Autonomous Vehicle Parking Control for Dynamic Exit Space Clearance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional autonomous vehicles lack the capability to perform double parking or temporary parking when there is insufficient space, leading to increased time and energy consumption in searching for a parking spot, as they do not support these scenarios effectively.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous vehicle system with a processor that enters a surrounding vehicle monitoring mode to identify and secure an exit space for a target vehicle by temporarily moving the autonomous vehicle through autonomous or remote driving control, allowing it to park in double parking or temporary parking lots, even when space is limited.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional autonomous vehicles continuously search for a parking space or wander around a parking lot, then they can find a parking spot, but time and energy consumption for parking increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous vehicle performs preliminary actions by identifying and selecting a suitable double parking space before actually parking. The system monitors surrounding vehicles and predicts their exit intentions in advance, allowing the vehicle to position itself optimally before other vehicles arrive, thereby reducing subsequent time consumption and avoiding the need for continuous searching.
2Reliability
If conventional autonomous vehicles continuously search for a parking space or wander around a parking lot, then they can find a parking spot, but energy consumption for parking increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary monitoring and selection of double parking spaces before actual parking occurs. By using sensors and processors to identify suitable spaces and predict surrounding vehicle behaviors in advance, the autonomous vehicle avoids continuous movement and searching, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption associated with prolonged driving and sensor operation.
3Productivity
If an autonomous vehicle performs double parking to secure a parking spot, then parking efficiency improves, but it may prevent surrounding vehicles from exiting
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous vehicle implements a feedback mechanism by continuously monitoring surrounding vehicles for exit intentions through sensors that detect movement, ignition, door opening, or communication signals. When an exit intention is detected, the system receives feedback and automatically adjusts its position to create an exit path, thereby resolving the obstruction problem while maintaining parking efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts its parking position based on real-time conditions. Instead of maintaining a fixed double parking position, the autonomous vehicle can move forward or reverse to create exit paths when surrounding vehicles need to leave, making the parking arrangement adaptive and flexible rather than static and obstructive.
4Ease of operation
If an autonomous vehicle temporarily moves to secure an exit space for a target vehicle, then the target vehicle can exit, but the autonomous vehicle's parking stability is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system embraces dynamic adjustment as a normal part of the parking operation. The autonomous vehicle is designed to temporarily move from its initial parking position when exit space management is required, and then return to or reposition in a stable parking location. This dynamic behavior is integrated into the overall parking strategy, allowing the vehicle to maintain both operational flexibility and parking stability throughout the process.
