INTELLIGENT PARK ASSIST SYSTEM WITH SIGN INTERPRETATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233537 titled 'INTELLIGENT PARK ASSIST SYSTEM WITH SIGN INTERPRETATION
The method described in the abstract of the patent application involves reducing parking violations by utilizing sign information from traffic signs in the vicinity of a vehicle. This information is collected as the vehicle moves, using the vehicle as a frame of reference. The controller of the vehicle then identifies potential parking spots and determines their validity based on the sign information. If a potential parking spot is deemed invalid, a notification is generated.
- Sign information from traffic signs is received and used as the vehicle moves.
- Potential parking spots are identified and their validity is determined using the sign information.
- Notifications are generated if a potential parking spot is invalid.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in smart parking systems to help drivers find legitimate parking spots. - Municipalities could implement this system to reduce parking violations and improve traffic flow.
Problems Solved: - Reducing parking violations and unauthorized parking in restricted areas. - Providing drivers with accurate information on available parking spots.
Benefits: - Decreased parking violations and associated fines. - Improved traffic management and reduced congestion in urban areas.
Commercial Applications: Smart parking systems, urban planning software, traffic management solutions.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology impact overall traffic flow in urban areas? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with collecting sign information for parking spot validation?
Frequently Updated Research: Research on the effectiveness of this technology in reducing parking violations and improving traffic flow in different urban environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for reducing parking violations includes: receiving, by a controller of a vehicle, sign information of one or more traffic signs in an area surrounding the vehicle, wherein the sign information is a time series of data acquired by a set of cameras as the vehicle moves, using the vehicle as a frame of reference; identifying, by the controller, a potential parking spot in an area surrounding the vehicle; determining, by the controller, using the sign information, whether the potential parking spot is valid or invalid for the vehicle; and generating, by the controller, a notification if the potential parking spot is invalid.
