Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for identifying AVP motor vehicles in automated valet parking systems rely on light code recognition, which can be inefficient and require additional time for vehicle localization.

Innovation Solution

A method that compares the driving behavior of an AVP motor vehicle, determined on the vehicle side, with the driving behavior of other vehicles in the same region, as determined by the infrastructure side, to identify and localize the AVP motor vehicle.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If light code recognition is used to identify AVP motor vehicles, then vehicle identification can be achieved, but the process is inefficient and requires additional time for vehicle localization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle identification accuracyVSAvoidvehicle localization time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The infrastructure determines the driving behavior of the AVP motor vehicle during manual guidance within the parking area before the AVP process officially starts. This preliminary determination of driving behavior (trajectory, speed, acceleration patterns) allows the system to pre-identify and pre-localize the vehicle, so that when the AVP process begins, the vehicle is already identified and localized, eliminating waiting time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system compares the driving behavior determined on the infrastructure side with the driving behavior determined on the motor vehicle side. This feedback mechanism verifies identification accuracy by cross-checking independently determined driving behaviors, ensuring reliable vehicle identification while maintaining efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If driving behavior comparison is used to identify AVP motor vehicles, then vehicle localization time is reduced, but the complexity of the identification process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle identification efficiencyVSAvoididentification process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AVP motor vehicle itself determines its own driving behavior (trajectory, speed, acceleration) during manual guidance and transmits this information to the infrastructure. The infrastructure then compares this self-reported driving behavior with its own observations. This self-service approach simplifies the overall system architecture by utilizing the vehicle's own sensors and processing capabilities rather than requiring complex external identification systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The driving behavior determination system serves multiple functions: it identifies the vehicle, localizes the vehicle, and provides verification through comparison. This multi-functional approach consolidates multiple identification methods into a single unified process, reducing overall system complexity while improving efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
