VEHICLE MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240249622 titled 'VEHICLE MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a vehicle management device that optimizes parking positions in a parking lot for vehicles equipped with solar batteries and power storage devices. By considering the conversion efficiency of each vehicle's solar battery and the sunlight conditions in the parking lot, the device maximizes the amount of solar electric power generation by multiple vehicles.

  • The device manages parking positions in a parking lot for vehicles with solar batteries and power storage devices.
  • It optimizes the placement of vehicles based on the conversion efficiency of their solar batteries and sunlight conditions.
  • The goal is to increase the overall amount of solar electric power generated by the vehicles as a whole.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Optimization of parking positions based on solar battery efficiency and sunlight conditions.
  • Maximizing solar electric power generation by multiple vehicles.
  • Improving the overall amount of electric power generated by the vehicles.

Potential Applications:

  • Parking management systems for solar-powered vehicles.
  • Energy-efficient parking solutions for electric vehicles.
  • Sustainable transportation infrastructure.

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient utilization of solar energy in vehicle charging.
  • Optimization of parking space for solar-powered vehicles.
  • Enhanced overall electric power generation by vehicles.

Benefits:

  • Increased solar electric power generation.
  • Reduced dependency on traditional power sources.
  • Environmentally friendly transportation solutions.

Commercial Applications: Solar-powered vehicle charging stations for public parking lots.

Prior Art: Research on solar-powered vehicle charging systems and parking optimization technologies.

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing studies on solar energy utilization in transportation and parking infrastructure.

Questions about Solar-Powered Vehicle Management: 1. How does the device determine the optimal parking position for each vehicle? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with increased solar electric power generation in parking lots?


Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle management device for managing parking positions in a parking lot of a plurality of vehicles equipped with a solar battery and a power storage device for storing electric power generated by the solar battery, wherein based on the conversion efficiency of the solar battery of each vehicle and the sunlight conditions of the parking lot, the parking position of each vehicle is set so that the amount of solar electric power generation by multiple vehicles per unit time or the sum total of the amount of power generated by the solar cells mounted on multiple vehicles is large. as a result, the amount of electric power generated per unit time and the sum of the amount of electric power generated of the vehicles as a whole can be improved.
