Vehicle Route Information for Unmanned Valet Parking Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In automatic valet parking systems, vehicles with autonomous driving functions may move unpredictably without a user on board, making it difficult for users to track and validate the movement routes of these vehicles.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that acquires movement information from vehicles without users, generates route information indicating time-series positions of the vehicle, and transmits this information to the user's terminal, allowing users to monitor and validate the movement routes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If autonomous driving function is implemented to enable automatic valet parking, then vehicle automation and convenience are improved, but vehicle movement becomes unpredictable and users cannot track the movement route
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by transmitting movement information from the autonomous vehicle to the user's terminal device. The communication unit sends data including position coordinates and movement status to the user, enabling real-time tracking and validation of the vehicle's autonomous movements, thus resolving the information loss problem while maintaining automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit acts as an intermediary between the autonomous vehicle system and the user. It processes movement information from the vehicle's sensors and navigation system, then transmits this processed information to the user's terminal, serving as a mediator that bridges the gap between automated vehicle operations and user awareness.
2Productivity
If the vehicle moves voluntarily or in response to external instructions, then parking lot management efficiency is improved, but user awareness and validation capability of vehicle movements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback mechanism allows users to receive real-time information about voluntary movements and externally-instructed movements. The communication unit transmits movement information including position data and movement status to the user's terminal, enabling users to validate whether movements are appropriate even when the vehicle operates autonomously without direct user control.
3Device complexity
If movement information is not provided to users, then system complexity is reduced, but user ability to confirm movement validity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit serves as an intermediary that selectively processes and transmits movement information to users. It monitors vehicle movements and communicates relevant position and status data to the user's terminal without requiring complex user interfaces or processing systems on the user side, thus maintaining simplicity while improving user awareness.

AI summary
An information processing device includes: an acquirer configured to acquire movement information on movement of a vehicle where a user is not on board, the movement information including position information of a movement destination; a storage configured to store the movement information of the vehicle that is acquired by the acquirer; and a controller configured to: generate route information indicating time-series positions of the vehicle based on the movement information stored in the storage; and transmit the route information to an information terminal of the user.
