Remote Parking Control with Positional Gating for Safe Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Remote parking control systems lack effective means to ensure the user's awareness of the vehicle's environment and power supply status, leading to potential safety issues due to unclear positional relationships between the user and the vehicle, especially when the user is at a distance or obstructed from the vehicle.
Innovation Solution
A control device and method that includes a communication unit, movement control unit, positional relationship determination unit, and reception control unit to restrict movement control instructions from an information terminal based on predetermined positional conditions, ensuring the user's safety by preventing control when the environment cannot be sufficiently recognized.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If remote parking control is allowed from any location, then ease of operation is improved, but safety is worsened due to insufficient user awareness of vehicle environment
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the user's positional relationship with the vehicle and provides feedback by enabling or disabling control instruction reception based on whether safety conditions are met. This feedback mechanism ensures that remote control is only accepted when the user is in a safe position relative to the vehicle, resolving the contradiction between accessibility and safety.
2Ease of operation
If movement control instructions are accepted without positional verification, then ease of operation is improved, but harmful factors increase due to unsafe operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of the user's positional relationship with the vehicle before accepting movement control instructions. By checking safety conditions in advance and preventing control instruction reception when conditions are not met, the system proactively blocks potential unsafe operations, resolving the contradiction between operational convenience and safety prevention.
3Ease of operation
If the user continues control instruction regardless of power storage status, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability is worsened due to potential power failure
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary monitoring of the second power supply device's electric power storage amount and determines whether to accept control instructions based on whether the storage amount is above a threshold. By checking power status in advance and preventing control when power is insufficient, the system ensures reliable operation while maintaining ease of use when conditions are favorable.
