Parking Position Planning Around Exit Routes in Frameless Lots
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automatic vehicle parking systems fail to consider the traveling route of exiting vehicles when determining parking positions in parking lots without frames, potentially obstructing exiting vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A parking information processing device that acquires restriction information, determines a parking position based on terrain and restriction data, generates a traveling route to avoid overlapping with exiting vehicles, and outputs this information to a server to update the parking lot's restrictions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the automatic control system selects a parking position at the entrance/exit of the parking lot without considering exiting vehicle routes, then the parking process is simple and fast, but the host vehicle may obstruct another vehicle from exiting the parking lot
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by acquiring restriction information that includes the traveling route of another vehicle before determining the parking position. The processor determines the parking position in advance based on both terrain information and restriction information, ensuring the host vehicle does not obstruct the exiting vehicle's path while maintaining efficient parking speed.
2Loss of time
If the automatic control system determines parking position without considering terrain information, then the parking decision is fast, but the host vehicle may not be able to park safely or accessibly
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple information sources including terrain information and restriction information (traveling route of exiting vehicle) into a unified parking position determination process. The processor integrates both types of information to determine an optimal parking position that is both safe accessible and does not obstruct exiting vehicles, achieving reliable parking without significant time loss.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the system uses restriction information including traveling routes of exiting vehicles, then the host vehicle can avoid obstructing exiting vehicles, but the parking determination process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses restriction information as an intermediary that encapsulates the traveling route of the exiting vehicle. This intermediary data structure allows the processor to consider exiting vehicle routes without directly implementing complex route analysis algorithms, simplifying the overall parking determination process while preventing obstruction of exiting vehicles.

AI summary
A parking information processing device includes a processor configured to acquire restriction information representing a current restricted area where parking is restricted in a parking lot having no parking frames at an entrance/exit of the parking lot from a server via a device communication unit, determine a first parking position for parking a host vehicle in the parking lot based on terrain information representing terrain of the parking lot and the restriction information, generate area information including a first traveling route for the host vehicle traveled from the entrance/exit of the parking lot to the first parking position and the first parking position as a new restricted area, and output the area information to the server via the device communication unit.
