Method for changing vehicle transport system into secure state

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for changing a vehicle transport system into a secure state, wherein at least one vehicle is put into a transport state by at least one transport robot of the vehicletransport system and is transported to a parking place, a dangerous situation for the at least one vehicle put into the transport state by the transport robot is detected during the transport of theat least one vehicle to the parking place and by at least one control device of the at least one transport robot connected to at least one robot-internal sensor or by a central control unit of a parking management system of the vehicle transport system connected to at least one robot-external sensor, and the at least one transport robot is tested for faults by the control device or the parking place management system is tested for faults by the central control unit, and, when a dangerous situation or a recognised fault is ascertained, the vehicle is set down by the at least one transport robotfor producing a ground contact. The invention further relates to a vehicle transport system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for transferring a vehicle transport system into a safe state and a method for automatically removing at least one vehicle from a removal area and for parking the at least one vehicle in a parking area A vehicle transport system having: at least one transport robot for placing the at least one vehicle into a transport state and for transporting the at least one vehicle from a pick-up area to a parking area; and parking A management system for monitoring the transport route of the at least one transport robot. Background technique [0002] Fully automated parking buildings and parking facilities are known which have robots for transporting vehicles. In this case, the transport robots are able to individually lift the vehicle and transport it automatically from the removal area to the parking area. Alternatively, there are transport robots with transportable pallets as parking areas on which vehicles can be parked so t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Such transport robots can generally only be used in parking garages or parking facilities specially designed for this purpose, since it is difficult to safely take care of several transport robots operating in parallel and other traffic participants, especially in error situations

For example, a transport robot of this type may continue driving uncontrollably in wrong situations and cause damage to the transported vehicle or other parked vehicles

Especially when driving uncontrolled downwards on slopes, high speeds with high potential hazards can be reached by the transport robot
