Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automatic parking systems do not adequately address the need to determine appropriate evacuation spaces for autonomous driving vehicles based on specific failure types, potentially causing obstruction or unsafe conditions due to uniform evacuation instructions.
Innovation Solution
An automatic parking system that includes a failure type determination unit, an evacuation space determination unit, and a vehicle instruction unit to instruct autonomous driving vehicles to evacuate to specific spaces based on the type of failure, ensuring safe and efficient parking lot management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If uniform evacuation position is determined for all autonomous driving vehicles, then the evacuation process is simple and quick, but the evacuation space may not be appropriate for specific failure types causing obstruction or unsafe conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the evacuation process by determining evacuation positions based on different failure types (e.g., autonomous driving ECU abnormality, external sensor abnormality, brake abnormality). Instead of a uniform evacuation position, the system divides evacuation scenarios into multiple categories, each with specific position determination rules that account for the nature of the failure, thereby ensuring appropriate and safe evacuation spaces for each failure type.
2Stability of the object's composition
If autonomous driving vehicles continue to stop at the contact position after failure, then the vehicle remains in place, but it obstructs the passage of other vehicles and creates unsafe conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by determining and instructing the evacuation position before the vehicle needs to move. The system determines the appropriate evacuation position based on the failure type, then instructs the autonomous driving vehicle to evacuate to that position proactively. This prevents the vehicle from remaining stationary and obstructing the passage, while ensuring the evacuation is performed to a safe and appropriate location.
3Reliability
If detailed failure type determination and customized evacuation space determination are implemented, then the evacuation is more appropriate and safe, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the autonomous driving vehicle to automatically determine its own evacuation position based on its failure type. The vehicle's own information (failure type, position information) is used to determine the evacuation position without requiring complex external intervention for each case. This reduces system complexity while maintaining high reliability through automated, failure-type-specific evacuation position determination.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the failure type determination to adjust the evacuation position determination. The failure type information feeds back into the evacuation position determination process, allowing the system to select appropriate evacuation positions based on the specific failure characteristics. This feedback mechanism ensures high reliability without requiring overly complex manual intervention for each failure scenario.

AI summary
An automatic parking system park autonomous driving vehicles in a target parking space in a parking lot by instructing the autonomous driving vehicle in the parking lot. The system includes: a failure type determination unit configured to determine a failure type from among a plurality of preset failure type candidates, when a vehicle-induced failure occurs in an automated vehicle under autonomous driving in accordance with the instruction, an evacuation space determination unit configured to determine an evacuation space based on the failure type determined by the failure type determination unit, the position information of the autonomous driving vehicle, and the parking lot map information, and a vehicle instruction unit configured to execute an evacuation instruction to evacuate the autonomous driving vehicle to the evacuation space.
