Abstract

A navigation system includes: a control unit configured to: receive a parking facility request for an autonomous vehicle operation of a user vehicle in a vehicle parking facility; retrieve a parking facility map for the vehicle parking facility, including facility information, for the vehicle parking facility, wherein the facility information includes intersection nodes; and generate a facility traversal route for the autonomous vehicle operation of the user vehicle through the vehicle parking facility based on the intersection nodes and the parking facility request.

Claims (30)

1. A navigation system comprising:

a control unit configured to:

receive a parking facility request for an autonomous vehicle operation of a user vehicle in a vehicle parking facility;

retrieve a parking facility map for the vehicle parking facility, including facility information, for the vehicle parking facility, wherein the facility information includes intersection nodes; and

generate a facility traversal route for the autonomous vehicle operation of the user vehicle through the vehicle parking facility based on the intersection nodes and the parking facility request.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to generate the facility traversal route as a thorough parking location search route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle parking operation.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to generate the facility traversal route as a probability based location search route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle parking operation.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to generate the facility traversal route as a facility patrol route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle parking operation.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to generate the facility traversal route as a vehicle recall route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle recall operation.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to generate the parking facility map, including the intersection nodes based on sensor information, map information, or a combination thereof.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to identify an eligible parking location, based on the facility information, for parking of the user vehicle in the vehicle parking facility.

8. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

receiving a parking facility request for an autonomous vehicle operation of a user vehicle in a vehicle parking facility;

retrieving a parking facility map for the vehicle parking facility, including facility information, for the vehicle parking facility, wherein the facility information includes intersection nodes; and

generating a facility traversal route for the autonomous vehicle operation of the user vehicle through the vehicle parking facility based on the intersection nodes and the parking facility request.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein generating the facility traversal route includes generating the facility traversal route as a thorough parking location search route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle parking operation.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein generating the facility traversal route includes generating the facility traversal route as a probability based location search route based on the parking facility request of to initiate autonomous vehicle parking operation.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein generating the facility traversal route includes generating the facility traversal route as a facility patrol route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle parking operation.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein generating the facility traversal route includes generating the facility traversal route as a vehicle recall route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle recall operation.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising generating the parking facility map, including the intersection nodes, based on sensor information, map information, or a combination thereof.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising identify an eligible parking location for parking of the user vehicle, based on the facility information, in the vehicle parking facility.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by a control circuit for a navigation system, the instructions comprising:

receiving a parking facility request for an autonomous vehicle operation of a user vehicle in a vehicle parking facility;

retrieving a parking facility map for the vehicle parking facility, including facility information, for the vehicle parking facility, wherein the facility information includes intersection nodes; and

generating a facility traversal route for the autonomous vehicle operation of the user vehicle through the vehicle parking facility based on the intersection nodes and the parking facility request.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 , wherein generating the facility traversal route includes generating the facility traversal route as a thorough parking location search route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle parking operation.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 , wherein generating the facility traversal route includes generating the facility traversal route as a probability based location search route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle parking operation.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 , wherein generating the facility traversal route includes generating the facility traversal route as a facility patrol route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle parking operation.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 , wherein generating the facility traversal route includes generating the facility traversal route as a vehicle recall route based on the parking facility request to initiate an autonomous vehicle recall operation.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 , further comprising generating the parking facility map, including the intersection nodes, based on sensor information, map information, or a combination thereof.
