Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional parking lot systems face inefficiencies due to marked parking lines, which lead to difficulties in managing parking spaces, especially in large lots, and inflexible operation based on traffic and vehicle types, resulting in poor use of space and confusion for drivers.
Innovation Solution
A virtual parking lot system that uses spatial coordinate information and wireless communication to provide and receive parking-related information, allowing vehicles to identify available spaces without physical markings, using infrastructure like RSUs, BS, and WiFi APs, and telematics devices or smartphones.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If parking lines are marked on the ground, then drivers can identify parking spaces, but parking space management efficiency decreases in large lots and flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical parking line markings with an electronic information system. Parking spaces are identified and managed through electronic displays, sensors, and communication networks that provide real-time parking availability information to drivers, eliminating the need for permanent ground markings while improving management efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic parking management system where parking space information is updated in real-time based on current occupancy status. The system can dynamically adjust parking space assignments, provide real-time guidance to drivers, and adapt to changing traffic conditions, unlike static physical markings.
2Ease of operation
If parking lines are marked, then parking spaces are clearly defined, but the parking lot cannot operate flexibly according to traffic conditions and vehicle types
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts parking space definitions and assignments based on real-time traffic conditions, vehicle types, and occupancy status. Parking spaces can be reconfigured electronically without physical remarking, allowing the lot to adapt flexibly to changing conditions while maintaining clear definition of available spaces through electronic displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of parking space identification from fixed physical markings to variable electronic parameters. The system can modify parking space assignments, sizes, and configurations by changing electronic data and display information, enabling flexible operation for different vehicle types and traffic conditions without altering the physical infrastructure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If parking lines are erased to improve flexibility, then the parking lot can adapt to different conditions, but drivers experience confusion and parking efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical parking line markings with an electronic information provision system. The system uses displays, sensors, and communication networks to clearly define and communicate parking space locations to drivers, maintaining ease of identification while enabling flexible reconfiguration of parking assignments without physical markings.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides preliminary information to drivers about available parking spaces before they arrive or as they approach the lot. Electronic displays and communication systems pre-identify suitable parking spaces based on vehicle type and current occupancy, guiding drivers to appropriate spaces without requiring visible ground markings.
4Quantity of substance
If the parking lot size increases, then more vehicles can be accommodated, but management through parking personnel becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual parking management with an automated electronic system that uses sensors, displays, and communication networks to manage parking spaces. The system automatically tracks occupancy, provides real-time information to drivers, and manages parking assignments, eliminating the need for numerous parking personnel even as the lot size increases.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables drivers to self-manage their parking experience by providing them with real-time information about available spaces and guiding them to appropriate locations. The electronic system serves itself by automatically detecting occupancy through sensors and updating information without human intervention, making the lot scalable without proportionally increasing management personnel.
Data Source
AI summary
A method by which a terminal receives a signal in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method can comprise: receiving first information about a parking space from the infrastructure of a parking lot; generating second information for parking in the parking lot, on the basis of the first information; and transmitting the second information to a vehicle having established a communication link with the terminal. In addition, the first information can include spatial coordinates and a virtual parking line of the parking space. The UE is capable of communicating with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station or a network.
