Autonomous Parking Interface Control Along a Pre-Learned Path
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing autonomous driving technologies for automated parking are limited by the need for a vehicle to detect a parking space before initiating parking, leading to uncertain scenarios on the road section from the parking lot entrance to the target space, compromising safety.
Innovation Solution
An interaction method and apparatus that activates an autonomous driving mode based on the activation state of a parking interface, performs interface display control in response to scenario changes, and automates parking into a pre-learned parking path, enhancing user interaction and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the vehicle waits to detect a target parking space before initiating automated parking, then the parking operation can be performed, but the safety is poor due to uncertainty in the road section from the entrance to the parking space
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-learning the parking path and presenting it to the user for confirmation before actual automated parking execution. This allows the vehicle to plan and verify the route in advance, reducing operational uncertainty and improving safety by ensuring the path is valid before committing to automated driving.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the vehicle requires detection of available parking space before automated parking, then the parking can be executed, but the user experience is limited with single-mode activation
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements multi-functionality by supporting multiple activation modes (manual activation, automatic activation upon entering parking lot, and automatic activation upon detecting available space) within a single autonomous driving system. This allows the same core functionality to serve different user preferences and scenarios without requiring separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The activation mechanism is made dynamic by automatically adjusting the activation state based on detected conditions. The system transitions between different activation modes depending on whether the vehicle is in a parking lot and whether available spaces are detected, providing adaptive behavior that responds to real-time environmental conditions.
3Loss of information
If the vehicle provides real-time information during autonomous driving, then the user is informed of scenario changes, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by providing real-time information to the user during autonomous driving, including scenario changes, path following status, and parking space detection. This keeps the user informed about the system's state and actions, maintaining situational awareness without requiring complex manual controls.
Solution Approach 2:
The information presentation is segmented by providing specific, targeted information for different driving scenarios rather than overwhelming the user with all possible data simultaneously. The interface presents relevant information based on the current situation, such as path information during transit and parking space information when approaching the destination.
