Abstract
An Automated Valet Parking System (AVPS) server controlling automated valet parking of a vehicle, the AVPS server including a transceiver transmitting and receiving data on the automated valet parking and a processor to control the transceiver to receive an availability request from a user backend (UB), recognize that an authority to control a subject vehicle (SV) of the automated valet parking is transferred to an Automated Valet Driving System (AVDS) through handover, and control the automated valet parking of the subject vehicle based on parking-out information included in the availability request.
Claims5
An Automated Valet Parking System (AVPS) server controlling automated valet parking of a vehicle, the AVPS server comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit and receive data on the automated valet parking;
- and
- a processor configured to control the transceiver to receive an availability request from a user backend (UB), recognize that an authority to control a subject vehicle (SV) of the automated valet parking is transferred to an Automated Valet Driving System (AVDS) through handover, and control the automated valet parking of the subject vehicle based on parking-out information included in the availability request,
- wherein an AVPS operation zone is divided into at least three zones including a first zone closest to a pick-up area, a second zone located farther from the pick-up area than the first zone, and a third zone located farther from the pick-up area than the first zone and the second zone, and
- wherein based on the parking-out information including parking duration information, the processor is configured to determine an estimated parking-out time based on the parking duration information, calculate an estimated time remaining until parking out based on a difference between the estimated parking-out time and a current time, determine a destination as the first zone based on the estimated time remaining until parking out being smaller than a threshold, determine the destination as the third zone based on the estimated time remaining until parking out being equal to or greater than the threshold, and determine the destination as the second zone based on the parking-out information failing to include the parking duration information.
A method of controlling automated valet parking of a vehicle by an Automated Valet Parking System (AVPS) server, the method comprising:
- receiving an availability request from a User Backend (UB);
- recognizing that an authority to control a Subject Vehicle (SV) of the automated valet parking is transferred to an Automated Valet Driving System (AVDS) through handover;
- and
- controlling the automated valet parking of the subject vehicle based on parking-out information included in the availability request,
- wherein an AVPS operation zone is divided into at least three zones including a first zone closest to a pick-up area, a second zone located farther from the pick-up area than the first zone, and a third zone located farther from the pick-up area than the first zone and the second zone, and
- wherein based on the parking-out information including parking duration information, the method includes determining an estimated parking-out time based on the parking duration information, calculating an estimated time remaining until parking out based on a difference between the estimated parking-out time and a current time, determining a destination as the first zone based on the estimated time remaining until parking out being smaller than a threshold, determining the destination as the third zone based on the estimated time remaining until parking out being equal to or greater than the threshold, and determining the destination as the second zone based on the parking-out information failing to include the parking duration information.
