      title = {Patent review and novel design of vehicle classification  system with TRIZ.},
      abstract = {The classification and counting of vehicles play a crucial  role in transportation engineering. With the growth of  technology, the automated vehicle classification system has  improved over the last few decades. To avoid reinventing  the wheel, a patent review is a must. In many engineering  disciplines, the TRIZ method is used to guide further  inventive improvement. This article studies the development  trend of the vehicle classification system and the  appropriateness of the TRIZ tool. Twenty-two relevant  patents have been selected for the investigation. Through  the proposed solutions documented in related patents, their  contradicting parameters and inventive principles are  identified. Inventive principles are also predicted from  TRIZ contradiction matrices from both Altshuller and Mann  and it is found that using Mann's contradiction matrix is  more accurate. The development direction is reviewed with  the TRIZ evolution trend and is presented visually as an  evolution potential radar plot. Finally, a novel design of  vehicle classification system is proposed.},
