Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If autonomous parking is implemented without driver intervention, then productivity is improved by reducing transportation costs and driver boarding, but reliability deteriorates in emergency situations requiring manual intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal apparatus serves as an intermediary between the autonomous vehicle and the driver. It receives control right requests from the driver, transmits them to the vehicle, and manages the transfer of control authority. This intermediary structure allows the system to maintain autonomous operation (improving productivity) while providing a structured channel for emergency intervention (maintaining reliability).
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing control right request mechanisms before emergencies occur. The terminal apparatus is pre-configured to receive and process control requests, and the vehicle is pre-programmed to respond to these requests by transferring control authority. This preliminary setup ensures that when emergencies arise, the transition to manual control can occur quickly and reliably without ad-hoc delays.
2Manufacturing precision
If precise parking control is implemented in restricted areas without GPS signals, then manufacturing precision is improved for parking accuracy, but device complexity increases requiring additional sensors and communication circuits
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces GPS-based mechanical positioning with vision-based optical sensing. The terminal apparatus uses a camera to capture images of the vehicle and surrounding environment, then processes these images to determine vehicle location and orientation. This substitution eliminates dependence on GPS signals (enabling operation in restricted areas) while maintaining parking accuracy through image processing algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal apparatus is designed as a multi-functional device that combines communication circuitry, camera systems, image processing capabilities, and vehicle control functions. By integrating multiple functions into a single apparatus, the system achieves precise parking control in restricted areas without proportionally increasing overall device complexity. The same camera and processor used for vision-based positioning also support communication and control functions.

AI summary
A terminal apparatus for remotely controlling autonomous parking is provided. The autonomous parking managing terminal receives a vehicle control command from a user and transmits the vehicle control command to an autonomous parking managing server. The autonomous parking managing server receives the vehicle control command from the autonomous parking managing terminal and transmits the received vehicle control command to a vehicle. The vehicle performs parking via autonomous driving based on the vehicle control command.
