Automatic Vehicle Parking Adjustment System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current location-based services fail to efficiently adjust parking positions of vehicles due to improper parking, leading to wasted space and obstruction, as they do not effectively notify or facilitate adjustments based on parking conditions.
Innovation Solution
A system that processes sensor information from parked vehicles to determine parking conditions, allowing for adjustments through automatic movement systems, notifications, or a combination thereof, to optimize parking space utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If location-based services provide parking guidance information, then parking information availability is improved, but vehicles are still forced to park improperly because other vehicles are improperly parked
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors parking conditions using sensors and provides real-time feedback to vehicles about their parking status and adjacent vehicle movements. This feedback loop enables vehicles to adjust their parking positions dynamically, transforming static parking guidance into an adaptive system that responds to changing conditions and resolves the contradiction between information availability and proper parking execution.
Solution Approach 2:
Vehicles are equipped with automatic movement systems that can self-adjust their parking positions without human intervention. The system autonomously detects improper parking conditions and executes corrections, enabling vehicles to serve themselves in maintaining proper parking order and resolving the issue of improper parking persistence.
2Productivity
If vehicles are notified about departure of improperly parked vehicles, then parking space utilization is improved, but adjustment opportunity is negated without automatic movement capability
Solution Approach 1:
Vehicles are equipped with automatic movement systems that autonomously adjust their parking positions in response to notified departures. When a vehicle detects that an adjacent improperly parked vehicle has departed, it automatically moves into the newly available space without requiring driver action, thereby realizing both improved parking space utilization and ease of operation through automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares vehicles for immediate adjustment by pre-positioning them close to target parking spaces and having automatic movement systems ready to execute transitions. When a departure is detected, the adjustment action is already prepared and can be executed immediately, maximizing parking space utilization while maintaining operational simplicity.
3Productivity
If automatic movement systems are activated to adjust parking positions, then parking efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into integrated systems: sensors monitor both parking conditions and adjacent vehicle movements, communication systems exchange departure information, and automatic movement systems execute adjustments. By merging these functions into a unified automated parking management ecosystem, the system achieves high parking efficiency while managing complexity through integration rather than separate independent systems.
Solution Approach 2:
Vehicles autonomously perform the complete adjustment process without human intervention - detecting conditions, processing information, and executing movements. This self-service capability eliminates the need for complex manual control interfaces and external coordination systems, reducing operational complexity while maintaining high parking efficiency through autonomous operation.

AI summary
An approach is provided for processing and/or facilitating a processing of sensor information associated with one or more parked vehicles to determine one or more parking conditions, wherein at least one subset of the one or more parked vehicles is configured with one or more automatic movement systems. The approach involves determining at least one adjustment to the one or more of the parked vehicles based, at least in part, on the one or more parking conditions. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, (a) a presentation of at least one notification regarding the one or more parking conditions, the at least one adjustment, or a combination thereof; (b) an activation of the one or more automatic movement systems to perform the at least one adjustment; or (c) a combination thereof.
