Vehicle Parking Control for Environmental Change Response
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing parking control systems unnecessarily stop vehicles when detecting objects that do not obstruct movement, requiring operators to repeat parking operations due to changes in parking environmental factors.
Innovation Solution
A parking control method and apparatus that detects changes in parking environmental factors and prompts operators to decide whether to execute a second control to leave the parking space, allowing for prompt transition to a new control mode in response to detected changes, using a system with cameras, ranging devices, and an operation terminal for vehicle control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the vehicle is controlled to make a stop when an object is detected around the vehicle, then the safety is improved, but the productivity deteriorates due to repeated parking operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors parking environmental factors and provides feedback to the control unit. When a change is detected, the system notifies the operator and waits for confirmation before executing the leave maneuver, creating a closed-loop control system that balances safety with operational efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects changes in parking environmental factors and prepares the leave maneuver without requiring continuous operator intervention. The operator only needs to confirm when prompted, reducing manual workload while maintaining safety
2Reliability
If the vehicle stops uniformly whenever a parking environmental factor changes, then the reliability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control system dynamically adjusts its behavior based on the situation. Instead of uniformly stopping for all environmental changes, it selectively notifies the operator only when changes are detected, allowing the system to be both reliable and easy to operate by adapting its response to actual conditions
3Reliability
If the system notifies the operator of every parking environmental factor change, then the reliability is improved, but the loss of time increases due to operator intervention requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit prepares the leave maneuver in advance by calculating the route and positioning the vehicle before actual execution. This preliminary preparation reduces the time needed for operator response and execution, as the system is already ready to act when the operator confirms

AI summary
Provided is a parking control method for causing a control device (10) of a vehicle (V1) to execute a first control instruction on the basis of an operation command acquired from an operator (M). The first control instruction is for moving the vehicle (V1) along a first route to a target parking space. When there is a change in an parking environmental factor of the vehicle (V1) detected after the start of execution of the first control instruction with respect to the parking environmental factor of the vehicle detected prior to the start of execution of the first control instruction, an inquiry is made to the operator (M) as to whether or not it is necessary to execute a second control instruction for the vehicle (V1) to leave from the target parking space.
