Remote park assist system
Technical solutions are described for vehicle collision prevention for a vehicle when the vehicle is in a parked condition. An example method includes performing a stationary safety monitoring when the vehicle is in parked condition. The stationary safety monitoring includes detecting presence of a moving object within a predetermined region from the vehicle. Further, the method includes, in response to detecting the moving object in the predetermined region initiating a notification for the moving object to prevent collision with the vehicle.
1. A method for vehicle collision prevention, the method comprising:
performing a stationary safety monitoring when a vehicle is in a parked condition, the stationary safety monitoring comprising:
detecting presence of a moving object within a predetermined region from the vehicle; and
in response to detecting the moving object in the predetermined region, initiating a notification for the moving object to prevent collision with the vehicle; and
detecting the vehicle is in the parked condition, the detection comprising:
determining a geographic location of the vehicle; and
determining that the geographic location is one from a predetermined list of unsafe locations; or
determining that the geographic location is not one from a predetermined list of safe locations,
wherein the stationary safety monitoring further comprises determining a charge level of a power supply and in response to the charge level being below a predetermined threshold level, turning on the vehicle for a predetermined duration to charge the power supply without switching off an active safety monitoring system.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to detecting the moving object in the predetermined region, autonomously displacing the vehicle by a predetermined amount.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
selectively modifying sensor wakeup frequency based on detection of adjacent static objects.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification for the moving object comprises an audible alert from at least one of a horn, a security system, and a chirp system, of the vehicle.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification for the moving object comprises a visual alert from a light of the vehicle.
6. A vehicle comprising:
one or more object sensors;
one or more alert generators; and
a controller coupled with the one or more sensors and the one or more alert generators, the controller configured to perform a stationary safety monitoring when the vehicle is in parked condition, the stationary safety monitoring comprising:
detecting presence of a moving object within a predetermined region from the vehicle; and
in response to detecting the moving object in the predetermined region, initiating a notification for the moving object to prevent collision with the vehicle,
wherein the vehicle, while in the parked condition, is moveable based at least in part on constraints, the constraints being based on a plurality of immovable objects surrounding the vehicle,
wherein the controller autonomously starts the vehicle and autonomously moves the vehicle within the constraints to avoid a potential collision with the moving object, and
wherein the controller is further configured to determine a charge level of a power supply and in response to the charge level being below a predetermined threshold level, turn on the vehicle for a predetermined duration to charge the power supply without switching off an active safety monitoring system.
7. The vehicle of claim 6 , the controller further configured to detect the vehicle is in the parked condition, the detection comprising:
determining a geographic location of the vehicle; and
determining that the geographic location is one from a predetermined list of unsafe locations.
8. The vehicle of claim 6 , the controller further configured to detect the vehicle is in the parked condition, the detection comprising:
determining a duration the vehicle has been stationary; and
in response to the vehicle being stationary for at least a predetermined duration, activating the stationary safety monitoring.
9. The vehicle of claim 6 , the controller further configured to detect the vehicle is in the parked condition, the detection comprising:
determining a geographic location of the vehicle; and
determining that the geographic location is not one from a predetermined list of safe locations.
10. The vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the notification for the moving object comprises an audible alert from at least one of a horn, a security system, and a chirp system, of the vehicle.
11. The vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the notification for the moving object comprises a visual alert from a light of the vehicle.
12. A vehicle comprising:
a power supply; and
a safety monitoring system configured to perform a stationary safety monitoring when the vehicle is in parked condition, the safety monitoring system comprising:
determining a charge level of the power supply and in response to the charge level being below a predetermined threshold level, turning on the vehicle for a predetermined duration to charge the power supply without switching off an active safety monitoring system; and
detecting that the vehicle is in the parked condition, and in response to the vehicle being in the parked condition, detecting presence of a moving object within a predetermined region from the vehicle; and
in response to detecting the moving object in the predetermined region, initiating a notification for the moving object to prevent collision with the vehicle.
13. The vehicle of claim 12 , wherein detecting that the vehicle is in the parked condition comprises:
determining a geographic location of the vehicle; and
determining that the geographic location is not one from a predetermined list of safe locations.
14. The vehicle of claim 12 , wherein detecting that the vehicle is in the parked condition comprises determining a duration the vehicle has been stationary.
