Abstract
Introduction. Modern transport is undergoing a radical transformation due to the introduction of information and intelligent systems. This process is characterized by uncertainty and unpredictability. The article attempts to consider theoretically the process of transition to a new quality. The purpose of the study is to develop a maturity matrix for the Automobile technical system, which would allow us to assess its possible future states.
Materials and methods. To analyze the trends in the development of technical systems, various theoretical models and scales (S-shaped life cycle curve, scale of technological readiness, levels of transport autonomy, etc.) are used today, which do not take into account factors of an economic, social, infrastructural, and other aspects. Meanwhile, such a type of transport as a car is characterized by a high level of complexity, largely determines the state of the country’s transport system, and therefore requires a radically different way of assessment. The analytical apparatus of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TIPS) was used to develop the matrix.
Results. The maturity matrix is presented, which reflects the process of the sequential transition of the functions of the technical system “Automobile” to the supersystem. Each stage of this transition means the reduction of one of the car subsystems, and is currently being occurred in the “Calculator” subsystem. Ultimately, a car (in its modern sense) can be radically transformed by reduction of all subsystems and transferring their functions to an intelligent transport system. As a result, its structure will be reduced to the “Accumulating” subsystem with the corresponding mono-function.
Discussion and conclusion. A theoretical understanding of structure and stages of technical evolution, formulated in the form of the maturity matrix, can be useful in developing a strategy for the progress of automobile construction and road industry.
