Remote Parking Control for Obstacle-Triggered Space Repositioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In existing parking control systems, operators face a burden when obstacles are detected during autonomous parking, as they need to manually instruct the vehicle to change parking directions, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
The system calculates and implements a moving direction for the vehicle based on the next intended parking direction when the initial parking attempt is suspended due to an obstacle, allowing the vehicle to autonomously reposition for the next available parking space without operator intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the vehicle stops when an obstacle is detected during parking, then safety is improved, but the parking process time increases and operator burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting obstacles in advance during the parking process and automatically determining alternative parking spaces before the vehicle completes its parking maneuver. This allows the vehicle to stop safely when obstacles are detected while simultaneously preparing the next parking space, reducing overall parking time and operator burden.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the operator manually instructs the vehicle to change parking direction after obstacle detection, then parking flexibility is maintained, but operator burden increases and parking efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting obstacles, determining alternative parking spaces, calculating moving directions, and controlling the vehicle to move without operator intervention. The parking control device independently handles the entire process of finding and executing alternative parking maneuvers, maintaining flexibility while eliminating operator burden.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the parking environment, detecting obstacles, and using this information to automatically adjust the parking plan. The parking control device receives feedback from sensors about obstacle locations and vehicle position, then autonomously determines and executes alternative parking spaces based on this real-time information.
3Productivity
If the vehicle autonomously determines and moves to the next parking space after obstacle detection, then parking efficiency improves and operator burden decreases, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The parking control device performs multiple functions using a single integrated system: it detects obstacles, determines alternative parking spaces, calculates moving directions, controls vehicle movement, and monitors parking completion. This multi-functional approach improves parking efficiency while avoiding the need for separate specialized systems for each function.

AI summary
The disclosure includes: performing parking control of moving a vehicle to a target parking position on the basis of an operation command acquired from an operator (M) located outside the vehicle; when the parking control to the target parking position is suspended and the vehicle leaves the target parking position, calculating a moving direction of the vehicle on the basis of a parking direction when the vehicle is parked at a next target parking position; and moving the vehicle in the moving direction.
