PARKING CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18523166 titled 'PARKING CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF
The patent application describes a method for controlling parking of a vehicle using a parking control device with a processor.
- Obtaining contour information from a parked vehicle in a parking space using sensor data.
- Identifying different parking types based on the contour information and the vehicle's traveling direction.
- Estimating the size of the parked vehicle based on the selected parking type.
- Exploring a target parking space based on the estimated size of the parked vehicle.
Potential Applications: - Automated parking systems in vehicles. - Enhanced parking assistance features in vehicles. - Improved parking efficiency and accuracy.
Problems Solved: - Difficulty in finding suitable parking spaces. - Lack of accurate size estimation for parking vehicles. - Inefficient parking maneuvers.
Benefits: - Increased parking convenience. - Reduced parking time and effort. - Enhanced safety during parking maneuvers.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Parking Control System for Vehicles" This technology can be utilized in self-parking systems for cars, parking assistance features in commercial vehicles, and smart parking solutions for urban areas.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve parking efficiency? 2. What are the key advantages of using sensor data for parking control?
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of controlling parking of a vehicle provided with a parking control device including a processor includes: under the control of the processor, obtaining first contour information from a first parked vehicle which is parked in a parking space using sensor information obtained via a sensor module provided in the vehicle; identifying a plurality of parking types for the first parked vehicle based on the first contour information and a current traveling direction of the vehicle; estimating a size of the first parked vehicle in response to a parking type selected among the plurality of parking types; and exploring a target parking space in the parking space based on the size of the first parked vehicle.
