehicle types with different specifications by using route portion-based evaluation. The system can process data from various vehicles traveling on the same route portions, making it universally applicable across different vehicle models while maintaining evaluation accuracy through standardized route segment analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system adapts to different vehicle specifications by adjusting evaluation parameters based on vehicle characteristics. When evaluating fuel consumption for vehicles with different specifications, the system modifies relevant parameters while maintaining the core route portion-based evaluation methodology, enabling both versatility and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If existing methods focus on identifying operational problems rather than generating efficient routes, then vehicle maintenance can be improved, but resource consumption cannot be reduced through driving mode changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving efficiencyVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically generates resource-efficient driving routes by analyzing route portions and their characteristics. Instead of static route planning, the system creates adaptive routes that optimize resource consumption based on real-time and historical data, enabling continuous improvement of driving efficiency and energy utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from fuel consumption evaluations on different route portions to generate improved driving routes. By analyzing actual fuel consumption data from various route segments, the system provides feedback that enables optimization of future routes, creating a continuous improvement cycle for resource efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
