Automated valet parking server, autonomous driving vehicle, automated valet parking system
There is provided an automated valet parking server that causes an autonomous driving vehicle in a parking place to perform automated valet parking by instructing the autonomous driving vehicle. The automated valet parking server includes an illuminance information acquisition unit configured to acquire illuminance information of front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle, an illuminance suppression point setting unit configured to set an illuminance suppression point which is a position in the parking place at which illuminance of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle is suppressed based on parking place map information of the parking place and the illuminance information of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle, and an illuminance suppression instruction unit configured to instruct the autonomous driving vehicle to perform illuminance suppression at the illuminance suppression point.
1. An automated valet parking server that causes an autonomous driving vehicle in a parking place to perform automated valet parking by instructing the autonomous driving vehicle, the automated valet parking server comprising a processor and a storage unit storing non-transitory computer executable instructions executable by the processor to implement:
an illuminance information acquisition unit configured to acquire illuminance information of front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle;
an illuminance suppression point setting unit configured to set an illuminance suppression point which is a position in the parking place at which illuminance of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle is suppressed based on parking place map information of the parking place and the illuminance information of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle; and
an illuminance suppression instruction unit configured to instruct the autonomous driving vehicle to perform illuminance suppression at the illuminance suppression point.
2. The automated valet parking server according to claim 1 , wherein the illuminance suppression point setting unit is configured to set the illuminance suppression point at a position corresponding to a landmark for host vehicle position estimation of the autonomous driving vehicle, which is provided in the parking place, based on the parking place map information, the illuminance information of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle, and parking place lighting information associated with the parking place map information.
3. The automated valet parking server according to claim 2 ,
wherein the parking place lighting information includes information on illuminance in the parking place corresponding to a time zone, and
the illuminance suppression point setting unit is configured to set the illuminance suppression point based on information on illuminance in the parking place corresponding to a current time.
4. The automated valet parking server according to claim 1 , wherein the illuminance information acquisition unit is configured to acquire the illuminance information by measuring the illuminance of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle by an illuminance measurement device provided in the parking place.
5. The automated valet parking server according to claim 2 , wherein the illuminance information acquisition unit is configured to acquire the illuminance information by measuring the illuminance of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle by an illuminance measurement device provided in the parking place.
6. The automated valet parking server according to claim 1 , wherein the illuminance information acquisition unit is configured to acquire the illuminance information from image information captured by a front camera of the autonomous driving vehicle when the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle are turned on.
7. The automated valet parking server according to claim 2 , wherein the illuminance information acquisition unit is configured to acquire the illuminance information from image information captured by a front camera of the autonomous driving vehicle when the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle are turned on.
8. An automated valet parking system that causes an autonomous driving vehicle in a parking place to perform automated valet parking by instructing the autonomous driving vehicle, the automated valet parking system comprising a processor and a storage unit storing non-transitory computer executing instructions executable by the processor to implement:
an illuminance information acquisition unit configured to acquire illuminance information of front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle;
an illuminance suppression point setting unit configured to set an illuminance suppression point which is a position in the parking place at which illuminance of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle is suppressed based on parking place map information of the parking place and the illuminance information of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle; and
an illuminance suppression instruction unit configured to instruct the autonomous driving vehicle to perform illuminance suppression at the illuminance suppression point.
