Parking system path planning method based on dynamic time windows
The invention discloses a parking system path planning method based on dynamic time windows, and belongs to the technical field of path planning. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: S1, building a work environment model of AGVs in an intelligent garage in a topological method; S2, setting priority for each AGV and each car parking / picking task according to different evaluation criteria; S3, using a Dijkstra algorithm to plan a shortest possible path for an AGV accepting a task; S4, arranging feasible path time windows; S5, designing conflict resolution strategies according to different types of conflicts; and S6, planning a conflict-free optimal path for the AGV using a parking system path planning algorithm based on dynamic time windows. A time-sharing use strategy is used, and the Dijkstra algorithm and a time window method are combined effectively, so that the problem that the existing multi-AGV path planning is of poor flexibility and is prone to deadlock or collision conflict is solved effectively, and a shortest conflict-free optimal path can be planned for an AGV accepting a task. In addition, the overall operation efficiency of an intelligent three-dimensional parking system can be improved effectively, and the car parking / picking waiting time can be reduced for social members.

Autonomous vehicle automatic parking
ActiveUS9944282B1Operation moreFacilitate risk assessmentControl safety arrangementsMarket predictionsDriver/operatorParking space
A computer-implemented method of enhancing safe vehicle operation may include, one or more processors, (1) determining a preferred parking spot for an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle; (2) determining a route to the preferred parking spot from a driver drop off point; and (3) causing the autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle to travel from the driver drop off point to the preferred parking spot following the route controlled by one or more autonomous operation features. The preferred parking spot may be a covered parking spot, a parking spot in a parking structure, or a parking spot in a residential garage. An autonomous vehicle owner may remotely direct the autonomous vehicle to autonomously return to the driver drop off point, such as via their mobile device. Insurance discounts may be provided to autonomous vehicle owners having the self-parking functionality that mitigates or prevents risk of damage to, or theft of, the vehicle.

Road map feedback server for tightly coupled GPS and dead reckoning vehicle navigation
InactiveUS20110257882A1Instruments for road network navigationRoad vehicles traffic controlRoad mapWheel speed sensor
Road map feedback is used in a tightly coupled GPS and dead-reckoning system that collects wheel speed transducer data over a vehicle's CANbus network to compute vehicle range and direction. Road segment information provided by a network server provides a database of constraints that are templated on to current navigation solutions so that corrective feedback can be derived. The dead-reckoning bridges over gaps in navigation solutions that would otherwise occur when GPS signal transmission is lost in tunnels, parking garages, and other common situations. The road map fitting controls drift that would otherwise accumulate during long periods of dead reckoning only operation.

System for automated screening of security cameras
InactiveUS20010033330A1Reduce numberReduce operator fatigueTelevision system detailsImage analysisTerrainImage analysis
The present invention involves a system for automatically screening closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras for large and small scale security systems, as used for example in parking garages. The system includes six primary software elements, each of which performs a unique function within the operation of the security system to provide intelligent camera selection for operators, resulting in a marked decrease of operator fatigue in a CCTV system. Real-time image analysis of video data is performed wherein a single pass of a video frame produces a terrain map which contains parameters indicating the content of the video. Based on the parameters of the terrain map, the system is able to make decisions about which camera an operator should view based on the presence and activity of vehicles and pedestrians, furthermore, discriminating vehicle traffic from pedestrian traffic. The system is compatible with existing CCTV (closed circuit television) systems and is comprised of modular elements to facilitate integration and upgrades.

When an arriving electric vehicle arrives at a car park with parking spaces, a parking state detection means in a parking and power charging system detects the presence of empty parking spaces. An assignment means assigns a ranking of charging performance to each detected empty parking space so that the empty parking space having the charging device of a higher charging performance has a higher ranking of charging performance on the basis of descending order of charging performance of the charging devices. A communication means obtains vehicle parameters of the arriving electric vehicle. A parking space instruction means instructs the arriving electric vehicle to move to and be parked in the empty parking space having the ranking of charging performance selected on the basis of the vehicle parameter such as necessity to charge or degree to easily charge the on-vehicle battery mounted on the arriving electric vehicle.
