Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote control systems face challenges in executing timeout processes that account for varying response times due to vehicle characteristics, leading to reduced versatility and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control device that sets time thresholds based on equipment device and vehicle state characteristics, executing timeout processes to accommodate these variations, ensuring consistent operation across different vehicle types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed timeout threshold is used in remote control systems, then the timeout process is simple to implement, but it cannot accommodate variations in response times due to different vehicle characteristics, leading to reduced versatility
Solution Approach 1:
The timeout threshold is changed from a fixed value to a dynamic value that varies based on vehicle characteristics. The system now determines different timeout thresholds according to the specific vehicle model, equipment device type, and operational state, allowing the timeout process to adapt dynamically to different scenarios while maintaining manageable complexity through structured determination logic
Solution Approach 2:
The timeout threshold parameter is modified to be contingent on multiple factors including vehicle characteristics, equipment device characteristics, and state characteristics. By changing the parameter from static to context-dependent, the system achieves greater versatility without requiring complete redesign of the timeout mechanism
2Reliability
If a fixed timeout threshold is used, then the system structure remains simple, but the timeout process cannot account for different response times of equipment devices, reducing operational reliability
Solution Approach 1:
Different timeout thresholds are assigned to different equipment devices and vehicle states based on their specific characteristics. Each equipment device receives a customized timeout threshold appropriate to its response characteristics, improving reliability by matching the timeout period to the actual operational needs of each component rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach
Solution Approach 2:
The timeout threshold is determined in advance based on vehicle characteristics and equipment device characteristics before the actual operation occurs. This preliminary determination ensures that the appropriate timeout threshold is already established when needed, improving reliability without adding complex real-time decision-making structures
3Measurement precision
If the timeout threshold is determined by vehicle characteristics, then the timeout process becomes more accurate, but the determination process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The timeout threshold determination is divided into distinct segments or steps: first determining vehicle characteristics, then equipment device characteristics, then state characteristics, and finally combining these to establish the timeout threshold. This segmentation makes the complex determination process more manageable and easier to implement by breaking it into discrete, logical steps
