System, method, infrastructure, and vehicle for automated valet parking
View Patent ↗A system for and a method of supporting automated valet parking, and an infrastructure and a vehicle for automated valet parking are provided. An operation method of the infrastructure includes initiating an automated valet parking procedure for a vehicle, determining a target position for the vehicle and a guide route leading to the target position, determining a display range of the guide route based on at least one of vehicle information, driving information, or environment information, and providing the guide route based on the display range.
1. An operation method of an infrastructure supporting an automated valet parking service, the method comprising:
initiating an automated valet parking procedure;
determining a target position for a vehicle and a guide route that indicates a movement path from a current position of the vehicle to the target position;
determining a portion of the movement path as a display range of the guide route based on at least one of vehicle information, driving information, or environment information;
determining lighting devices installed at a position corresponding to the determined display range from among a plurality of lighting devices in the parking lot as lighting devices to be emitted, and
providing the guide route using the determined lighting devices.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining of the portion of the movement path as the display range of the guide route comprises:
determining, based on at least one of the vehicle information, a first portion of the movement path as a first display range or a second portion of the movement path as a second display range that is different from the first display range,
wherein the vehicle information comprises at least one of vehicle type information or built-in sensor information of the vehicle.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining of the portion of the movement path as the display range of the guide route comprises:
determining, based on at least one of the environment information, a first portion of the movement path as a first display range or a second portion of the movement path as a second display range that is different from the first display range,
wherein the environment information comprises at least one of parking lot information, road surface information, road structure, or motion information of nearby vehicles.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining of the portion of the movement path as the display range of the guide route comprises:
determining, based on at least one of the driving information, a first portion of the movement path as a first display range or a second portion of the movement path as a second display range that is different from the first display range,
wherein the driving information comprises at least one of lane change information, vehicle speed change information, or vehicle turn information.
5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: applying a weight to at least one of the vehicle information, the driving information, or the environment information.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining of the portion of the movement path as the display range of the guide route comprises:
changing the display range at a request of the vehicle.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the display range of the guide route comprises:
determining the display range of the guide route based on a predetermined display range corresponding to the vehicle information, the driving information, or the environment information.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the display range comprises a range of LED lamps that illuminate among all LED lamps buried in a ground of a parking lot.
9. An automated valet parking method comprising:
initiating an automated valet parking procedure;
determining, by an infrastructure, a target position for a vehicle and a guide route that indicates a movement path from a current position of the vehicle to the target position;
determining, by the infrastructure, a portion of the movement path as a display range of the guide route based on at least one of vehicle information, driving information, or environment information and determining lighting devices installed at a position corresponding to the determined display range from among a plurality of lighting devices in the parking lot as lighting devices to be emitted;
providing, by the infrastructure, the guide route to the vehicle using the determined lighting devices; and
performing, by the vehicle, autonomous driving toward the target position along the guide route.
10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein determining the portion of the movement path as the display range of the guide route comprises:
determining, based on at least one of the vehicle information, a first portion of the movement path as a first display range, or a second portion of the movement path as a second display range that is different from the first display range,
wherein the vehicle information comprises at least one of vehicle type information or built-in sensor information of the vehicle.
11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein determining the portion of the movement path as the display range of the guide route comprises:
determining, based on at least one of the environment information, a first portion of the movement path as a first display range, or a second portion of the movement path as a second display range that is different from the first display range,
wherein the environment information comprises at least one of parking lot information, road surface information, road structure, or motion information of nearby vehicles.
12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein determining the portion of the movement path as the display range of the guide route comprises:
determining, based on at least one of the driving information, a first portion of the movement path as a first display range, or a second portion of the movement path as the second display range that is different from the first display range,
wherein the driving information comprises at least one of lane change information, vehicle speed change information, or vehicle turn information.
13. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising: applying a weight to at least one of the vehicle information, the driving information, or the environment information.
14. The method according to claim 9 , wherein determining the portion of the movement path as the display range of the guide route comprises:
changing the display range at a request of the vehicle.
15. The method according to claim 9 , wherein determining the display range of the guide route comprises:
determining the display range of the guide route based on a predetermined display range corresponding to the vehicle information, the driving information, or the environment information.
16. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the display range comprises a range of LED lamps that illuminate among all LED lamps buried in a ground of a parking lot.
17. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising: detecting, by the vehicle, the guide route through sensors mounted in the vehicle.
