AUTOMATED VALET PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND AUTOMATED VALET PARKING MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18201289 titled 'AUTOMATED VALET PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND AUTOMATED VALET PARKING MANAGEMENT METHOD

Simplified Explanation

An automated valet parking (AVP) management system is described in this patent application. The system is designed to allocate a parking space on a passage in a parking lot to an entry vehicle when there are no regular parking spaces available.

  • The AVP management system uses a tentative allocation process to assign the parking space.
  • During this process, the system considers the scheduled exit time of vehicles already parked in regular spaces.
  • If the scheduled exit time of the first parked vehicle is earlier than the second parked vehicle, the system gives priority to allocating the tentative parking space that is not on the exit route of the first parked vehicle.
  • The allocation decision is based on map information and vehicle management information.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automated valet parking systems in parking lots or garages.
  • Smart parking solutions in urban areas with limited parking spaces.
  • Enhanced parking management systems in airports, shopping malls, and other crowded areas.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of available parking spaces in crowded parking lots.
  • Inefficient parking allocation processes.
  • Difficulty in finding parking spaces in busy areas.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Optimized parking allocation process, ensuring efficient use of available spaces.
  • Reduced time and effort required for finding parking spaces.
  • Improved overall parking management and customer experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

An automated valet parking (AVP) management system executes a tentative allocation process that allocates a tentative parking space on a passage in a parking lot to an entry vehicle, when there is no available regular parking space in the parking lot. In the tentative allocation process, the AVP management system acquires a scheduled exit time of a parked vehicle parked in a regular parking space. When the scheduled exit time of a first parked vehicle is earlier than the scheduled exit time of a second parked vehicle, the AVP management system preferentially allocates the tentative parking space not present on an exit route of the first parked vehicle to the entry vehicle based on the map information and the vehicle management information.
