Street Parking Point Detection at Intersection Exits
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies fail to effectively detect and manage parking-stopping points of vehicles on roads, which can obstruct autonomous driving and hinder safety and convenience, as they primarily focus on stationary obstacles like fallen objects and do not account for dynamically changing parked vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing vehicle behavior data and sensing information to detect parking-stopping points on roads, determining their existence, and distributing this information to vehicles, including a determination criterion acquisition unit, parking-stopping point detection unit, and distribution processing unit, which prioritizes exit areas over entrance areas for detection.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing obstacle detection technologies are used, then stationary obstacles like fallen objects can be detected, but dynamically changing parked vehicles cannot be effectively detected and managed
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static obstacle detection to dynamic detection by continuously monitoring vehicle behavior data (position, speed, acceleration) and sensing information over time. The parking-stopping point detection unit dynamically identifies when a vehicle transitions from moving to parked state, and the existence state determination unit continuously updates whether the parked vehicle still exists, adapting to changing road conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where detection results are distributed to vehicles, and the existence state of parked vehicles is continuously re-evaluated based on updated behavior data and sensing information. This closed-loop feedback enables the system to adapt to changes in parked vehicle status and maintain reliable detection.
2Area of stationary object
If street parking points are detected at both entrance and exit areas of intersections, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but detection accuracy is reduced due to lower priority given to exit areas
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different detection priorities to different locations by setting exit areas of intersections as high-priority zones for parking-stopping point detection. When a parked vehicle is detected at an exit area, it is identified with higher precision and priority compared to entrance areas, reflecting the greater safety risk at exit locations where vehicles may suddenly move into traffic.
3Reliability
If real-time detection and management of parking-stopping points is implemented, then safety and convenience are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves real-time detection and management by creating multi-functional components: the determination criterion acquisition unit gathers diverse data types (behavior data, sensing information), the parking-stopping point detection unit identifies parked vehicles, the existence state determination unit monitors their status, and the distribution processing unit communicates information. Each component performs multiple functions that collectively enable comprehensive real-time management without requiring entirely separate systems.
