Abstract
An automated valet parking method is provided. The method includes initiating an automated valet parking, transmitting a target position and a guide route from an infrastructure facility to a vehicle, performing an autonomous driving to the target position along the guide route, measuring a vehicle position, calculating accuracy of the measured vehicle position, performing an autonomous parking to the target position.
Claims18
An automated valet parking method comprising:
- initiating an automated valet parking;
- receiving a target position and a guide route from an infrastructure facility;
- performing, by a vehicle, an autonomous driving toward the target position along the guide route;
- measuring a vehicle position;
- calculating an accuracy of the measured vehicle position;
- and
- performing, by the vehicle, an autonomous parking to the target position,
- wherein calculating the accuracy of the measured vehicle position comprises:
- measuring a first distance between a first access point (AP) and the vehicle or a first landmark and the vehicle;
- measuring a second distance between a second AP and the vehicle or a second landmark and the vehicle;
- calculating a third distance between the first AP and the second AP or the first landmark and the second landmark based on the first distance and the second distance;
- and
- calculating the accuracy of the measured vehicle position based on the third distance and a fourth distance that is a predetermined distance between the first AP and the second AP or the first landmark and the second landmark.
