Autonomous Parking Control System with Automatic Space Re-routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional autonomous parking systems fail to effectively handle complex environments, leading to poor parking outcomes when vehicles encounter obstacles, as they lack the ability to automatically re-determine a target parking space after initial failure.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that control a vehicle to drive into a first parking space, stop if obstacles are encountered, and automatically determine a second parking space, allowing the vehicle to continue autonomous parking by re-routing to an alternative idle space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If the vehicle attempts to park in the first parking space automatically, then the autonomous parking function is activated, but the parking fails when obstacles are encountered
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of obstacles and path feasibility before finalizing the parking maneuver. When an obstacle is detected during the parking process, the system has already prepared alternative parking spaces and can switch to them without manual intervention, ensuring continuous autonomous operation while maintaining high success rate
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the parking process through sensors and environment detection. When feedback indicates obstacle presence or parking failure, the system automatically adjusts by selecting alternative parking spaces from pre-identified candidates, creating a closed-loop control that maintains both automation and reliability
2Reliability
If the vehicle stops when failing to drive into the first parking space, then safety is maintained, but the parking process requires manual intervention
Solution Approach 1:
When parking failure is detected, the system automatically executes the recovery process: it identifies alternative parking spaces, recalculates paths, and initiates new parking attempts without requiring driver intervention. The system serves itself by handling the entire failure recovery sequence autonomously while maintaining safety through continuous environment monitoring
3Reliability
If multiple alternative parking spaces are prepared, then parking success rate improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification and validation of multiple alternative parking spaces before the parking attempt begins. These candidate spaces are pre-stored with their respective path planning data, so when parking failure occurs, the system can quickly switch to alternatives without complex real-time calculations, achieving high success rate with manageable complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically selects from pre-prepared alternative parking spaces based on real-time conditions. The set of alternative spaces and the selection criteria can be adjusted according to environment changes, obstacle positions, and vehicle state, providing flexibility that improves success rate without requiring a fixed complex structure

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for controlling a vehicle and a storage medium are disclosed. The method includes: controlling a vehicle to drive into a first parking space, the first parking space being a target parking space determined to be in an idle state; controlling the vehicle to stop driving into the first parking space in response to determining that the vehicle fails to drive into the first parking space while the vehicle is controlled to drive into the first parking space; determining a second parking space as the target parking space automatically; and controlling the vehicle to drive into the second parking space.
