METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE POSITION AND ORIENTATION OF A VEHICLE WITHIN A RETRIEVAL POSITION WHICH IS ENCOMPASSED BY A PARKING AREA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546475 titled 'METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE POSITION AND ORIENTATION OF A VEHICLE WITHIN A RETRIEVAL POSITION WHICH IS ENCOMPASSED BY A PARKING AREA
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for determining the position and orientation of a vehicle within a retrieval position in a parking area based on specified comfort conditions.
- The method determines the vehicle's position and orientation within the retrieval position by considering factors such as the minimum distance between the vehicle's lateral surfaces or doors and structural elements of the parking area, other vehicles, lanes, and pedestrian paths.
- The vehicle is automatically placed in the specified position and orientation within the retrieval position after the automatic parking process.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in automated parking systems, autonomous vehicles, and smart parking solutions.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately positioning and orienting a vehicle within a retrieval position in a parking area to ensure comfort and safety during the retrieval process.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in parking operations, enhanced user experience, and reduced risk of accidents during vehicle retrieval.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include parking management systems, automotive industry solutions, and smart city infrastructure development.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that use sensors and cameras to assist in parking and vehicle positioning within parking spaces.
=== What are the specific comfort conditions considered in determining the vehicle's position and orientation within the retrieval position? The specific comfort conditions considered include the minimum distance between the vehicle's lateral surfaces or doors and structural elements of the parking area, other vehicles, lanes, and pedestrian paths.
=== How does the automatic placement of the vehicle within the retrieval position improve the overall parking process? The automatic placement of the vehicle within the retrieval position ensures that the vehicle is positioned accurately and safely, reducing the time and effort required for the retrieval process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for determining the position and orientation of a vehicle within a retrieval position which is encompassed by a parking area and at which the vehicle is to be retrieved after an automatic parking process. The position and orientation of the vehicle within the retrieval position are determined on the basis of at least one specified comfort condition. In particular, the comfort condition comprises: —a minimum distance between one or more lateral surfaces or doors of the vehicle and one or more structural elements of the parking area and/or other vehicles and/or a lane and/or a pedestrian path; and/or—a specific orientation of the vehicle with respect to a lane direction. The vehicle is automatically provided in the specified position and orientation within the retrieval position.
