VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If route-specific data from preceding vehicles is collected and utilized, then energy consumption accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy consumption accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the route into multiple portions and collects data from preceding vehicles for each segment. This allows accurate energy consumption calculation for specific route portions while managing system complexity through modular data collection and processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system collects and stores route-specific data from preceding vehicles before the current vehicle arrives. This preliminary data collection enables accurate energy consumption prediction without requiring complex real-time processing, thereby improving accuracy while controlling system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If data from multiple vehicles with different specifications is utilized, then adaptability is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to diverse vehicle specificationsVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system adjusts energy consumption calculations based on the specific characteristics of each vehicle and route portion. By applying local quality adjustments for different vehicle specifications and route conditions, the system achieves high adaptability while managing data processing complexity through targeted rather than universal processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system modifies energy consumption parameters based on vehicle specifications and route characteristics. By changing parameters dynamically according to vehicle type, weight, and route conditions, the system adapts to diverse vehicle specifications while keeping data processing manageable through parameter-based rather than model-based approaches.

Inventive Principle:

3Manufacturing precision

If detailed speed profiles and energy efficiency evaluations are performed, then track accuracy is improved, but computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrack accuracyVSAvoidcomputational requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the route into multiple portions and generates speed profiles and energy efficiency evaluations for each segment separately. This segmentation improves track accuracy for specific route portions while reducing computational requirements by processing smaller segments independently rather than the entire route at once.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
