Parking Exit Route Planning With Blocking Vehicle Requests
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The issue of vehicles being obstructed in parking spaces due to disorderly parking leads to significant time and effort wastage for vehicle owners who need to manually request other vehicles to vacate their spaces, as current navigation systems may be inaccurate or complex, prolonging the exit process.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle equipped with Internet of Vehicles technology autonomously determines a departure route by detecting surrounding vehicles, requests obstructing vehicles to move via communication, and plans the most efficient path using feedback from other vehicles, reducing the need for manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the vehicle owner manually requests other vehicles to vacate parking spaces, then the vehicle can exit the parking area, but significant time and effort are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables vehicles to automatically detect parking obstructions, plan departure routes, and communicate with blocking vehicles without human intervention. The first vehicle autonomously sends moving request information to second vehicles obstructing its path, eliminating the need for the owner to manually contact other drivers
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical communication (owners physically going to vehicles or calling each other) with automated electronic communication systems. Vehicle-mounted detectors and communication devices automatically identify obstructions and send moving requests, substituting human action with automated electronic processes
2Productivity
If navigation systems are used to plan departure routes, then the exit path can be determined, but the systems may be inaccurate or complex, prolonging the exit process
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential departure route information needed for exiting the parking area, rather than using complex full-featured navigation systems. The detector identifies obstructions and the processor determines a simple path to the exit, removing unnecessary complexity while maintaining effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle autonomously determines its own departure route by processing detection data and communicating with other vehicles, eliminating the need for complex external navigation systems. The system self-manages the route planning function that would otherwise require sophisticated navigation equipment

AI summary
In a method for moving a vehicle out of a parking area, the vehicle obtains map information of the parking area and determines a current parking space of the vehicle and an exit location of the parking area. The vehicle determines a plurality of target departure routes from the current parking space to the exit location, and identifies blocking vehicles on the target departure routes that blocks it from reaching the exit. The vehicle estimates the preferability of each of the target departure routes based on a number of blocking vehicles on the target departure route and a difficulty level of removing the blocking vehicles from the target departure route. The vehicle then selects from the target departure routes a preferred departure route, and transmits requests to remove the blocking vehicles off the preferred departure route.
