Abstract
Disclosed are a device and a method of controlling a remote parking assist function capable of determining in advance whether to enter, adjustment, or cancel the remote parking assist function using direct or indirect environment information. The device for controlling a remote parking assist function may collect direct and indirect environment information on a location where a vehicle is to be parked from a surrounding-environment information source, analyze the collected information, and cause activation of at least one of an entry control function, an adjustment control function, or a cancellation control function.
Claims19
A device for controlling a remote parking assist function, the device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the device to:
- collect direct environment information and indirect environment information on a parking location;
- determine a combined risk score by combining at least one risk score assigned to the direct environment information and at least one risk score assigned to the indirect environment information;
- and
- cause activation of:
- an entry control function by activating, based on the combined risk score being less than a predetermined adjustment score, the remote parking assist function, according to an operation of a driver, at a first output torque increase rate per unit time and at a first braking torque increase rate per unit time,
- an adjustment control function by activating, based on the combined risk score being greater than the predetermined adjustment score and being less than a predetermined prohibition score, the remote parking assist function, according to the operation of the driver, at a second output torque increase rate per unit time and at a second braking torque increase rate per unit time, wherein the second output torque increase rate per unit time is different from the first output torque increase rate per unit time, and wherein the second braking torque increase rate per unit time is different from the first braking torque increase rate per unit time, and
- a cancellation control function by requesting, based on the combined risk score being greater than the predetermined prohibition score, the driver to cancel the remote parking assist function.

A method comprising:
- receiving a request that a remote parking assist function be performed;
- collecting direct environment information and indirect environment information on a parking location;
- determining a combined risk score by combining at least one risk score assigned to the direct environment information with at least one risk score assigned to the indirect environment information;
- and
- causing activation of:
- an entry control function by activating, based on the combined risk score being less than a predetermined adjustment score, the remote parking assist function, according to an operation of a driver, at a first output torque increase rate per unit time and at a first braking torque increase rate per unit time,
- an adjustment control function by activating, based on the combined risk score being greater than the predetermined adjustment score and being less than a predetermined prohibition score, the remote parking assist function, according to the operation of the driver, at a second output torque increase rate per unit time and at a second braking torque increase rate per unit time, wherein the second output torque increase rate per unit time is different from the first output torque increase rate per unit time, and wherein the second braking torque increase rate per unit time is different from the first braking torque increase rate per unit time, and
- a cancellation control function by requesting, based on the combined risk score being greater than the predetermined prohibition score, the driver to cancel the remote parking assist function.
