Abstract
An automated valet driving method includes: identifying a subject vehicle for an automated valet driving system; and performing an autonomous driving operation for the subject vehicle based on a parking location for the subject vehicle. The parking location is determined based on a parking lot around an airport terminal by referring to at least one of illuminance, weather, and electric charge level.
Claims10
An automated valet driving method comprising:
- identifying a subject vehicle for an automated valet driving system;
- measuring, by vehicle-mounted sensors, illuminance, weather, and a state-of-charge (SoC) of a battery of the subject vehicle;
- performing an autonomous driving operation for the subject vehicle based on a parking location for the subject vehicle,
- wherein the parking location is determined based on a parking lot around an airport terminal by referring to at least one of an illuminance, a weather, and an electric charge level;
- computing, by the system, an SoC threshold derived from at least a distance between terminal areas and an emergency-preparedness energy reserve, and selecting the parking location based on the measured SoC relative to the threshold;
- and
- in response to the selected parking location, generating a drivable trajectory within an operational design domain and commanding a vehicle motion controller to execute the trajectory without human intervention,
- wherein the operational design domain includes geographical, spatial, physical, and environmental factors in which autonomous driving of the subject vehicle is performed including at least one of an autonomous driving system management area, drivable illuminance, drivable weather, or drivable road friction.
