Parking Trajectory Recording Across Manual and Automated Maneuvers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle systems lack efficient methods to record and store travel trajectories for repeat performance of parking maneuvers, particularly in a way that integrates both manual and automated driving sections seamlessly.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle apparatus and method that captures trajectory data during manual and automated driving phases, allowing seamless integration of manual and automatic parking maneuvers by recording and storing the travel trajectory, including coordinates, orientation, and speed, and enabling automated replay.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual driving guidance is recorded separately from automated parking maneuvers, then the recording system can capture user intent, but the travel trajectory becomes interrupted and requires multiple recording sessions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the recording of manual driving trajectories with automated parking maneuvers into a single continuous process. The recording device automatically continues recording through the automated parking phase without requiring user intervention to start or stop recording, creating an uninterrupted complete trajectory that combines both manual and automated sections.
2Productivity
If the system automatically detects parking spaces and offers automated parking, then parking efficiency increases, but the user must explicitly accept the offer to initiate recording
Solution Approach 1:
The recording device performs self-service by automatically detecting when an automated parking maneuver is initiated and continuing the recording process without requiring explicit user commands. The system monitors its own operational state and autonomously manages the recording process, eliminating the need for users to manually start or stop recording during automated phases.
3Measurement precision
If trajectory recording is manually initiated by the user, then recording accuracy is ensured, but the user must be present and active during the entire process
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback from its own operational sensors and state information to automatically manage the recording process. By monitoring when automated parking maneuvers are active, the recording device automatically adjusts its operation to continue capturing trajectory data without user intervention, maintaining data completeness while reducing user involvement.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus for recording a travel trajectory for a parking maneuver by a vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus is configured to record, during a travel of the vehicle, a first section of the travel trajectory, in which the longitudinal and/or the lateral guidance of the vehicle is effected manually by the driver of the vehicle. The apparatus is furthermore configured to recognize, during the travel of the vehicle, that an automatic parking maneuver needs to be performed, and to record, during the performance of the automatic parking maneuver as a continuation of the travel of the vehicle, a second section of the travel trajectory, in which the longitudinal and/or the lateral guidance is effected in an automated manner by the vehicle.
