Wheel Assembly Warning Lights for Driver Status Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle safety systems relying on external sensing devices often fail to react in time when the vehicle itself is abnormal, leading to potential traffic accidents.
Innovation Solution
A wheel system with integrated sensing and warning modules that detect driver status using millimeter wave radar, image capturing, and alcohol sensors, and emit warning lights via color patterns based on detected conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If sensing devices are mounted on the vehicle to detect other vehicles or surrounding environment, then driving safety is improved, but the system cannot detect when the vehicle itself is abnormal in time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple sensing functions (driver status detection, vehicle abnormality detection, and warning signal emission) into an integrated system mounted on the wheel assembly. This merging allows the system to simultaneously monitor both the driver's condition and vehicle status, eliminating the time delay associated with separate detection systems and enabling immediate warning when either the driver or vehicle is abnormal.
Solution Approach 2:
The wheel assembly is designed as a multi-functional device that not only supports vehicle movement but also houses sensing modules for driver detection, vehicle status monitoring, and warning light emission. This universal design allows a single component to perform multiple safety-critical functions, improving both reliability and response time without requiring separate dedicated systems.
2Loss of information
If multiple sensing modules and warning devices are integrated into the wheel assembly, then driver status awareness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the control device with the wheel assembly, combining multiple sensing modules (for detecting driver status and vehicle conditions) and warning devices (lighting modules) into a single unified structure. This merging reduces the need for separate communication interfaces and control systems, managing complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The wheel assembly is designed as a multi-functional device that not only supports vehicle movement but also houses sensing modules for driver detection, vehicle status monitoring, and warning light emission. This universal design allows a single component to perform multiple safety-critical functions, improving both reliability and response time without requiring separate dedicated systems.

AI summary
A wheel system for a vehicle body includes a control device and a wheel assembly. The control device stores multiple warning conditions, and multiple warning parameters corresponding respectively to the warning conditions, and is configured to detect a target object in the vehicle body so as to generate sensing data. The control device is further configured to, when one of the warning conditions is met based on the sensing data, obtain a corresponding one of the warning parameters that corresponds to the one of the warning conditions, and output a control signal that includes the corresponding one of the warning parameters. The wheel assembly is configured to receive the control signal from the control device, to emit light with one of multiple color patterns which corresponds to the corresponding one of the warning parameters included in the control signal, and to generate electric power.
