Smart Parking Assistant System Driver Intention Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current smart parking assistant systems (SPAS) lack the ability to selectively perform parking alignment functions based on driver intention, leading to inconvenience and reduced productivity, as they often automatically execute parking alignment without considering the driver's preferences or alignment references.
Innovation Solution
A smart parking assistant system with a determination controller that confirms driver intention for automatic parking alignment, allowing selective execution of parking alignment functions, including guiding driver inputs through sound or text announcements to ensure alignment with reference distances and angles, and terminating functions based on driver input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the SPAS automatically executes parking alignment function, then the parking alignment precision is improved, but the driver convenience deteriorates due to forced operation against driver intention
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its level of automation based on detected driver intention. When driver intention for parking alignment is detected, the system automatically executes the alignment function. When no driver intention is detected, the system terminates the perpendicular parking function without forcing alignment, thereby adapting to driver preferences and avoiding forced operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The determination controller continuously monitors driver input (such as steering wheel operations) to detect driver intention. This feedback mechanism allows the system to distinguish between cases where automatic alignment is desired and cases where the driver prefers manual control, enabling selective execution or termination of the parking alignment function.
2Manufacturing precision
If the SPAS performs parking alignment function regardless of driver intention, then the parking alignment precision is improved, but the system productivity deteriorates due to unnecessary operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs parking alignment only partially or selectively based on detected driver intention rather than always executing the full alignment sequence. When driver intention is not detected, the system terminates the perpendicular parking function without performing alignment, avoiding unnecessary operations and improving overall system productivity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the driver manually performs perpendicular parking, then the driver flexibility is improved, but the parking alignment precision deteriorates without SPAS assistance
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service by detecting when the driver completes manual perpendicular parking and then offering parking alignment assistance if needed. The determination controller monitors for completion of manual parking operations and can subsequently activate the parking alignment function to improve precision, allowing the driver to benefit from automation only when desired.
