Remote Automatic Parking Mode Selection Based on Surrounding Environment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote automatic parking support systems fail to guide an optimal parking mode based on the detected parking space and surrounding environment, leading to potential driver discomfort and inconvenience, especially in cases of space constraints and adverse weather conditions.
Innovation Solution
A method for guiding a parking mode in a remote automatic parking support system that detects the surrounding environment and selects between a first mode controlled by a driver's smart key or smartphone and a second mode controlled by a switch within the vehicle, optimizing parking based on factors like space availability and weather conditions, using a controller and sensor system to perform automatic parking operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the system performs automatic parking based on a parking request from a smart key or smartphone (first mode), then the driver can initiate parking remotely from outside the vehicle, but the driver may not be able to exit the vehicle due to shortage of extra space after parking
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the surrounding environment (space constraints, obstacles, weather conditions) before executing automatic parking. The controller guides the driver to select an appropriate parking mode based on pre-detected environmental factors, preventing space constraint issues before they occur
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to the driver about the detected surrounding environment and recommends optimal parking modes. The display shows environmental information and guides mode selection, allowing the driver to make informed decisions to avoid discomfort from space constraints
2Ease of operation
If the system performs automatic parking based on a parking request from a switch within the vehicle (second mode), then the driver has direct control from inside the vehicle, but the system does not guide optimal parking mode based on weather conditions causing driver discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The system detects weather conditions and surrounding environment before parking execution. The controller preliminarily determines the optimal parking mode based on detected weather (snow, rain, wind, temperature) and guides the driver accordingly, preventing weather-related discomfort
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback about detected weather conditions and recommends optimal parking modes through the display. The driver receives information about environmental factors and can select guided modes that account for weather conditions, avoiding discomfort
3Device complexity
If the remote automatic parking support system does not guide optimal parking mode based on surrounding environment, then the system structure remains simple, but the driver experiences discomfort and inconvenience due to lack of environmental adaptation
Solution Approach 1:
The controller performs multiple functions: it controls automatic parking execution and also detects surrounding environment (space, obstacles, weather) to guide mode selection. This multi-functionality adds environmental adaptation capability without requiring a completely separate guidance system
Solution Approach 2:
The display serves as an intermediary between the controller and the driver. It presents detected environmental information and guides mode selection, mediating the interaction between the complex environmental detection system and the driver without adding significant physical complexity

AI summary
A method for guiding a parking mode in a remote automatic parking support system is provided. The remote automatic parking support system includes a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a smart key or a smartphone of a driver positioned extraneous to a vehicle and in the second mode, automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a switch mounted within the vehicle. The vehicle is guided in first mode or the second mode based on a surrounding environment, thereby providing optimal convenience to the driver.
