[0003] Public document EP 3 261 074 A1 discloses a method for parking autonomous vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The objective of this invention is to provide an effective solution for efficiently and at least partially automating the guidance of motor vehicles within public facilities.

[0005] According to a first aspect, a method is provided for at least partially automating the guidance of motor vehicles within a public facility, the method comprising the following steps: The first server of the first operator of the public facility receives a first commission signal, wherein the commission signal represents a commission from the commissioning party requesting at least partially automated guidance of motor vehicles within the public facility; The first check is performed using the first server: whether the delegation can be implemented; When the first verification is positive, the second entrustment signal is sent to the second server of the platform via the first server for guiding motor vehicles at least partially automatically within the public facilities of the second operator, wherein the second entrustment signal represents an entrustment to guide motor vehicles at least partially automatically within the public facilities; A second check is performed using a second server: whether the delegation can be implemented; When the second verification is positive, control signals for at least partially automating the lateral and / or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle are generated based on a delegation by means of a platform, especially by means of a second server, such that the delegation is implemented when at least partially automating the lateral and / or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle is controlled, and the generated control signals are output.

[0006] According to a second aspect, a system is provided for at least partially automating the guidance of motor vehicles within a public facility, wherein the system is configured to implement all steps of the method according to the first aspect, wherein the system includes a first server and a platform.

[0007] According to a third aspect, a computer program is provided, which includes instructions that, when implemented by a computer, such as by a system according to a second aspect, cause the computer to implement the method according to a first aspect.

[0008] According to a fourth aspect, a machine-readable storage medium is provided on which a computer program according to a third aspect is stored.

[0009] This invention is based on and includes the following knowledge: the above-mentioned task can be solved by verifying twice whether the client's request to guide motor vehicles at least partially automatically within public facilities can be implemented, and then implementing the request if both verifications are positive.

[0010] On the one hand, the first server of the first operator of public facilities checks whether the entrustment can be implemented.

[0011] Then, if the verification is positive, the request is transmitted from the first server to the platform's second server for at least partially automated guidance of motor vehicles within the second operator's public facilities.

[0012] The second server then checks whether the delegation can be implemented.

[0013] Then, when the second verification is positive, corresponding control signals are generated based on the entrustment for at least partially automated control of the lateral and / or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle, thereby implementing the entrustment when at least partially automated control of the lateral and / or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle is achieved.

[0014] The resulting control signals are then output.

[0015] Therefore, for example, the technical advantage of being able to efficiently perform delegated processing is achieved. Furthermore, for example, the technical advantage of being able to efficiently implement delegation is achieved.

[0016] Therefore, it is particularly advantageous to achieve the following: the primary operator of the public facility does not need to prepare and / or maintain a platform for guiding motor vehicles within the public facility in a manner that is at least partially automated.

[0017] Therefore, the technical implementation of how to guide motor vehicles within public facilities in a way that is at least partially automated when using a platform is the responsibility of the second operator, namely the platform operator.

[0018] Therefore, for the primary operator, this reduces the cost of technology in a favorable way.

[0019] Furthermore, this technological advantage is particularly evident in that the second operator can effectively provide the first operator with a service that guides motor vehicles within a public facility in a manner that is at least partially automated. Therefore, for example, the second operator can focus solely on guiding motor vehicles within the public facility in a manner that is at least partially automated, and does not need to undertake additional technical tasks related to the operation of the public facility, such as its maintenance.

[0020] Therefore, the technical advantage of providing a solution for effectively and at least partially automating the guidance of motor vehicles within public facilities is particularly advantageous.

[0021] The phrase "at least partially automated booting" includes one or more of the following: assisted booting, partially automated booting, highly automated booting, and fully automated booting.

[0022] "Assisted guidance" means that the driver of a motor vehicle continuously performs either lateral or longitudinal guidance of the vehicle, automatically executing another corresponding driving task (i.e., control of the longitudinal or lateral guidance of the vehicle). In other words, it involves automatically controlling either lateral or longitudinal guidance while assisting in guiding the vehicle.

[0023] "Partially automated guidance" means that the longitudinal and lateral guidance of a motor vehicle is automatically controlled under specific conditions (such as driving on a highway, driving in a parking lot, overtaking an object, or driving within a lane defined by lane markings) and / or for a certain period of time. The driver does not need to manually control the longitudinal and lateral guidance. However, the driver must continuously monitor the automatic control of the longitudinal and lateral guidance in order to intervene manually if necessary. The driver must be prepared to take full control of the vehicle's guidance at any time.

[0024] "Highly automated guidance" means that, under specific conditions (e.g., driving on a highway, driving in a parking lot, overtaking an object, driving within a lane marked by lane markings), the longitudinal and lateral guidance of a motor vehicle is automatically controlled for a certain period of time. The driver does not need to manually control the longitudinal and lateral guidance. The driver does not need to continuously monitor the automatic control of longitudinal and lateral guidance to be able to intervene manually when needed. A takeover request is automatically issued to the driver when necessary, specifically to take over control of longitudinal and lateral guidance, with sufficient time allowance. Therefore, the driver must be potentially able to take over control of longitudinal and lateral guidance. The boundaries of automatic control of lateral and longitudinal guidance are automatically identified. What is impossible in highly automated guidance is automatically inducing the state of least risk in every initial situation.

[0025] "Fully automated guidance" means that, under specific conditions (e.g., driving on a highway, driving in a parking lot, overtaking an object, driving within a lane defined by lane markings), the longitudinal and lateral guidance of the vehicle is automatically controlled. The driver does not need to manually control the longitudinal and lateral guidance. The driver does not need to monitor the automatic control of longitudinal and lateral guidance to be able to intervene manually when necessary. Before ending automatic control of lateral and longitudinal guidance, the driver is automatically prompted to take over the driving task (controlling the vehicle's lateral and longitudinal guidance), especially with sufficient time allowance. As long as the driver has not taken over the driving task, the system automatically returns to the state of least risk. The boundaries of automatic control of lateral and longitudinal guidance are automatically identified. In all situations, the system can automatically return to the state of least risk.

[0026] According to one embodiment, a first certificate signal is received via a first server, the first certificate signal representing a first digital certificate, wherein a first verification is performed based on the first digital certificate, wherein the first digital certificate includes a first data set, the first data set including one or more of the following data: vehicle specification data, the specification data representing technical specifications for at least partially automated guidance of the vehicle; identity verification data, the identity verification data representing identity verification of the vehicle and / or the driver and / or the principal of the vehicle; payment data, such as credit card data, account number data.

[0027] This allows for the technical advantage of enabling the efficient implementation of the first inspection.

[0028] Technical specifications for at least partially automated guidance of motor vehicles include, for example, one or more of the following: the number of environmental sensors included in the motor vehicle, the type of environmental sensors included in the motor vehicle, the maximum speed of the motor vehicle, the maximum acceleration of the motor vehicle, the turning circle of the motor vehicle, the wheelbase of the motor vehicle, the length of the motor vehicle, the width of the motor vehicle, the height of the motor vehicle, the ground clearance of the motor vehicle, the weight of the motor vehicle, and the effective range of the environmental sensors of the motor vehicle.

[0029] The first digital certificate is issued, for example, by an official certification body.

[0030] According to another embodiment, when the verification is positive, the first digital certificate is sent to the second server via the first server, so that the second server receives the first digital certificate, and performs a second verification based on the first digital certificate.

[0031] This allows for the technical advantage of efficiently performing the second test.

[0032] According to one embodiment, a second certificate signal is received via a second server, the second certificate signal representing a second digital certificate, wherein a second verification is performed based on the second digital certificate, wherein the second digital certificate includes a second data set, the second data set including one or more of the following data: vehicle specification data, the specification data representing technical specifications for at least partially automated guidance of the vehicle; and identity verification data, the identity verification data representing the vehicle and / or the identity verification of the vehicle's driver and / or the principal. This achieves, for example, the technical advantage that the second verification can be performed efficiently.

[0033] The implementation scheme based on the first digital certificate is similarly applicable to the second digital certificate, and vice versa.

[0034] Therefore, it is particularly advantageous to achieve the following technical advantage: when using a first digital certificate and / or a second digital certificate, it is possible to verify, with the aid of a first or second server, whether a motor vehicle that should be guided at least partially automatically within a public facility is technically capable of being guided at least partially automatically within the public facility.

[0035] Furthermore, this technical advantage is particularly evident in that it can effectively ensure, for example, that only the authorization of the authorized principal is carried out.

[0036] Furthermore, this technological advantage is particularly realized in that motor vehicles that are to be guided at least partially automatically within public facilities according to the mandate are also guided at least partially automatically within public facilities.

[0037] For example, the second server is configured to receive a second digital certificate from the vehicle.

[0038] For example, the first server is configured to obtain the first digital certificate from the principal.

[0039] Then, in particular, the second server can verify whether the first digital certificate transmitted by the first server to the second server matches the second digital certificate obtained by the second server from the vehicle.

[0040] Delegation is only set up when, for example, two certificates are identical or match each other, using the platform to implement delegation.

[0041] According to one implementation, the first verification includes verifying whether the client has fulfilled the payment required for at least partially automating the guidance of the motor vehicle and / or ensuring that the payment required for at least partially automating the guidance of the motor vehicle has been fulfilled, for example by means of a debit method or by means of a license.

[0042] This provides, for example, the technical advantage of ensuring that delegation is only carried out when the required payment has been made.

[0043] According to one implementation, the second verification includes verifying whether the first operator has fulfilled the payment required for at least partially automating the guidance of the motor vehicle and / or ensured that the payment required for at least partially automating the guidance of the motor vehicle has been fulfilled, for example by means of a debit method or by means of a license.

[0044] This provides, for example, the technical advantage of ensuring that the first operator fulfills the required payments.

[0045] In one implementation, the second verification includes verifying whether the authorization sent via the first server has been signed using the digital signature of the first operator.

[0046] This provides a technical advantage, for example, that it can effectively ensure that the requests sent and received by the second server are also sent by the first server.

[0047] In one implementation, the first verification includes verifying whether the principal's authorization was signed using the principal's digital signature.

[0048] This provides a technical advantage, for example, that it can effectively ensure that the entrustment received by the first server from the principal also originates from the principal.

[0049] In one implementation, the public facility includes elements selected from the following group of public facility elements: parking lots, especially parking garages, tunnels, bridges, construction sites, junctions, especially intersections or merging points, highway entrances to expressways, and toll stations.

[0050] This allows for technological advantages, for example, such as the use of particularly suitable public facilities.

[0051] The technical functions of the method according to the first aspect are similarly derived from the corresponding technical functions of the system according to the second aspect, and vice versa.

[0052] In other words, methodological characteristics are derived from system characteristics, and vice versa.

[0053] In one implementation, the method according to the first aspect is implemented or executed by means of a system according to the second aspect.

[0054] The abbreviation "bzw." means "or".

[0055] The term "or" means "or".

[0056] The term "or" specifically means "and / or".

[0057] According to one implementation, the method of the first aspect is a computer-implemented method.

[0058] According to one embodiment, the method includes, according to a first aspect, at least partially automatically controlling the lateral and / or longitudinal guidance of a motor vehicle based on an output control signal.

[0059] According to one embodiment, the control signals include remote control signals for remotely controlling the lateral and / or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle.

[0060] According to one embodiment, the platform includes one or more environmental sensors that are spatially distributed within a public facility.

[0061] For example, an environmental sensor is one of the following: radar sensor, lidar sensor, ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, video sensor, and magnetic field sensor.

[0062] In one embodiment, the platform includes one or more communication devices spatially distributed within a public facility.

[0063] Communication devices can be used to transmit control signals to motor vehicles, for example.

[0064] In one implementation, the client is a motor vehicle, a driver of the motor vehicle, or a reservation system.

[0065] In one implementation, the first operator and the second operator are the same. In another implementation, the first operator and the second operator are different. Attached Figure Description

[0066] Embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings and will be described in detail in the following description. The drawings show: Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for at least partially automating the guidance of motor vehicles within public facilities. Figure 2 A system for at least partially automating the guidance of motor vehicles within public facilities. Figure 3 Machine-readable storage media, and Figure 4 block diagram. Detailed Implementation

[0067] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrates a method for at least partially automating the guidance of motor vehicles within a public facility, the method comprising the following steps: The first server of the first operator of the public facility receives the 101 first entrustment signal, wherein the entrustment signal indicates that the entrusting party requests that motor vehicles be guided at least partially automatically within the public facility; The first check 103 is performed using the first server: whether the delegation can be implemented; When the first verification is positive, the second entrustment signal is sent to the second server of the platform via the first server to guide motor vehicles at least partially automatically within the public facilities of the second operator, wherein the second entrustment signal represents an entrustment to guide motor vehicles at least partially automatically within the public facilities; A second check, 107, is performed using a second server: whether the delegation can be implemented. When the second test is positive, the platform generates 109 control signals for at least partially automating the lateral and / or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle, such that the commission is implemented when at least partially automating the lateral and / or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle is controlled, and the generated control signals are output 111.

[0068] Figure 2 A system 201 is shown for guiding motor vehicles at least partially automatically within a public facility.

[0069] System 201 is configured to implement all steps of the method according to the first aspect.

[0070] System 201 includes a first server 203 and a platform 205 having a second server 207.

[0071] Figure 3 Machine-readable storage medium 301 is shown.

[0072] A computer program 303 is stored on a machine-readable storage medium 301.

[0073] Computer program 303 includes instructions that, when implemented by a computer, cause the computer to perform the method according to the first aspect.

[0074] Figure 4 A block diagram is shown, which exemplarily describes the scheme described herein for guiding motor vehicles at least partially automatically within public facilities.

[0075] Motor vehicle 401 or driver 403 of motor vehicle 401 sends a request 405 to guide motor vehicle 401 at least partially automatically within a public facility.

[0076] In other words, the client can be, for example, a motor vehicle (401) or a driver (403).

[0077] The delegation 405 includes, for example, the first digital certificate 407.

[0078] The first digital certificate 407 includes a first data set, which includes, for example, specification data of a motor vehicle 401, the specification data representing technical specifications for at least partially automated guidance of the motor vehicle 401.

[0079] For example, the first data group includes identity verification data, which represents the identity verification of motor vehicle 401 and / or the driver 403 of motor vehicle 401.

[0080] In one embodiment not shown, the principal of the entrustment 405 may be different from the vehicle 401 and the driver 403. For example, the principal is a reservation system.

[0081] The request 405 is sent to the first server 409 of the first operator of the public facility.

[0082] The first server checks 409 to see if delegation can be implemented (405). For this purpose, a first digital certificate is used (407).

[0083] For example, the first server 409 checks whether the motor vehicle 401 can be guided, at least partially automatically, within a public facility based on specification data.

[0084] Upon a positive first verification, the first server 409 sends a request 405, including a first digital certificate 407, to the platform 413, more specifically to the second server 411 included in the platform 413, requesting at least partially automated guidance of vehicle 401 within the public facility. In one embodiment, the first server 409 sends additional data to the second server 411. This additional data includes, for example: data regarding the specific request; for example, prioritizing the vehicle, i.e., advancing it, because, for example, the requester is a premium customer; historical data of the vehicle; and data between operators (e.g., financial data).

[0085] The second server 411 of platform 413 verifies whether delegation 405 can be implemented. For this purpose, the first digital certificate 407 is used.

[0086] For example, the second server 411 checks again whether the motor vehicle 401 can be guided at least partially automatically within the public facility based on its specification data.

[0087] For example, the vehicle 401 is configured to provide a second digital certificate 415 to the platform 413. That is, in particular, the second server 411 receives this second digital certificate 415.

[0088] For example, the second digital certificate 415 can be the same as the first digital certificate 407.

[0089] For example, the second digital certificate 415 may be different from the first digital certificate 407, but the second digital certificate 415 is matched with the first digital certificate 407.

[0090] In other words, in particular, two certificates, 407 and 415, can form a certificate pair.

[0091] For example, the second server 411 verifies whether the delegation 405 can be implemented based on the second digital certificate 415.

[0092] For example, the second server 411 checks whether the second digital certificate 415 matches the first digital certificate 407 or whether the two certificates are the same.

[0093] Thus, the technical advantage can be achieved in a favorable manner: it can be effectively ensured that the motor vehicle 401, which should be guided at least partially automatically within the public facility by the platform 413, is also the motor vehicle 401 that should be guided at least partially automatically within the public facility according to the entrustment 405.

[0094] When the second test is positive, the corresponding control signal is generated and output in function block 417.

[0095] For example, the output control signal is sent to the vehicle 401 via one or more communication devices (not shown) of platform 413.

[0096] For example, the platform 413 is configured to send bill 419 to the first operator, that is, to send a bill to the first server 409.

[0097] The first server 409 can then, for example, initiate payment 421 to the second operator for platform 413.

[0098] For example, a setup may be configured only if the bill is paid by the first operator, to guide motor vehicle 401 at least partially automatically within a public facility using platform 413.

[0099] For example, the system is configured such that delegation 405 is only implemented when the driver 403 has made the necessary payment for this purpose and / or ensured that the payment required to at least partially automate the guidance of the motor vehicle is made (e.g., by means of a debit method or by permission).

[0100] In a general implementation, the first server is responsible for verifying reservations and / or parking space capacity and / or payments, and / or for general verification: whether motor vehicles can be guided, and in particular, parked, at least partially automatically within public facilities, especially parking lots or garages. That is, in particular, in this general implementation, the first server performs the corresponding steps.

[0101] In one general implementation, the second server is responsible for verifying the technical implementation and / or actual implementation of at least partially automated guidance, particularly at least partially automated parking. That is, in particular, in this general implementation, the second server performs the corresponding steps.

[0102] In other words, the first and second servers, in particular, each fulfill different functions.

[0103] According to one embodiment, the scheme described herein includes the technical processes and interactions of a process for automated parking, particularly a process for delegated handling.

[0104] According to one implementation, the process begins with the driver (typically a user) initiating a mandate for an automated parking procedure.

[0105] According to one implementation, the mandate can be triggered manually (e.g., by a driver or user), or in another implementation, automatically by the vehicle itself.

[0106] In one implementation, "automatic" could mean that if the destination is known, the vehicle automatically triggers the mandate before arrival (e.g., shortly before arrival). This is possible because the driver has already stored this information in the vehicle.

[0107] In one embodiment, the vehicle may also use additional channels, such as mobile terminal devices, especially mobile phones (in one embodiment, delegates may also be stored here).

[0108] In one implementation, the trigger can be similarly performed by the driver. In another implementation, the difference is that the driver triggers the delegation.

[0109] Furthermore, in one implementation, the commission can be triggered by another system (not shown in the figure), such as a booking system, for example, because the parking process is part of the ticket.

[0110] In one implementation, among all the mandates, the mandate includes the mandate for the parking garage operator to provide automated parking for motor vehicles. Automated parking can be referred to as "automated valet parking (AVP)" in English.

[0111] Therefore, in one implementation, the mandate includes a description of the motor vehicle to be parked (e.g., defined by license plate and / or electronic / digital identification (ID), which is transmitted, for example, via radio).

[0112] In one implementation, the parking garage operator verifies whether the delegation is permitted / enabled. For example, one or more of the following verifications are performed: Whether the specified vehicle is permitted for use in the AVP process / AVP procedure.

[0113] Does the client allow it for use in the AVP process / AVP program?

[0114] Is the principal also truly the principal (that is, the identity verification of the principal, especially the principal)?

[0115] Whether any payments that may have been made have been made (e.g., one-time payments, subscriptions, long-term approvals, etc.).

[0116] Can you provide a technology-based (AVP vehicle and / or AVP parking garage public facilities) AVP parking process?

[0117] In one implementation, upon a positive verification result, the parking garage operator then further delegates the task to an AVP platform, which subsequently implements the AVP parking process.

[0118] In one implementation, the basis of the delegated processing or AVP parking process is the ability to transfer and access the system accordingly. That is, in particular, "secure".

[0119] In one implementation, security is provided by ensuring that the relevant system is secure, thus ensuring that the participating systems are "correct." That is, it prevents, for example, unauthorized users or unauthorized systems from delegating the AVP process, thereby ensuring that the AVP platform correctly parks the vehicle.

[0120] In other words, in one implementation, it is ensured both in the delegation and at the implementation time that: - In one implementation, the AVP process for the identified motor vehicle is delegated to the parking garage operator by a user / driver / system (e.g., a motor vehicle) who has been authorized for this purpose. - In one implementation, the parking garage operator's entrustment of the AVP platform to a second operator (or AVP platform) includes the correct motor vehicles; - In one implementation, the second operator (or AVP platform) will park the correct vehicle and obtain the necessary access for it.

[0121] In one implementation, this security is ensured through certificates.

[0122] In one implementation, a certificate is used to ensure that the vehicle is the correct one and that access to the vehicle is possible.

[0123] In one implementation, the parking process certificate is provided to the AVP platform by the parking garage operator.

[0124] Furthermore, in one implementation, a certificate is present in the motor vehicle.

[0125] In one implementation, the AVP parking process (technically implemented) is possible due to the presence of two certificates. In another implementation, the two systems (the vehicle and the AVP platform) have one or more matching certificates that enable access to the vehicle or the vehicle's AVP system.

[0126] In one implementation, a certificate is provided to the AVP platform once.

[0127] In one implementation, certificates are continuously (but preferably terminated) provided to the AVP platform.

[0128] In one implementation, the parking garage operator obtains a certificate with authorization, for example, from a driver or motor vehicle; in one implementation, it is obtained once, or in another implementation, it is obtained continuously, but preferably terminateably.

[0129] In one implementation, the second operator (AVP operator) verifies whether delegation is permitted / enabled prior to the AVP parking process. For example, one or more of the following checks are performed: Whether the specified motor vehicle is permitted for use in the AVP process / AVP procedure (e.g., through one or more certificates).

[0130] Is the client also truly the client (the parking garage operator)?

[0131] Whether any necessary payments have been made for the AVP process (e.g., one-time payments, subscriptions, long-term approvals, etc.); payments made to the AVP operator.

[0132] Can you provide a technology-based (AVP vehicle and / or AVP parking garage public facilities) AVP parking process?

[0133] In one implementation, such as in blockchain, all or important accesses are logged securely and without the need for authentication.

[0134] In one implementation, the above-described process for AVP transportation can also be adapted to other applications. For example, for supporting at least partial automation during operation (e.g., highly automated control of motor vehicles) or for taking over control during operation.

[0135] Examples are as follows: Support for remote control of motor vehicles while in motion.

[0136] Driving guided by public facilities with at least partial automation, especially driving guided with at least temporary partial automation.

[0137] Examples of this application include: The process includes driving through tunnels, over bridges, through construction sites, through intersections, and entering highways via highway entrances, including merging processes. For each participant, this leads to the conclusion that the parking garage operator is the road owner, and the AVP platform operator is the platform operator. The platform can be part of a public facility. Therefore, in one implementation, the first operator and the second operator can be the same. In another implementation, the first operator is different from the second operator.
