Parking Exit Control Using Preselected Driver-Preferred Direction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle control apparatuses for parking assistance require drivers to manually select exit directions, which is time-consuming and burdensome, especially when transitioning from parking modes to exit modes.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control apparatus that uses sensors to determine preferred exit methods based on vehicle surroundings and parking modes, pre-selecting the most likely exit option on a display screen, reducing the need for driver input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the system displays multiple exit direction options for driver selection, then the driver has full control over exit direction selection, but the operation time and driver burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit performs preliminary analysis of vehicle surrounding information and parking mode to determine the most appropriate exit direction before displaying options to the driver. This preliminary action reduces the driver's selection burden while maintaining flexibility, as the system pre-processes multiple exit methods and presents them in an optimized order or highlights the recommended option.
2Productivity
If the system requires manual selection of exit direction, then the driver can choose the most suitable exit method, but the time required for direction selection increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit determines multiple exit methods in advance based on sensor data and parking mode information before the driver needs to select. This preliminary determination of exit directions reduces the time required for selection while still allowing the driver to review and choose from pre-analyzed options.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-analysis of the parking situation and automatically generates recommended exit directions without requiring the driver to manually evaluate each option. The control unit uses surrounding information and parking mode data to self-determine appropriate exit methods, reducing the driver's time investment while maintaining selection flexibility.

AI summary
A vehicle control apparatus executes parking assistance control in accordance with an exit method selected on a screen. The vehicle control apparatus is configured to select an exit method estimated that a driver of a vehicle is likely to desire as a specific exit method from among a plurality of exit methods and causes a display device to display the screen in a state where the specific exit method is selected in advance.
