Vehicle Remote Dispatch Position Determination for Narrow Parking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In situations where a vehicle is parked in a narrow space, it is difficult for passengers to board due to limited door opening space, especially in rainy conditions or with heavy loads, and existing parking guidance systems require manual determination of dispatch positions, increasing operational burden.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle remote operating system that includes a dispatch position determination unit, which calculates the optimal dispatch position based on the vehicle's parking position, passenger location, obstacles, road width, and traffic conditions, allowing for automatic vehicle movement to a convenient boarding position without manual operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the vehicle is parked in a narrow parking place, then the parking space utilization is improved, but the ease of operation for passenger boarding deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a remote operation terminal as an intermediary between the passenger and the vehicle. The terminal communicates with the in-vehicle device to enable remote vehicle movement, allowing passengers to board from distant positions without physically approaching the narrow parking space.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables the vehicle to serve itself by automatically moving to a boarding position based on remote instructions. The in-vehicle device receives position information and control signals to autonomously navigate the vehicle to an optimal boarding location, reducing manual intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a person manually determines the dispatch position, then the flexibility in positioning is improved, but the operational burden on the person increases
Solution Approach 1:
The in-vehicle device automatically determines the dispatch position by receiving position information from the remote operation terminal. The system self-manages the positioning process by calculating optimal routes and executing movement without requiring manual determination of specific coordinates or positions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating the dispatch position and route before vehicle movement begins. The in-vehicle device prepares the movement plan in advance based on the target position information, eliminating the need for real-time manual adjustments during operation.

AI summary
In a vehicle remote operating system remotely operating a host vehicle VM from a portable terminal 200, a main control unit 112 of an ECU 110 of an in-vehicle device 100 determines an dispatch position of the host vehicle VM on the basis of a parking position of the host vehicle VM and a position of a user U who intends to board the host vehicle VM. Due to this, it becomes possible to dispatch the host vehicle VM according to the parking position of the host vehicle VM and the position of the user U, and convenience is improved in dispatch operation and boarding of the host vehicle VM.
