Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In temporary or irregularly used parking areas, vehicles often park irregularly, leading to inefficient use of space, as existing fixed parking spaces are not utilized effectively.
Innovation Solution
An auxiliary parking method and system that uses a rear view camera and radio frequency identification transmitters to determine a vehicle's position and display guidance on available parking spaces, ensuring standard parking practices and maximizing space utilization by calculating the vehicle's central axis and offset lines relative to the parking space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If no fixed parking space line is provided in temporary parking areas, then parking flexibility is improved, but space utilization deteriorates due to irregular parking
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes multiple virtual parking spaces with defined boundaries and characteristics before vehicles arrive. These virtual spaces are created through software configuration rather than physical markings, allowing the parking area to be prepared in advance with optimal space allocation while maintaining flexibility for different vehicle types and parking durations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional physical parking space markings to a multi-dimensional virtual space system that incorporates digital boundaries, vehicle identification, real-time status tracking, and dynamic allocation. This adds layers of information and control dimensions that enable both flexibility and efficient utilization simultaneously.
2Area of stationary object
If fixed parking space lines are provided, then space utilization is improved, but parking flexibility deteriorates as vehicles cannot be parked outside fixed lines
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual parking spaces are dynamically created, modified, and allocated based on real-time conditions rather than being static physical markings. The system can adjust space boundaries, capacity, and assignment based on vehicle size, parking duration, and area utilization, providing both structure and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual space system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it defines parking boundaries, tracks vehicle positions, manages allocation, monitors utilization, and provides guidance. This multi-functionality replaces multiple separate systems while enabling both fixed-space efficiency and flexible management.
3Device complexity
If manual parking management is used, then system complexity is reduced, but parking efficiency deteriorates due to inability to provide real-time guidance
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables drivers to independently locate and select available parking spaces through real-time information display, eliminating the need for manual assignment or guidance personnel. Drivers can autonomously navigate to chosen spaces using the provided guidance information, improving efficiency while keeping operational complexity low.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors parking space status, vehicle positions, and area utilization, providing real-time feedback to drivers through displays and guidance information. This feedback loop enables efficient self-service parking by giving drivers current information about space availability and optimal parking locations without requiring complex manual management.

AI summary
Provided is an auxiliary parking method. The method comprises: when a vehicle image acquisition mode is started, receiving in real time a plurality of radio frequency signals synchronously sent by at least two radio frequency identification transmission apparatuses distributed in a parking area; then, according to the received radio frequency signals, determining the position where a vehicle is currently located in the parking area; and finally, according to the determined position where the vehicle is currently located in the parking area, and at least one available virtual vehicle position in the parking area, displaying, in a vehicle image, information for identifying the virtual vehicle position planned for parking, so as to achieve the effect of guiding a vehicle driver to park appropriately according to the information about the virtual vehicle position, thus making full use of the space of the parking area. Also provided are an auxiliary parking apparatus and an auxiliary parking system.
