Airport Valet Parking Allocation Using Weather, Light, and Charge
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automated valet driving systems lack an efficient method for determining optimal parking locations for vehicles at airport terminals, considering factors like illuminance, weather, and electric charge levels.
Innovation Solution
The system identifies a subject vehicle for automated valet driving and performs autonomous driving operations based on a determined parking location. This location is chosen within a parking lot around an airport terminal, considering illuminance, weather, and electric charge levels to ensure safe and efficient valet driving.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the system determines parking location based on multiple factors (illuminance, weather, electric charge level), then the safety and efficiency of automated valet driving is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The parking location determination process is segmented into multiple independent evaluation dimensions: illuminance assessment, weather condition assessment, and electric charge level assessment. Each dimension is evaluated separately and then integrated to determine the final parking location, making the complex system more manageable and maintainable
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary assessments of illuminance, weather, and electric charge levels before making the parking location decision. By evaluating these factors in advance and determining the optimal parking area beforehand, the system ensures safe and efficient automated valet driving without increasing operational complexity during execution
2Productivity
If the system determines parking location based on multiple factors (illuminance, weather, electric charge level), then the operational efficiency is improved, but the computational requirements and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system evaluates illuminance, weather, and electric charge level factors in advance before the vehicle needs to be parked. By determining the optimal parking area beforehand based on these pre-assessed conditions, the system improves operational efficiency without incurring time loss during the actual parking operation
Solution Approach 2:
The automated valet driving system independently assesses multiple factors and determines the optimal parking location without requiring real-time human intervention or complex real-time processing, thereby improving operational efficiency while minimizing processing time

AI summary
An automated valet driving method includes: identifying a subject vehicle for an automated valet driving system; and performing an autonomous driving operation for the subject vehicle based on a parking location for the subject vehicle. The parking location is determined based on a parking lot around an airport terminal by referring to at least one of illuminance, weather, and electric charge level.
