Automatic Parking Steering Angle Alignment Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle parking systems, such as Remote Smart Parking Assist, often misalign tires and steering wheels due to road surface reactions during automatic parking, leading to incomplete parking and potential accidents.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that includes a processor for controlling automatic parking, which performs steering angle alignment and terminates parking control after ensuring the tire and steering wheel are centered, using a preset threshold angle and distance to prevent misalignment, and includes a sensing device to detect parking spaces and control vehicle movement.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automatic parking control is terminated after steering angle alignment control is completed, then parking efficiency is improved, but tire and steering wheel misalignment occurs due to road surface reaction
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary steering angle alignment control before terminating automatic parking control, ensuring the steering wheel is centered in advance. This preliminary action prevents misalignment caused by road surface reaction after parking completion, while still maintaining high parking efficiency by automating the entire process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the steering angle during automatic parking control and provides feedback to the control unit. When the steering angle exceeds the threshold angle, the system adjusts the steering wheel position in real-time to maintain proper alignment, preventing misalignment after parking completion.
2Manufacturing precision
If the vehicle moves forward or backward repeatedly to maintain alignment, then alignment accuracy is improved, but parking time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the threshold angle parameter dynamically based on parking conditions. By adjusting this parameter, the system optimizes the balance between alignment precision and parking time, ensuring accurate alignment without requiring excessive repeated movements that would waste time.

AI summary
An apparatus for controlling parking of a vehicle, a system having the same, and a method for the same are provided. The apparatus for controlling parking of a vehicle includes a processor to stop the vehicle when the vehicle arrives at a target parking space while performing an automatic parking of the vehicle to the target parking space, to adjust a steering angle, and to terminate the automatic parking after moving the vehicle for a predetermined distance when the steering angle is adjusted and the steering angle is greater than a preset threshold angle and a storage to store a parking path and the threshold angle.
