Solution Overview

Problem

Current auto parking technologies result in a vehicle movement state that differs significantly from manual parking, affecting parking experience and safety due to sharp speed fluctuations and potential collisions.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent driving device determines speed limits based on path remaining distance and obstacle distance to plan a parking speed that mimics manual driving, using a first speed limit for path distance and a second speed limit for obstacle proximity, adjusting speed limits at path points to stabilize the parking process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If auto parking technology is used to reduce driving pressure, then automation level is improved, but parking experience and safety deteriorate due to sharp speed fluctuations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation levelVSAvoidparking experience and safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic speed adjustment by continuously planning parking speeds at different path points based on real-time path remaining distance and obstacle distance. The speed limit is not fixed but dynamically adapted to the parking process stage, creating a dynamic speed curve that mimics manual driving behavior and resolves the contradiction between automation and parking experience/safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of parking speed from a constant or simple control value to a dynamically planned value based on multiple factors including path remaining distance, obstacle distance, and path point position. By changing speed parameters adaptively throughout the parking process, the system maintains high automation while improving reliability and parking experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If speed is increased to improve parking efficiency, then productivity is improved, but collision risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparking efficiencyVSAvoidcollision risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary speed planning for multiple path points in advance, calculating appropriate speed limits before actual execution. By pre-planning speeds based on predicted path remaining distances and obstacle positions, the system can maintain higher speeds for better efficiency while ensuring safety through advance risk assessment and speed adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where parking speeds are continuously planned and adjusted based on real-time measurements of path remaining distance and obstacle distance. This closed-loop control allows the system to optimize parking efficiency by maintaining appropriate speeds while continuously monitoring and responding to safety conditions, thereby reducing collision risk.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
