Parking Route Guidance for Reliable Automatic Parking Start
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing parking support systems struggle when the driver stops the vehicle at a position too distant from the learned traveling route, making it difficult to perform automatic driving based on the stored route.
Innovation Solution
A parking support method that stores information on the traveling route and parking target position, and displays guidance information on a display unit to help the driver easily locate the position where automatic traveling can be performed, using a combination of imaging devices, wave transmission/reception units, and a parking support device to facilitate easy parking at known locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the driver stops the vehicle at a position too distant from the learned traveling route, then the vehicle cannot perform automatic driving based on the stored route, but requiring the driver to stop exactly at the learned position reduces flexibility and increases operational difficulty
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by displaying guidance information (traveling route and parking target position) to the driver before the vehicle stops. This allows the driver to advance the vehicle to the correct position manually before automatic driving is activated, ensuring both reliable automatic execution and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback by displaying the learned traveling route and parking target position on a display unit, providing visual information to the driver about where to position the vehicle. This feedback mechanism guides the driver to stop at the appropriate location without requiring precise manual positioning control.
2Measurement precision
If the system stores detailed information on traveling route and parking target position, then parking accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional storage and display components
Solution Approach 1:
The storage unit serves multiple functions: it stores both the traveling route information and the parking target position information. This multi-functionality allows the system to provide comprehensive guidance without requiring separate dedicated storage components for each type of information, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining high parking accuracy.

AI summary
A parking support method is provided for performing automatic traveling of a vehicle based on a parking operation performed in the past. The parking support method performs first automatic traveling based on a traveling route. Thereafter, the parking support method determines whether the vehicle is positioned at a start position within the traveling route, and determines whether the vehicle has stopped at the start position within the traveling route. After the vehicle reaches and stops at the start position within the traveling route, an operation of starting second automatic traveling is received from a user. The second automatic traveling is started when receiving the operation of starting the second automatic traveling from the user.
