Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a device, an air mobility, a server, and a method for controlling a vehicle. The device includes a communication device, a memory storing vehicle information and air mobility device information, and a processor. The processor is configured to select, based on the vehicle information, a target vehicle to be coupled to a trailer, select, based on the air mobility device information, a target air mobility device, and transmit, via the communication device, at least one signal. The at least signal includes an indication for requesting the target vehicle to move to a location of the trailer, and an indication for requesting the target air mobility device to capture at least one image containing the target vehicle and the trailer.
Claims20
A computing device for controlling vehicles, the computing device comprising:
- a communication device;
- a memory storing vehicle information and air mobility device information;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- select, based on the vehicle information, a target vehicle to be coupled to a trailer;
- select, based on the air mobility device information, a target air mobility device;
- and
- transmit, via the communication device, at least one signal comprising:
- an indication for requesting the target vehicle to move to a location for coupling the target vehicle to the trailer;
- and
- an indication for requesting the target air mobility device to capture at least one image containing the target vehicle and the trailer,
- wherein the location is determined based on a lateral distance being less than or equal to a first threshold value,
- wherein the lateral distance includes a distance between a first line and a second line, and
- wherein the first line passes through a center of the target vehicle in a direction of travel of the target vehicle, and the second line passes through a center of a front side of the trailer and is parallel to the first line.
A device configured to control a vehicle, the device comprising:
- a communication device configured to receive at least one image containing the vehicle and a trailer;
- a movement controller configured to control movement of the vehicle;
- a vehicle height controller configured to adjust a height of the vehicle;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- cause, based on the image, the movement controller to horizontally align the vehicle with the trailer for coupling the vehicle to the trailer such that a lateral distance between a first line and a second line is less than or equal to a first threshold value;
- and
- cause the vehicle height controller to adjust the height of the vehicle to vertically align the vehicle with the trailer for coupling the vehicle to the trailer,
- wherein the first line passes through a center of the vehicle in a direction of travel of the vehicle, and the second line passes through a center of a front side of the trailer and is parallel to the first line.
A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- causing, based on a first image containing the vehicle and a trailer, the vehicle to move to a horizontally aligned position for coupling with the trailer;
- detecting, based on a second image, a first fastener of the vehicle and a second fastener of the trailer;
- adjusting a height of the vehicle to align a vertical level of the first fastener with a vertical level of the second fastener;
- and
- causing, based on a determination that the vehicle is horizontally and vertically aligned to the trailer, the vehicle to move backward to couple the first fastener of the vehicle to the second fastener of the trailer,
- wherein the horizontally aligned position is determined based on a lateral distance being less than or equal to a first threshold value,
- wherein the lateral distance includes a distance between a first line and a second line, and
- wherein the first line passes through a center of the vehicle in a direction of travel of the vehicle, and the second line passes through a center of a front side of the trailer and is parallel to the first line.
