Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for an efficient method to monitor highly automated motor vehicles within a parking area during Automated Valet Parking (AVP) type 1 journeys, ensuring safety and correct operation.

Innovation Solution

The method involves receiving motor vehicle state data transmitted by the vehicle during its AVP type 1 journey and using this data to monitor the vehicle's state on the infrastructure side, ensuring compliance with specified routes and safety protocols.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the motor vehicle is monitored continuously during AVP type 1 journey, then safety and reliability are improved, but communication bandwidth requirements and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only essential motor vehicle state data (position, speed, status) to the infrastructure system, rather than transmitting all possible vehicle data. This selective extraction maintains monitoring reliability while reducing communication bandwidth requirements and system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The infrastructure system receives and processes digital copies of motor vehicle state data instead of directly accessing the vehicle's complete data stream. This copying approach enables efficient monitoring with reduced bandwidth requirements while maintaining reliability through periodic state updates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If motor vehicle state data are transmitted continuously, then monitoring precision is improved, but communication bandwidth consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring precisionVSAvoidcommunication bandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic transmission of motor vehicle state data at defined intervals during the AVP journey, rather than continuous transmission. This periodic approach maintains adequate monitoring precision for safety while significantly reducing communication bandwidth consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

Only essential state data parameters (position, speed, operational status) are extracted and transmitted, filtering out non-essential data. This selective extraction maintains monitoring precision for critical parameters while reducing overall communication bandwidth requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
