Autonomous Driving Transition to Parking Waiting Areas
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current autonomous driving technologies face safety risks when road conditions do not meet autonomous driving requirements, particularly when there is no qualified driver to take over the vehicle.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous driving method and apparatus that allows a vehicle to receive driving-related information about a road section and determine if it meets autonomous driving conditions. If not, the vehicle automatically drives into a designated parking waiting area to ensure safety, and once conditions improve, it resumes autonomous driving mode.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If autonomous driving is implemented without a qualified driver to take over, then automation level increases, but vehicle safety deteriorates when road conditions do not meet autonomous driving requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessment of road conditions before autonomous driving operations. The network side device sends driving-related information about road sections ahead, and the vehicle-mounted terminal evaluates whether conditions meet autonomous driving requirements in advance, preventing unsafe operations before they occur
Solution Approach 2:
A parking waiting area serves as an intermediary zone between manual driving and autonomous driving modes. When road conditions are unsuitable, the vehicle transitions to this intermediate state rather than forcing autonomous operation, allowing conditions to improve while maintaining safety
2Reliability
If the vehicle exits autonomous driving mode when road conditions do not meet requirements, then safety is improved, but driving continuity deteriorates due to manual takeover requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service by automatically managing transitions between autonomous and manual driving modes based on road condition assessments. The vehicle-mounted terminal autonomously determines when to exit autonomous mode and when to resume it, eliminating the need for continuous driver intervention and maintaining driving continuity
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors road conditions through feedback from the network side device and vehicle sensors. When conditions improve, the system automatically feedbacks the readiness to resume autonomous driving, enabling seamless transitions that maintain productivity while ensuring safety

AI summary
An autonomous driving method, an autonomous driving apparatus, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product are provided. The method includes: receiving first driving-related information of a first road section ahead of a road on which a first vehicle currently drives and information about a parking waiting area that are sent by a network side device, where the parking waiting area is used to park the first vehicle before the first vehicle drives into the first road section (S304); then determining, based on the first driving-related information, that the first road section does not meet an autonomous driving condition requirement of the first vehicle (S305); finally, controlling the first vehicle to drive into the parking waiting area (S306).
