Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of parking management, and in particular to a vehicle parking management method. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous acceleration of the urbanization process and the continuous increase in the number of automobiles, the parking problem has become increasingly prominent and has become an important issue that needs to be solved urgently in urban development. To effectively address this challenge, intelligent parking technology has emerged. As an innovative solution, it fully integrates various advanced technological means such as wireless communication technology, mobile terminal technology, and GPS positioning technology.

[0003] The core objective of intelligent parking technology is to provide convenient query, reservation, and integrated parking guidance services by real-time updating parking space resource information, thereby greatly improving the utilization efficiency of parking space resources and further optimizing the parking experience of users.

[0004] However, in the actual application process, there are still some deficiencies in the existing intelligent parking technology that need to be improved urgently. Specifically, during the parking process of the vehicle, the locking and unlocking of the ground lock lack sufficient flexibility and security. The root cause of this problem is that there is no effective and reliable permission verification mechanism between the ground lock and the vehicle. Due to the absence of this mechanism, unauthorized vehicles may mispark or maliciously occupy parking spaces, which poses a serious threat to parking safety and seriously disrupts the management order of the parking lot.

[0005] Therefore, in order to effectively ensure parking safety and improve the management efficiency of the parking lot, it is necessary to make necessary improvements and enhancements to the existing intelligent parking technology. This is not only an urgent need to meet the urban parking demand and alleviate the parking problem, but also an inevitable requirement to promote the sustainable and healthy development of intelligent parking technology and better serve urban construction and people's lives.

[0068] An embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle parking management method, which is applicable to the scenario where a vehicle parks in a parking space after entering a parking lot. The aim is to optimize the parking process, improve parking efficiency, and ensure the safety and reliability of the parking process through innovative technical means. This method is applied to a vehicle parking management system, which includes a vehicle, a ground lock, a cloud platform, and a terminal. The vehicle is directly connected to the ground lock through V2X / 5G communication to achieve low-latency control instruction transmission; the cloud platform serves as the center to coordinate resource scheduling and blockchain authentication, and the terminal provides an interaction interface, such as Figure 1 as shown

[0069] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 , which is a schematic flowchart of a vehicle parking management method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This method is applied to the cloud platform and specifically includes the following steps:

[0070] S201. After the vehicle enters the parking lot, generate a temporary token and send it to the vehicle.

[0071] It should be noted that when the vehicle enters the parking lot, the cloud platform will generate a unique temporary token. This temporary token is the identity identifier of the vehicle during this parking process and is used for subsequent identity verification and permission management.

[0072] The temporary token will be sent to the vehicle, and the vehicle will save this token for use in subsequent parking requests.

[0073] S202. Determine a number of candidate parking spaces from the currently available parking spaces and send them to the vehicle for the user to select one of the candidate parking spaces as the target parking space, and trigger the vehicle to perform the following processing: The vehicle generates a parking request and dynamically signs the parking request to obtain a signature result; the parking request includes a timestamp, an expected parking duration, the target parking space, and the temporary token.

[0074] It should be noted that the cloud platform will monitor the status of the parking spaces in the parking lot in real time and select a number of available parking spaces as candidate parking spaces.

[0075] These candidate parking spaces will be sent to the vehicle, and the user can view these candidate parking spaces through the interface or application in the vehicle and select one of them as the target parking space.

[0076] After the vehicle determines the target parking space, it will generate a parking request. This request contains a timestamp (to ensure the validity of the request), an expected parking duration, the target parking space, and the temporary token received previously.

[0077] The vehicle will perform a dynamic signature on this parking request to generate a signature result. This signature result is the encryption and verification of the content of the parking request, which is used to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the parking request.

[0078] S203. After the vehicle arrives at the target parking space and sends the signature result to the ground lock of the target parking space, receive the signature result forwarded by the ground lock and verify whether the signature result is valid; if so, execute S204, if not, execute S205.

[0079] It should be noted that when the vehicle arrives at the target parking space, it will send the previously generated signature result to the ground lock of the target parking space.

[0080] After receiving the signature result, the ground lock will forward it to the cloud platform.

[0081] The cloud platform will verify whether this signature result is valid. The verification process includes checking the integrity of the signature, verifying the validity of the temporary token, and confirming whether the information in the parking request (such as the timestamp, target parking space, etc.) is accurate.

[0082] If the signature result is valid, execute step S204; if it is invalid, execute step S205.

[0083] In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the vehicle sends the signature result to the ground lock through a 5G slice network.

[0084] It should be noted that in the vehicle parking management scenario, the vehicle needs to quickly and reliably send the signature result to the ground lock so that the ground lock can unlock in time and allow the vehicle to park. The 5G slice network can provide low-latency and high-reliability communication services by optimizing network configuration and resource allocation, ensuring the fast transmission and accurate verification of the signature result.

[0085] Moreover, the 5G slice network supports logical isolation between network slices, which means that data communication between different services will not interfere with each other. In the vehicle parking management scenario, this can ensure that the communication data between the vehicle and the ground lock will not be stolen or tampered with by other services or devices, thus guaranteeing the security of the parking process.

[0086] In addition, with the increase in the number of vehicles and the diversification of parking demands, the parking management system needs to be continuously expanded and optimized. The 5G slice network supports flexible network configuration and resource adjustment, and can dynamically create and manage different network slices according to actual needs to meet the communication requirements of different vehicles and parking scenarios.

[0087] S204. Send an unlock instruction to the ground lock to trigger the ground lock to unlock, so as to allow the vehicle to park in the target parking space.

[0088] It should be noted that if the signature result verification passes, it indicates that the vehicle has the legal permission to park in the target parking space. At this time, the cloud platform will send an unlocking instruction to the ground lock of the target parking space. This instruction is digital and is usually transmitted to the ground lock through the network. In this embodiment, specifically, it is transmitted to the ground lock through V2X communication. V2X (Vehicle to Everything) is an advanced short-range communication technology that can achieve comprehensive interconnection between the vehicle and the surrounding environment, including communication between vehicle and vehicle (V2V), vehicle and infrastructure (V2I), vehicle and pedestrian (V2P), and vehicle and network (V2N). Through V2X communication technology, the vehicle can quickly and accurately send the unlocking instruction to the ground lock, ensuring that the ground lock can be unlocked in time after receiving the instruction, so as to allow the vehicle to safely and smoothly park in the target parking space. This communication method not only improves the automation degree of the parking process but also enhances the security and reliability of the parking management system.

[0089] After receiving the unlocking instruction sent by the cloud platform, the ground lock will perform an unlocking operation. This usually involves changes in physical mechanisms, such as the motor driving the lock tongue to retract, so that the ground lock no longer blocks the vehicle from parking.

[0090] After the ground lock is unlocked, the vehicle can smoothly park in the target parking space. At this time, the cloud platform may record information such as the parking time of the vehicle and the parking space number for subsequent billing and management.

[0091] S205. Instruct the ground lock to remain locked.

[0092] It should be noted that if the signature result verification sent by the vehicle fails, it indicates that the vehicle may not have the legal permission to park in the target parking space. This may be caused by reasons such as signature tampering, invalid temporary token, expired timestamp, or mismatch of target parking space information.

[0093] In the case where the signature result verification fails, the cloud platform will instruct the ground lock to remain in the locked state. This means that the ground lock will not perform the unlocking operation and continue to block the vehicle from parking.

[0094] Since the ground lock remains in the locked state, the vehicle cannot park in the target parking space. At this time, the vehicle may need to reselect a parking space or perform other operations to obtain valid parking permission. For example, the vehicle can contact the parking lot management personnel, regenerate the parking request, or select other available parking spaces.

[0095] In the case where the vehicle cannot park in the target parking space, the cloud platform may record relevant information, such as the time when the vehicle attempts to park and the target parking space number, for subsequent analysis and improvement of the parking management method. At the same time, the parking lot management personnel can also provide necessary assistance and guidance according to the actual situation.

[0096] In summary, in this embodiment, the advanced technology of dynamic signature and verification is ingeniously integrated throughout the entire process of vehicle parking, aiming to fundamentally solve the problems of insufficient flexibility and poor security in the locking and unlocking operations of ground locks in the current intelligent parking technology field. The introduction of the dynamic signature and verification technology constructs a solid and reliable permission verification barrier between the vehicle and the ground lock. This mechanism ensures that only when the vehicle has the corresponding parking permission can the ground lock be successfully unlocked and the vehicle can be smoothly parked in the designated parking space, effectively avoiding the risk of unauthorized vehicles occupying the parking space due to misoperation or malicious behavior, and effectively maintaining the safety and order of the parking environment.

[0097] The implementation of this method not only greatly improves the management efficiency of the parking lot, making the operation of the parking lot smoother and more orderly, but also significantly optimizes the user's parking experience. While enjoying the convenient parking service, users can also feel a more secure and reliable parking guarantee. More importantly, this innovative vehicle parking management method injects new vitality into the sustainable and healthy development of intelligent parking technology, provides solid technical support and guarantee, and promotes the intelligent parking field to move towards a higher level and deeper level.

[0098] In one implementation manner of this embodiment, S202 can be further refined into the following steps:

[0099] S2021. Determine a number of candidate parking spaces that match according to the size of the vehicle from a number of currently idle parking spaces.

[0100] It should be noted that when the vehicle enters the parking lot, the cloud platform will first obtain the size information of the vehicle. This can be achieved through sensors, camera recognition or manual input by the vehicle itself.

[0101] Then, the cloud platform will screen out the candidate parking spaces that match it from the currently idle parking spaces according to the size of the vehicle. For example, for large SUVs or trucks, the cloud platform will select parking spaces with larger spaces; for small cars, parking spaces with moderate spaces can be selected.

[0102] The purpose of doing this is to ensure that the vehicle can be smoothly parked in the parking space, avoiding parking difficulties or damage to the vehicle and parking space facilities caused by inappropriate parking space size.

[0103] S2022. Determine whether the vehicle is an electric vehicle; if so, execute S2023, if not, execute S2024.

[0104] It should be noted that after determining the candidate parking spaces that match the vehicle size, the cloud platform will further determine whether the vehicle is an electric vehicle. This can be achieved by identifying the vehicle's identification, license plate number, or manual selection by the user, etc.

[0105] If the vehicle is an electric vehicle, step S2023 is executed; if the vehicle is not an electric vehicle, step S2024 is executed.

[0106] This judgment in this step is to meet the special requirements of electric vehicles for charging facilities and ensure that electric vehicles can be parked in parking spaces with charging conditions.

[0107] S2023: Screen out several of the candidate parking spaces that are rechargeable and relatively close, and send them to the vehicle for the user to select one of the candidate parking spaces as the target parking space, and trigger the vehicle to perform the following processing: The vehicle generates a parking request and dynamically signs the parking request to obtain a signature result; the parking request includes a timestamp, an expected parking duration, the target parking space, and the temporary token.

[0108] It should be noted that for electric vehicles, the cloud platform will further screen out parking spaces with charging facilities and relatively close distances from the previously determined candidate parking spaces.

[0109] These screened parking spaces will be sent to the vehicle, and the user can see these parking spaces through the interface or application in the vehicle and select one of them as the target parking space.

[0110] After the vehicle determines the target parking space, it will generate a parking request and dynamically sign the request to obtain a signature result. The parking request contains information such as a timestamp, an expected parking duration, the target parking space, and the temporary token.

[0111] The processing flow in this step is similar to the original flow in S202, but it is optimized specifically for electric vehicles to ensure that electric vehicles can be parked in suitable charging parking spaces.

[0112] S2024: Screen out several of the candidate parking spaces that are relatively close, and send them to the vehicle for the user to select one of the candidate parking spaces as the target parking space, and trigger the vehicle to perform the following processing: The vehicle generates a parking request and dynamically signs the parking request to obtain a signature result; the parking request includes a timestamp, an expected parking duration, the target parking space, and the temporary token.

[0113] It should be noted that for non-electric vehicles, the cloud platform will screen out parking spaces that are relatively close from the previously determined candidate parking spaces.

[0114] These selected parking spaces will also be sent to the vehicle for the user to choose from.

[0115] After the vehicle determines the target parking space, it will also generate a parking request and perform a dynamic signature on this request to obtain a signature result. The content in the parking request is the same as that in S2023.

[0116] The processing flow of this step ensures that non-electric vehicles can park in relatively close parking spaces, improving the convenience and efficiency of parking.

[0117] Please refer to Figure 3 , in one implementation manner of this embodiment, an optimization is made on the basis of Figure 1 , specifically, a pre-step is added before step S201, which is as follows:

[0118] S101. When the vehicle wants to enter the parking lot, scan the license plate or electronic identification of the vehicle.

[0119] It should be noted that the purpose of this step is to identify and obtain the vehicle's identity information.

[0120] By setting up an RSU (Road Side Unit) at the entrance of the parking lot, when a vehicle with a V2X module approaches, it automatically scans and reads the license plate number or electronic identification information of the vehicle to provide basic data for verifying the vehicle's entry permission in the consortium blockchain later.

[0121] Among them, the license plate is the unique physical identifier of the vehicle, and the electronic identification is a remotely readable device installed on the vehicle for providing the vehicle's electronic identity information.

[0122] S102. According to the license plate or electronic identification, verify in the consortium blockchain whether the vehicle has the entry permission; if so, execute S103, if not, execute S104.

[0123] It should be noted that the consortium blockchain is a type of blockchain jointly maintained by multiple organizations or institutions, with characteristics such as decentralization, immutability, and traceability. In the parking lot management scenario, the consortium blockchain can be used to store and manage vehicle entry permission information.

[0124] The cloud platform queries in the consortium blockchain whether the vehicle has the permission to enter the parking lot according to the scanned license plate or electronic identification information. This may involve querying information such as the vehicle's membership status, prepaid situation, and parking history.

[0125] If the vehicle has a valid entry permission record in the consortium blockchain, the cloud platform allows the vehicle to enter the parking lot (that is, execute S103); otherwise, the cloud platform rejects the vehicle from entering (that is, execute S104).

[0126] S103. Allow the vehicle to enter the parking lot.

[0127] It should be noted that after the cloud platform verifies that the vehicle has the entry permission in the alliance chain, it will control the opening of the entrance gate or railing of the parking lot to allow the vehicle to enter the parking lot. This measure can ensure that only vehicles with legal entry permissions can enter the parking lot, maintaining the order and security of the parking lot.

[0128] S104. Refuse the vehicle to enter the parking lot.

[0129] It should be noted that when the cloud platform verifies in the alliance chain that the vehicle does not have the entry permission, it will keep the entrance gate or railing of the parking lot closed and refuse the vehicle to enter the parking lot.

[0130] The cloud platform can also provide feedback information on the refusal of entry to the user, such as displaying prompt information like "No permission to enter" on the display screen, or informing the driver through voice broadcast by the cloud platform. This measure can prevent unauthorized vehicles from entering the parking lot and protect the resources of the parking lot and the rights and interests of legitimate users.

[0131] In summary, by adding the pre - steps S101 - S104, this embodiment realizes the pre - verification of vehicle entry permissions, effectively preventing unauthorized vehicles from entering the parking lot, improving the safety and management efficiency of the parking lot. At the same time, using the immutability and distributed characteristics of the alliance chain technology ensures the accuracy and reliability of vehicle permission data.

[0132] Please refer to Figure 4 , in an implementation manner of this embodiment, it is optimized on the basis of Figure 1 . Specifically, before step S204, pre - steps are added as follows:

[0133] S203.5. Determine whether the target parking space is a private parking space; if not, execute S204, if so, execute S203.6.

[0134] It should be noted that after the vehicle selects the target parking space, the cloud platform will determine whether the parking space is a private parking space. This can be achieved by querying the database of the parking lot or the information in the alliance chain, which records the attributes and status of each parking space.

[0135] If the target parking space is not a private parking space (i.e., a public parking space), the system will continue to execute step S204, that is, control the unlocking of the ground lock and allow the vehicle to park. If the target parking space is a private parking space, the system will turn to execute step S203.6. This measure can ensure that before the vehicle attempts to park in a private parking space, the system can identify and take corresponding handling measures to avoid infringing on the rights and interests of the private parking space owner.

[0136] S203.6. Push a parking authorization request to the terminal of the owner of the target parking space.

[0137] It should be noted that when the cloud platform determines that the target parking space is a private parking space, it will push a parking authorization request to the terminal (such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.) of the owner of the parking space (which may be an individual or an organization). This request may include information about the vehicle, the expected parking duration, the parking fee quotation, etc. This measure allows the owner of the private parking space to know that a vehicle wishes to park in their parking space and requests their authorization.

[0138] S203.7. Receive the feedback information from the terminal in response to the parking authorization request, and determine whether the feedback information is consent to authorize; if so, execute S204, if not, execute S203.8.

[0139] The entire control timing from signature to signature verification and then to the authorization request is as Figure 10 shown. The key nodes are: signature generation (vehicle), signature verification (cloud platform), and manual approval (terminal of the owner of the target parking space).

[0140] It should be noted that after receiving the parking authorization request, the owner of the private parking space can respond through their terminal. The cloud platform receives and analyzes this feedback information to determine whether the owner consents to authorize the vehicle to park in their parking space.

[0141] If the owner consents to authorize, the cloud platform continues to execute step S204, that is, controls the ground lock to unlock and allows the vehicle to park. If the owner does not consent to authorize, the cloud platform turns to execute step S203.8. This measure decides whether to allow the vehicle to park in the parking space according to the will of the owner of the private parking space, respecting and protecting the rights and interests of the owner.

[0142] S203.8. Instruct the ground lock to remain locked and guide the vehicle to park in another parking space.

[0143] It should be noted that when the owner of the private parking space does not consent to authorize, the cloud platform will instruct the ground lock of the target parking space to remain locked to prevent the vehicle from parking forcibly. At the same time, the cloud platform will try to find and recommend another available parking space for the vehicle.

[0144] The cloud platform can guide the vehicle to park in another parking space through the indication signs in the parking lot, the voice broadcast system, or the navigation system in the vehicle, etc. This measure can ensure that when the owner of the private parking space does not consent to authorize, the vehicle can smoothly find and park in another suitable parking space, avoiding causing chaos or conflicts in the parking lot.

[0145] In summary, in this embodiment, pre - steps S203.5 - S203.8 are added before step S204 to handle the case of private parking spaces. Through steps such as determining whether the target parking space is a private parking space, pushing a parking authorization request to the owner, receiving and judging the feedback information, and guiding the vehicle to park in another parking space, the cloud platform can manage the parking space resources in the parking lot more flexibly and effectively, respect and protect the rights and interests of private parking space owners, and at the same time improve the overall utilization efficiency of the parking lot and user satisfaction.

[0146] Please refer to Figure 5 , in an implementation manner of this embodiment, it is optimized on the basis of Figure 4 . Specifically, before step S203.6, pre - steps are added as follows:

[0147] S203.5.5. Determine whether the target parking space is in the time - sharing sharing period, and the time - sharing sharing period is set by the owner of the target parking space; if so, execute S204, if not, execute S203.6.

[0148] It should be noted that after the cloud platform has determined that the target parking space is a private parking space (as shown in step S203.5), but before pushing a parking authorization request to the parking space owner (as shown in step S203.6), the cloud platform will check whether the parking space is in the time - sharing sharing period.

[0149] The time - sharing sharing period is set by the owner of the target parking space, which may be based on their daily parking habits, work needs or other personal reasons, such as the parking space is idle during the period from 9:00 to 17:00 on weekdays. This period information may be stored in the database of the parking lot or the alliance chain and associated with the parking space information.

[0150] If the cloud platform determines that the target parking space is currently in the time - sharing sharing period, it means that the parking space is available for sharing and scheduling during this period and does not require special authorization. Therefore, the cloud platform will directly execute step S204, that is, control the ground lock to unlock and allow the vehicle to park.

[0151] If the cloud platform determines that the target parking space is not currently in the time - sharing sharing period, then the cloud platform will turn to execute step S203.6, that is, push a parking authorization request to the terminal of the parking space owner to obtain the permission to park in this parking space.

[0152] By adding this step, the cloud platform can handle the time - sharing sharing situation of private parking spaces more flexibly and improve the utilization rate of parking spaces.

[0153] For parking space owners, they can set time-sharing sharing periods according to their own needs, which not only ensures the private use of the parking space during specific time periods, but also enables the parking space to be opened to the public during other time periods to obtain certain benefits or facilitate others.

[0154] For vehicle users, they can more easily find and park in private parking spaces during time-sharing sharing periods, improving the convenience and efficiency of parking.

[0155] In summary, in this embodiment, a pre-step S203.5.5 is added before step S203.6 to determine whether the target parking space is in a time-sharing sharing period. Through this step, the cloud platform can handle the time-sharing sharing situation of private parking spaces more flexibly, improving the utilization rate of parking spaces and the parking experience of users.

[0156] Please refer to Figure 6 , in an implementation manner of this embodiment, it is optimized on the basis of Figure 1 , specifically, after step S204, a post-step is added, which is as follows:

[0157] S206. Use V2X technology to plan the parking path between the vehicle and the target parking space, and send the parking path to the vehicle to trigger the vehicle to park along the parking path through the automatic driving function.

[0158] It should be noted that through V2X technology, the vehicle can obtain more comprehensive road information, thereby making more intelligent driving decisions.

[0159] In step S204, the cloud platform has controlled the unlocking of the ground lock and allowed the vehicle to park in the target parking space. Then, in step S206, the cloud platform will use V2X technology to plan the optimal parking path between the vehicle and the target parking space.

[0160] In the process of this path planning, the cloud platform will consider various factors, such as road congestion, pedestrian activities, driving trajectories of other vehicles, etc., to ensure that the planned parking path is both safe and efficient.

[0161] Once the parking path planning is completed, the cloud platform will send the path to the vehicle.

[0162] After receiving the parking path sent by the cloud platform, the vehicle will use the automatic driving function. The vehicle will drive along the planned parking path, automatically avoid obstacles, adjust the vehicle speed and direction, and finally accurately park in the target parking space.

[0163] During the entire parking process, the vehicle will continuously exchange information with the surrounding environment to ensure the safety and accuracy of the parking process.

[0164] By using V2X technology to plan the parking path, the cloud platform can provide a more intelligent and efficient parking solution for vehicles.

[0165] The realization of the autonomous parking function can greatly improve the accuracy and safety of parking, and reduce the errors and risks brought by manual operations.

[0166] At the same time, autonomous parking can also improve the operation efficiency of the parking lot, reduce the time for vehicles to search for parking spaces and the traffic congestion caused.

[0167] In summary, in this embodiment, a post-step S206 is added after step S204 to plan the parking path between the vehicle and the target parking space by using V2X technology and realize autonomous parking. This optimization scheme not only improves the intelligence and efficiency of parking, but also brings a more convenient and safe parking experience for vehicle users.

[0168] Please refer to Figure 7 , in an implementation manner of this embodiment, an optimization is made on the basis of Figure 6 . Specifically, after step S206, a post-step is added, which is as follows:

[0169] S207. During the process of the vehicle parking into the target parking space, receive the UWB beacon signal emitted by the ground lock and perform end-positioning correction on the vehicle.

[0170] It should be noted that UWB (Ultra Wide Band) is a wireless communication technology that uses extremely short pulses to transmit data and has characteristics such as high precision, low power consumption, and strong anti-interference ability.

[0171] In positioning applications, UWB technology can provide centimeter-level positioning accuracy and is very suitable for scenarios that require high-precision positioning such as vehicle parking.

[0172] Specifically, in step S206, the cloud platform has used V2X technology to plan the parking path between the vehicle and the target parking space and triggered the autonomous driving function of the vehicle.

[0173] Then, in step S207, when the vehicle approaches the target parking space, the cloud platform will start to receive the UWB beacon signal emitted by the ground lock.

[0174] The UWB beacon installed on the ground lock will continuously emit signals, and the UWB receiver on the vehicle will receive these signals and calculate the relative position between the vehicle and the ground lock based on information such as the signal strength and time difference.

[0175] The cloud platform will correct the vehicle's positioning information based on the received UWB beacon signal to ensure that the vehicle can accurately park in the target parking space.

[0176] It can be understood that during the vehicle parking process, due to the influence of various factors (such as vehicle dynamic performance, environmental changes, etc.), there may be a certain deviation between the actual driving path of the vehicle and the planned parking path. By receiving the UWB beacon signal emitted by the ground lock, the cloud platform can obtain the accurate position relationship between the vehicle and the ground lock in real time and fine-tune the vehicle's driving path to correct these deviations.

[0177] Terminal positioning correction can ensure that when the vehicle parks in the target parking space, it can be accurately parked at the preset position, avoiding parking irregularities or collision risks caused by positioning errors, and improving the accuracy and safety of parking.

[0178] In summary, in this embodiment, a post-step S207 is added after step S206. By receiving the UWB beacon signal emitted by the ground lock during the process of the vehicle parking in the target parking space and performing terminal positioning correction on the vehicle, the accuracy and safety of parking are further improved. This optimization scheme not only enhances the user's parking experience but also provides new technical ideas for the development of intelligent parking management systems.

[0179] Please refer to Figure 8 , in an implementation manner of this embodiment, it is optimized on the basis of Figure 1 . Specifically, after step S201, a post-step is added, which is as follows:

[0180] S201.5. Determine whether the vehicle is an emergency vehicle; if so, execute S201.6, if not, execute S202.

[0181] It should be noted that after the vehicle enters the parking lot, the cloud platform will determine whether the vehicle is an emergency vehicle. This can be achieved by a specific identifier in the information sent by the vehicle or by comparing with the database of relevant departments.

[0182] If the cloud platform determines that the vehicle is an emergency vehicle, then execute step S201.6 to provide special parking services for the emergency vehicle.

[0183] If the cloud platform determines that the vehicle is not an emergency vehicle, then execute step S202 and process it according to the normal parking process.

[0184] S201.6. Determine the optimal parking space closest to the target arrival position from several currently idle parking spaces, and use V2X technology to plan the optimal parking path between the vehicle and the optimal parking space. The optimal parking path is the path with the shortest driving distance or the most unobstructed path.

[0185] It should be noted that in step S201.6, the cloud platform will determine the nearest optimal parking space from the currently idle parking spaces according to the target arrival position of the vehicle.

[0186] The cloud platform will use V2X technology to consider factors such as real-time driving conditions and road congestion in the parking lot, and plan the optimal parking path between the vehicle and the optimal parking space. This path may be the shortest in driving distance or the most unobstructed.

[0187] By providing the optimal parking space and the optimal parking path for emergency vehicles, it can ensure that emergency vehicles can quickly and smoothly reach the designated position, improving the emergency response efficiency.

[0188] S201.7. Send the optimal parking path to the vehicle to trigger the vehicle to park along the optimal parking path through the automatic driving function.

[0189] It should be noted that in step S201.7, the cloud platform will send the planned optimal parking path to the vehicle.

[0190] After receiving the path information, the vehicle will use the automatic driving function to drive along the planned optimal parking path until it parks in the optimal parking space.

[0191] Through the automatic driving function, it can ensure that the vehicle can accurately drive along the optimal parking path, improving the accuracy and safety of parking. At the same time, automatic driving can also reduce the burden on the driver and improve the efficiency and accuracy of emergency response.

[0192] In summary, in this embodiment, post-steps S201.5, S201.6, and S201.7 are added after step S201 to handle the parking requirements of emergency vehicles. By judging whether the vehicle is an emergency vehicle, providing the optimal parking space and the optimal parking path for the emergency vehicle, and triggering the vehicle to park through the automatic driving function, it can ensure that the emergency vehicle can quickly and smoothly reach the designated position, improving the emergency response efficiency and accuracy. This optimization scheme not only improves the parking experience of emergency vehicles but also provides new ideas for the development of intelligent parking management systems.

[0193] Please refer to Figure 9 , in an implementation manner of this embodiment, it is optimized on the basis of Figure 8 , and specifically, after step S201.7, post-steps are added, which are as follows:

[0194] S201.8. Judge whether the optimal parking space is a private parking space; if so, execute S201.9, if not, execute S201.10.

[0195] It should be noted that in step S201.7, the cloud platform has sent the optimal parking path to the vehicle and triggered the vehicle to park through the automatic driving function.

[0196] Next, in step S201.8, the cloud platform will determine whether this optimal parking space is a private parking space. This can be achieved by querying the database of the parking lot or the signs on the parking space.

[0197] If the cloud platform determines that the optimal parking space is a private parking space, step S201.9 will be executed to handle the emergency occupation problem of the private parking space.

[0198] If the cloud platform determines that the optimal parking space is not a private parking space, step S201.10 will be executed to directly mark the parking space as temporarily occupied.

[0199] S201.9: Push the emergency preemption information of the parking space to the terminal of the owner of the target parking space, mark the optimal parking space as temporarily occupied, and provide high compensation.

[0200] It should be noted that in step S201.9, if the optimal parking space is a private parking space, the cloud platform will push the emergency preemption information of the parking space to the terminal of the owner of the parking space.

[0201] This information will explain that the emergency vehicle needs to temporarily occupy this parking space, as well as the approximate occupation time and compensation plan. At the same time, the cloud platform will mark this optimal parking space as temporarily occupied to ensure that other vehicles will not park by mistake.

[0202] In addition, the cloud platform will provide high compensation to the owner of the parking space to make up for the inconvenience or losses that may be suffered due to the temporary occupation of the parking space.

[0203] It can be understood that the compensation method can be in the form of cash, coupons, points, etc., which is specifically determined by the cloud platform according to the actual situation.

[0204] S201.10: Mark the optimal parking space as temporarily occupied.

[0205] It should be noted that in step S201.10, if the optimal parking space is not a private parking space, there will be no situation of unauthorized emergency occupation of private parking spaces, and the cloud platform will directly mark this parking space as temporarily occupied. This means that this parking space will be occupied by the emergency vehicle for a period of time, and other vehicles need to find other parking spaces to park.

[0206] It can be understood that by marking it as temporarily occupied, it can ensure that the emergency vehicle can park smoothly in the optimal parking space, improve the emergency response efficiency. At the same time, it can also avoid unnecessary troubles and disputes caused by other vehicles parking by mistake.

[0207] In summary, in this embodiment, post - processing steps S201.8, S201.9, and S201.10 are added after step S201.7 to handle the situation where emergency vehicles park in private parking spaces. By determining whether the optimal parking space is a private parking space, pushing emergency pre - emption information to the parking space owner and providing high compensation (if it is a private parking space), or marking the parking space as temporarily occupied (if it is not a private parking space), it can ensure that emergency vehicles can park quickly and smoothly in the optimal parking space while protecting the rights and interests of the parking space owner. This optimization scheme not only improves the parking efficiency of emergency vehicles but also enhances the flexibility and user - friendliness of the intelligent parking management system.
