Parking Management System Dynamic Location Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing variety of services provided by vehicles, such as mobility as a service (MaaS), leads to dynamic changes in parking location needs, making existing parking management systems less convenient for users.
Innovation Solution
A control method for an information processing device in a parking lot management system that acquires surrounding environment information of a parking location, determines candidate parking locations based on this information, generates display information adding the environment details, and outputs it on a display unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If vehicles provide various services (MaaS), then service versatility increases, but parking management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The parking management system dynamically adjusts parking location recommendations based on real-time surrounding environment information and changing service requirements. The system transitions from static parking management to dynamic adaptation, allowing vehicles to select optimal parking locations according to current service needs and environmental conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables vehicles to autonomously determine their own parking locations by providing them with surrounding environment information and candidate parking location data. Each vehicle independently selects its parking location based on its specific service requirements, eliminating the need for complex centralized arbitration and management.
2Productivity
If parking locations are selected without surrounding environment information, then selection speed increases, but user convenience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-acquires and prepares surrounding environment information for multiple candidate parking locations before the user needs to make a selection. This preliminary preparation includes gathering information about nearby facilities, safety conditions, and other relevant factors, so that when the user needs to select a parking location, the information is already ready for immediate presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an information intermediary layer that processes and presents surrounding environment information to the user. Instead of directly exposing complex environmental data, the system filters, organizes, and presents relevant information in a user-friendly format, enabling quick decision-making without overwhelming the user with raw data.
3Productivity
If candidate parking locations are determined without surrounding environment information, then determination efficiency increases, but location selection accuracy decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system evaluates different parking locations based on their specific local characteristics and surrounding environment information. Each candidate parking location is assessed according to its unique features such as proximity to specific facilities, safety conditions, and suitability for particular vehicle services, rather than applying uniform criteria to all locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts evaluation parameters and weighting factors based on the specific service requirements and surrounding environment. Different parameters become more or less important depending on the context, allowing the system to accurately determine candidate parking locations for various service scenarios while maintaining efficient processing.

AI summary
A control method is of an information processing device used for a parking lot management system. The control method causes a computer of the information processing device to perform: acquiring surrounding environment information of a parking location from the parking lot management system; determining a candidate parking location of a vehicle, based on the surrounding environment information; generating display information representing the candidate parking location to which the surrounding environment information is added; and causing a display unit of the information processing device to output the display information.
