Abstract
A parking control apparatus includes: a processor configured to generate an outline based on previously parked vehicles, to generate a target reference based on the outline, to select a parking spot for double-parking based on the target reference, and to perform double-parking control on the parking spot when there are no vacant parking spaces by searching for at least a parking space in a parking lot; and a storage configured to store data and algorithms driven by the processor.
Claims19
A parking control apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- generate an outline based on previously parked vehicles,
- generate a target reference based on the outline,
- select a parking spot for double-parking based on the target reference, and
- perform double-parking control on the parking spot when there are no vacant parking spaces by searching for at least a parking space in a parking lot;
- and
- a storage configured to store data and algorithms driven by the processor;
- wherein the processor, when a double-parking guide line is detected in searching for the parking space, generates the target reference between the double-parking guide line and the outline, and generates the target reference parallel to the double-parking guide line.

A parking control method comprising:
- searching, by a processor, for a parking space in a parking lot;
- generating, by the processor, an outline based on previously parked vehicles when there is no free parking space;
- generating, by the processor, a target reference based on the outline;
- selecting, by the processor, a parking spot for double-parking based on the target reference;
- and
- performing, by the processor, double-parking control on the parking spot;
- wherein generating the target reference includes generating the target reference between the double-parking guide line and the outline, and generating the target reference parallel to the double-parking guide line when a double-parking guide line is detected in searching for the parking space.
