PARKING SUPPORT METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND PARKING SUPPORT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18201318 titled 'PARKING SUPPORT METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND PARKING SUPPORT SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a parking support method for autonomous vehicles in a parking place. The method involves three steps:

  • Setting an exclusive area where other vehicles are not allowed to travel, ensuring a safe path for the vehicle entering the parking place.
  • Acquiring a parking motion area required for the vehicle to park, when the vehicle initiates the parking motion.
  • Changing the exclusive area to secure the parking motion area.

Potential applications of this technology include:

  • Autonomous parking systems in parking lots or garages.
  • Enhanced parking assistance features in autonomous vehicles.
  • Efficient utilization of parking spaces in crowded areas.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures a safe and obstacle-free path for autonomous vehicles entering and parking in a parking place.
  • Prevents collisions or interference with other vehicles or objects in the parking area.
  • Optimizes the parking process by securing the necessary space for the vehicle's parking motion.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety and efficiency in autonomous parking operations.
  • Reduces the risk of accidents or damage during the parking process.
  • Enables smoother and more precise parking maneuvers for autonomous vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides a parking support method for supporting parking of a vehicle in a parking place, the vehicle capable of autonomous driving at least in the parking place. The parking support method comprises the following three steps. The first step is a step of setting an exclusive area in which other vehicles are prohibited from traveling in order to secure an area in which the vehicle entering the parking place travels, the exclusive area being determined uniformly according to a position of a parking frame. The second step is a step of at least when the vehicle begins a parking motion to park the vehicle in the parking frame, acquiring a parking motion area required for the parking motion and generated by the vehicle The third step is a step of changing the exclusive area so as to secure at least the parking motion area.
