Remote Parking Obstacle Avoidance Steering Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional remote smart parking assist systems cannot avoid obstacles during remote forward/reverse control, limiting parking flexibility and increasing the risk of minor collisions when aligning a vehicle with a parking space.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that utilize a processor and communication device to sense obstacles, determine if avoidance is possible, and perform avoidance steering control, allowing the vehicle to align with a parking space while maintaining a specific distance from obstacles, even if the vehicle's location does not match the parking space direction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional RSPA performs deceleration control or braking control while maintaining neutral steering, then collision with obstacle is prevented, but parking flexibility is limited and vehicle cannot be aligned in parking space when location does not match
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between neutral steering mode (for collision prevention) and avoidance steering mode (for parking flexibility). The processor determines whether to perform avoidance steering control based on vehicle position relative to parking space and presence of obstacles, enabling adaptive response to different parking scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the steering parameter from neutral (conventional mode) to non-neutral (avoidance mode) when specific conditions are met. The processor monitors vehicle position and obstacle presence, then adjusts steering angle parameter to enable both collision avoidance and proper parking alignment
2Reliability
If remote forward/reverse control is performed only in a state of perfectly aligning vehicle in parking space, then obstacle avoidance is possible, but parking convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary alignment assessment before executing parking maneuver. The processor determines in advance whether the vehicle is properly aligned with the parking space and whether obstacles are present, then proactively switches to avoidance steering mode if needed, allowing convenient operation without requiring perfect initial alignment
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors vehicle position, parking space alignment, and obstacle presence during remote control operation. Based on this feedback, the processor dynamically adjusts steering control mode, allowing the driver to operate the vehicle conveniently while the system automatically ensures obstacle avoidance and proper alignment

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for controlling the parking of a vehicle, a system having the same, and a method thereof. The apparatus for controlling parking of a vehicle includes a communication device communicating with a remote controller located inside or outside a vehicle, and a processor receiving information about a surrounding obstacle from a sensor and performing avoidance steering control of the vehicle to avoid collision with the surrounding obstacle, when receiving a vehicle control command from the remote controller.
