Parking Position Adjustment Device for Vehicle Repositioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing parking systems do not provide effective assistance for adjusting the position of a vehicle already parked within a parking space, leading to driver mental fatigue and uncertainty, especially when considering the vehicle's path and peripheral relationships.
Innovation Solution
A parking position adjustment device that includes a current position setting unit, a target parking position setting unit, a movement path calculation unit, and a camera to capture peripheral images, allowing for accurate setting and calculation of a target parking position within the parking space, reducing mental burden and ensuring safe entry/exit space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the driver manually adjusts the vehicle position within a parking space by paying close attention to the periphery, then the parking position can be corrected, but the driver's mental fatigue increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically captures peripheral images, calculates distances to objects, and determines the movement path without driver intervention. The driver simply needs to initiate the adjustment and follow the displayed path, while the system performs the complex peripheral monitoring and path calculation tasks automatically
Solution Approach 2:
The manual monitoring and path planning task is replaced by an automated system using cameras, image processing, and path calculation algorithms. The system substitutes the driver's cognitive and manual operations with automated visual detection and computational path planning
2Reliability
If the driver focuses on peripheral conditions to avoid obstacles during position adjustment, then collision risk is reduced, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary automated monitoring system that acts as a mediator between the driver and the peripheral environment. The camera system and image processing algorithms serve as intermediaries to detect obstacles and calculate safe paths, reducing the direct cognitive burden on the driver while maintaining high reliability
3Ease of operation
If the vehicle is parked off-center to accommodate adjacent vehicles, then entry/exit space is improved, but the vehicle may not be optimally positioned within the parking space
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary automated analysis of the parking environment, including capturing peripheral images, identifying objects, calculating distances, and determining the optimal movement path before the driver executes the position adjustment. This preliminary automated preparation ensures both entry/exit convenience and optimal positioning

AI summary
A parking position adjustment device that assists in correctly changing a parking position within a parking space in which a vehicle has already parked is provided. The parking position adjustment device includes: a current position setting unit that sets the position in which a vehicle is already parked as a current position; a parking space specification unit that specifies a parking space, in which the vehicle is parked, that includes the current position; a target parking position setting unit that sets, within the parking space, a target parking position to which the vehicle is to be moved from the current position; and a movement path calculation unit that calculates a movement path of the vehicle from the current position to the target parking position.
