Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0013] 1. Overview The AVP system according to this embodiment provides the user with an Auto Valet Parking (AVP) function in a predetermined area. The predetermined area to which the AVP system according to this embodiment is applied is formed to include a parking lot, a boarding and alighting area, and a cargo collection area. The boarding and alighting area is a place for the user to board and alight from the vehicle. The cargo collection area is a place for collecting cargo. The AVP system according to this embodiment is typically applied to an area including an airport parking lot. In this case, the cargo collected in the cargo collection area is assumed to be the cargo that the user intends to carry to the destination.

[0014] One of the AVP functions provided by the AVP system according to this embodiment is a parking function that parks the vehicle parked at the boarding and alighting area in the parking lot upon receiving a parking request from the user. Hereinafter, the overview of the parking function will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

[0015] FIG. 1 shows an example of a predetermined area 20 to which the AVP system according to this embodiment is applied. The area 20 shown as an example in FIG. 1 includes a parking lot 24, a boarding and alighting location 21, and a loading location 22, each of which is connected by a road passable by vehicles. The loading location 22 is provided adjacent to a loading facility 30 which is the destination for loading goods. The loading facility 30 is, for example, a facility for the checked baggage service at an airport. The loading location 22 also includes three loading spaces 23a, 23b, and 23c for the operator 4 to perform operations.

[0016] First, the user 2 operates the user terminal 200 to send a parking request to the control center 100. At this time, it is assumed that the user 2 has parked the vehicle 1 at the boarding and alighting location 21 and has alighted from the vehicle 1. The user terminal 200 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like. In this case, the user terminal 200 may be configured such that the AVP function is available on a predetermined application. However, the user terminal 200 may be a dedicated terminal for configuring the AVP system. For example, the user terminal 200 may be a dedicated terminal installed at the boarding and alighting location 21.

[0017] When the control center 100 receives the parking request, it communicates with the vehicle 1 to be parked at the boarding and alighting location 21 and starts the movement of the vehicle 1 by the parking function. The control center 100 manages the movement of the vehicle 1 in the area 20 by sending command information to the vehicle 1. The command information is, for example, information such as the destination point, the movement route, the parking position, and the like. The vehicle 1 is configured to perform autonomous driving in the area 20 according to the command information received from the control center 100.

[0018] In the parking function according to this embodiment, at the cargo collection location 22, it is determined whether there is any consignment cargo 3a scheduled to be collected from the vehicle 1. The consignment cargo 3a is, for example, cargo that is scheduled to be consigned until the destination through the baggage storage service at the airport. When there is consignment cargo 3a, the control center 100 moves the vehicle 1 to the cargo collection location 22 and parks the vehicle 1 in one of the cargo collection spaces. For example, the control center 100 transmits command information indicating the movement route 31a from the boarding and alighting location 21 to the cargo collection location 22 and the cargo collection space 23b where the cargo collection operation is to be performed to the vehicle 1. In the parking function according to this embodiment, the user 2 with the consignment cargo 3a can leave the boarding and alighting location 21 while keeping the consignment cargo 3a loaded on the vehicle 1.

[0019] On the other hand, when there is no consignment cargo 3a, the control center 100 parks the vehicle 1 in the parking lot 24. For example, the control center 100 transmits command information indicating the movement route 32 from the boarding and alighting location 21 to the parking lot 24 and the parking frame 42 that is the parking position to the vehicle 1.

[0020] When the vehicle 1 moves to the cargo collection location 22 according to the command information and stops in one of the cargo collection spaces, the operator 4 can start the cargo collection operation for the consignment cargo 3a. When the cargo collection operation is completed, a cargo-collected signal indicating that the collection of the consignment cargo 3a is completed is transmitted to the control center 100. For example, when the cargo collection operation is completed, the operator 4 operates the operator terminal 400 to transmit the cargo-collected signal. In this case, the operator terminal 400 may be configured to be able to transmit the cargo-collected signal on the condition that the consignment cargo 3a and the user 2 are collated. For example, the operator terminal 400 is configured to collate the identification information of the user 2 received from the control center 100 and the identification information of the user 2 obtained by reading the identification code attached to the consignment cargo 3a in advance. By applying such a configuration, the manageability of the collection of the consignment cargo 3a at the cargo collection location 22 can be improved.

[0021] Note that the operator terminal 400 may be a terminal that operates on a predetermined application, or may be a dedicated terminal for configuring the AVP system.

[0022] When the control center 100 receives the cargo collection completed signal, it determines that the consigned luggage 3a has been collected from the vehicle 1, and parks the vehicle 1 that stops at the cargo collection location 22 in the parking lot 24. For example, the control center 100 transmits command information indicating the movement route 31b from the cargo collection location 22 to the parking lot 24 and the parking frame 41 that is the parking position to the vehicle 1.

[0023] When the vehicle 1 parks in the parking lot 24, the parking function according to this embodiment is completed.

[0024] As described above, the AVP system according to this embodiment provides a parking function. With the parking function according to this embodiment, when there is the consigned luggage 3a, the collection of the consigned luggage 3a is performed together with the parking of the vehicle 1. As a result, the user 2 does not need to carry the consigned luggage 3a to the storage location or perform procedures at the storage location. Consequently, the annoyance of the user 2 can be reduced.

[0025] Another AVP function provided by the AVP system according to this embodiment is a vehicle dispatching function that dispatches the vehicle 1 parked in the parking lot 24 in response to a vehicle dispatching request from the user 2. Hereinafter, the outline of the vehicle dispatching function will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The area 20 shown in FIG. 2 is the same as that in FIG. 1.

[0026] First, the user 2 operates the user terminal 200 to send a vehicle dispatching request to the control center 100. At this time, it is assumed that the user 2 is waiting at the boarding and alighting location 21 or is heading towards the boarding and alighting location 21.

[0027] When the control center 100 receives the vehicle dispatching request, it communicates with the vehicle 1 to be parked in the parking lot 24 and starts the movement of the vehicle 1 by the vehicle dispatching function.

[0028] In the vehicle allocation function according to this embodiment, it is determined whether there is any consignment cargo 3b that vehicle 1 is scheduled to pick up at the collection location 22. The consignment cargo 3b is, for example, cargo that is scheduled to be picked up at the destination by the baggage storage service at the airport. When there is consignment cargo 3b, the control center 100 moves vehicle 1 to the collection location 22 and stops vehicle 1 in any of the collection spaces. For example, the control center 100 transmits command information indicating the movement route 33a from the parking lot 24 to the collection location 22 and the collection space 23b where the collection operation is to be performed to vehicle 1.

[0029] On the other hand, when there is no consignment cargo 3b, the control center 100 moves vehicle 1 to the boarding and alighting location 21. For example, the control center 100 transmits command information indicating the movement route 34 from the parking lot 24 to the boarding and alighting location 21 to vehicle 1.

[0030] When vehicle 1 moves to the collection location 22 according to the command information and stops in any of the collection spaces, the operator 4 can start the loading operation of loading the consignment cargo 3b onto vehicle 1. When the loading operation is completed, a loaded signal indicating that the consignment cargo 3b has been loaded onto vehicle 1 is transmitted to the control center 100. For example, when the loading operation is completed, the operator 4 operates the operator terminal 400 to transmit the loaded signal. In this case, the operator terminal 400 may be configured to be able to transmit the loaded signal on the condition that the consignment cargo 3b has been verified with the user 2.

[0031] When the control center 100 receives the loaded signal, it moves vehicle 1 that is stopped at the collection location 22 to the boarding and alighting location 21. For example, the control center 100 transmits command information indicating the movement route 33b from the collection location 22 to the boarding and alighting location 21 to vehicle 1.

[0032] When vehicle 1 moves to the boarding and alighting location 21 and stops, the vehicle allocation function according to this embodiment is completed. After the vehicle allocation function is completed, the user 2 can board vehicle 1 that is stopped at the boarding and alighting location 21 and start driving vehicle 1.

[0033] As described above, the AVP system according to the present embodiment provides a vehicle allocation function. When there is a pick-up package 3b according to the vehicle allocation function of the present embodiment, the pick-up package 3b is loaded onto the vehicle 1 together with the allocation of the vehicle 1. As a result, the user 2 does not need to pick up the pick-up package 3b or carry the pick-up package 3b to the boarding and alighting location 21. Consequently, the annoyance of the user 2 can be reduced.

[0034] 2. Configuration Hereinafter, the configuration of the AVP system according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the AVP system 10 according to the present embodiment.

[0035] The control center 100 is configured to be communicable with the user terminal 200, the operator terminal 400, the area environment detection sensor 500, and the vehicle 1. For example, the control center 100 is connected to these devices via a mobile communication network or the Internet.

[0036] The area environment detection sensor 500 is a sensor that is installed in a predetermined area 20 and detects the environment of the area 20. For example, the area environment detection sensor 500 acquires the vacancy status of the parking lot 24, the vacancy status of the loading space, recognizes the vehicle 1 within the area 20 (position, driving state, etc.), recognizes pedestrians and obstacles within the area 20, and so on. The area environment detection sensor 500 is composed of, for example, one or more cameras that image the situation within the area 20 and vehicle detection sensors arranged in the parking spaces of the parking lot 24.

[0037] The vehicle 1 includes an in-vehicle sensor 610, a communication device 620, and an ECU 630.

[0038] The in-vehicle sensor 610 detects information related to the driving environment of the vehicle 1. Examples of the in-vehicle sensor 610 include sensors that detect the surrounding environment of the vehicle 1 (preceding vehicle, white line, obstacle, etc.) such as a camera, a millimeter-wave radar, and a LiDAR, and sensors that detect the driving state of the vehicle 1 (vehicle speed, acceleration, yaw rate, etc.) such as a wheel speed sensor and an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit).

[0039] The communication device 620 communicates with devices outside the vehicle 1 to transmit and receive information. In particular, the communication device 620 communicates with the control center 100 to receive command information. The communication device 620 is, for example, a communication module that performs mobile communication.

[0040] The ECU 630 executes processes related to various controls of the vehicle 1. At least the ECU 630 is configured to execute a process of performing autonomous driving of the vehicle 1 according to the command information received from the control center 100. For example, the ECU 630 generates a travel trajectory of the vehicle 1 so as to satisfy the command information based on the information detected by the in-vehicle sensor 610, and accelerates, brakes, and steers the vehicle 1 so that the vehicle 1 travels along the travel trajectory. However, for the processes related to autonomous driving, suitable known technologies may be applied.

[0041] The control center 100 is configured to be able to access the consolidated cargo database D10. For example, the consolidated cargo database D10 is stored in a data server on the Internet, and the control center 100 accesses the consolidated cargo database D10 by communicating with the data server via the Internet.

[0042] The consolidated cargo database D10 manages information on the cargo collected at the collection location 22 for each user 2. The consolidated cargo database D10 is composed of, for example, reservation information when the user 2 reserves the checked baggage service at the airport. FIG. 3 shows an example of the information on the cargo managed by the consolidated cargo database D10. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the consolidated cargo database D10 manages various information on the cargo collected at the collection location 22 in association with the user ID, which is the identification information of the user 3. In the example shown in FIG. 3, as the information on the cargo to be managed, the collection status, attribute information (size, quantity, weight), and the flight number specifying the storage destination of the cargo are shown.

[0043] The control center 100 includes a processing unit 110 and a communication unit 120.

[0044] The processing unit 110 is a computer including one or more processors 111 (hereinafter simply referred to as "processor 111") and one or more storage devices 112 (hereinafter simply referred to as "storage device 112").

[0045] The processor 111 executes various processes related to the control center 100. The processor 111 can be configured by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) including an arithmetic unit, registers, and the like. The storage device 112 is connected to the processor 111 and stores various information necessary for the execution of the processes of the processor 111. The storage device 112 can be configured by, for example, recording media such as ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), and the like.

[0046] The storage device 112 stores a computer program 113, area environment information 114, and vehicle information 115.

[0047] The computer program 113 is stored in a computer-readable recording medium. The computer program 113 is composed of a plurality of instructions for causing the processor 111 to execute processes. By operating the processor 111 according to the plurality of instructions, the execution of various processes by the processor 111 is realized.

[0048] The area environment information 114 is information detected by the area environment detection sensor 500. The area environment information 114 may further include map information of a predetermined area 20.

[0049] The vehicle information 115 is information related to the vehicle 1. Examples of the vehicle information 115 include the position information of the vehicle 1 in a predetermined area 20, the driving state of the vehicle 1, the identification information of the vehicle 1, and the like. The control center 100 may be configured to acquire the vehicle information 115 from the vehicle 1.

[0050] The communication unit 120 communicates with devices external to the control center 100 to transmit and receive information. The control center 100 transmits and receives information with the user terminal 200, the operator terminal 400, the area environment detection sensor 500, and the vehicle 1 via the communication unit 120. In particular, the communication unit 120 communicates with the vehicle 1 to transmit command information. The communication unit 120 is, for example, a device connected to the Internet for communication.

[0051] 3. Processing Hereinafter, the processing executed by the control center 100, more specifically, the processing executed by the processor 111 will be described.

[0052] First, with reference to FIG. 4, the processing (parking process) executed by the processor 111 in the parking function will be described. The process shown in FIG. 4 starts when the control center 100 receives a parking request.

[0053] In step S100, the processor 111 acquires the presence or absence of the consigned goods 3a of user 2. For example, the processor 111 acquires the presence or absence of the consigned goods 3a of user 2 by referring to the consolidated goods database D10 using the user ID of user 2. In this case, the parking request may include user ID information.

[0054] If there are consigned goods 3a (step S110; Yes), the process proceeds to step S120. If there are no consigned goods 3a (step S110; No), the process proceeds to step S140.

[0055] In step S120, the processor 111 generates command information to move the vehicle 1 from the boarding and alighting location 21 to the goods collection location 22. For example, the processor 111 selects a workable goods collection space from the area environment information 114, and generates command information indicating the selected goods collection space and the movement route from the boarding and alighting location 21 to the goods collection location 22. After the vehicle 1 moves to the goods collection location 22 according to the command information, the process proceeds to step S130.

[0056] In step S130, the processor 111 determines whether a cargo collection completed signal has been received. That is, the processor 111 determines whether the consigned goods 3a have been collected from the vehicle 1 at the cargo collection location 22.

[0057] If a cargo collection completed signal has been received (step S130; Yes), the process proceeds to step S140. If a cargo collection completed signal has not been received (step S130; No), the processor 111 executes the process according to step S130 again at a predetermined processing cycle.

[0058] In step S140, the processor 111 generates command information to park the vehicle 1 at the parking lot 24. For example, the processor 111 selects a parking position where parking is possible from the area environment information 114, and generates command information indicating the selected parking position and the movement route to the parking lot 24.

[0059] Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the process (distribution process) executed by the processor 111 in the distribution function will be described. The process shown in FIG. 5 starts when the control center 100 receives a distribution request.

[0060] In step S200, the processor 111 obtains the presence or absence of the picked-up goods 3b of the user 2. For example, the processor 111 obtains the presence or absence of the picked-up goods 3b of the user 2 by referring to the collected goods database D10 using the user ID of the user 2. In this case, the distribution request may include user ID information.

[0061] If there are picked-up goods 3b (step S210; Yes), the process proceeds to step S220. If there are no picked-up goods 3b (step S210; No), the process proceeds to step S240.

[0062] In step S220, the processor 111 generates command information to move the vehicle 1 from the parking lot 24 to the cargo collection location 22. After the vehicle 1 moves to the cargo collection location 22 according to the command information, the process proceeds to step S230.

[0063] In step S230, the processor 111 determines whether a loaded signal has been received. That is, the processor 111 determines whether the picked-up luggage 3b has been loaded onto the vehicle 1 at the loading area 22.

[0064] If a loaded signal is received (step S230; Yes), the process proceeds to step S240. If a loaded signal has not been received (step S230; No), the processor 111 executes the process according to step S230 again at a predetermined processing cycle.

[0065] In step S240, the processor 111 generates command information to move the vehicle 1 to the boarding and alighting location 21.

[0066] As described above, when the processor 111 executes the process, the AVP function of the AVP system 10 according to this embodiment is realized. Also, when the processor 111 executes the process in this way, the AVP method according to this embodiment is realized. Further, the AVP program according to this embodiment is realized by the computer program 113 that causes the processor 111 to execute the process.

[0067] 4. Modification The AVP system 10 according to this embodiment may be applied in a modified manner as follows. In the following description, parts overlapping with the above description are omitted as appropriate.

[0068] When the control center 100 according to the modification moves the vehicle 1 to the loading area 22 in the parking function or the vehicle dispatching function, it is configured to determine the magnitude of the work load associated with the loading operation or the loading operation of the deposited luggage 3a or the picked-up luggage 3b based on the attribute information of the deposited luggage 3a or the picked-up luggage 3b. Then, the control center 100 is configured to stop the vehicle 1 in a loading space with a shorter traffic line distance as the magnitude of the work load is larger.

[0069] For example, in area 20 shown in FIG. 1, the loading space 23a is farther from the loading facility 30 than the loading space 23b, and the loading space 23b is farther from the loading facility 30 than the loading space 23c. That is, the loading spaces 23a, 23b, and 23c have longer travel distances for the loading operation or the loading work in this order. Therefore, when the control center 100 moves the vehicle 1 to the loading location 22 in the parking function or the vehicle distribution function, the control center 100 is configured to select a loading space for parking the vehicle 1 from the loading spaces 23a, 23b, and 23c according to the magnitude of the work load. For example, when the control center 100 is configured to determine the magnitude of the work load at a gradual level such as "large", "medium", and "small", the control center 100 selects the loading space 23a when the magnitude of the work load is "small", selects the loading space 23b when the magnitude of the work load is "medium", and selects the loading space 23c when the magnitude of the work load is "large".

[0070] When the parking function and the vehicle distribution function are provided to a plurality of users, it is assumed that the loading operation or the loading work is performed on a plurality of vehicles at the loading location 22. By applying the above-described modified mode, the loading space can be efficiently utilized, and the work efficiency of the loading operation or the loading work can be improved.

[0071] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of processing executed by the processor 111 in the parking function according to the modified example. The processing shown in FIG. 6 starts when the processor 111 executes processing for generating command information to move the vehicle 1 from the boarding and alighting location 21 to the loading location 22 (processing according to step S120 in FIG. 4).

[0072] In step S121, the processor 111 acquires the attribute information of the consigned baggage 3a. For example, the processor 111 acquires the attribute information of the consigned baggage 3a by referring to the consignment baggage database D10 using the user ID of the user 2.

[0073] In step S122, the processor 111 determines the magnitude of the workload associated with the consolidation operation of the consignment 3a based on the attribute information acquired in step S121. For example, the processor 111 can determine the magnitude of the workload using the size, quantity, and weight of the consignment 3a as indicators. In this case, the processor 111 can determine that the greater the size, quantity, and weight, the greater the workload. Note that the magnitude of the workload may be given at a phased level such as "large", "medium", or "small" as described above, or may be given by a value obtained by quantifying the workload.

[0074] In step S123, the processor 111 selects a consolidation space for stopping the vehicle 1 according to the magnitude of the workload determined in step S122. Here, the processor 111 selects a consolidation space with a shorter flow line distance as the magnitude of the workload increases. The processor 111 may be configured to acquire the availability status of each consolidation space and information on the flow line distance of each consolidation space by referring to the area environment information 114.

[0075] In step S124, the processor 111 generates command information for instructing the consolidation space selected in step S123. After step S124, the execution of the process according to step S120 ends.

[0076] As described above, by the processor 111 executing the process, the parking function according to the modification example is realized. Note that the vehicle allocation function according to the modification example can also be realized by the processor 111 executing similar processing for the picked-up consignment 3b.
