The system 100 of fig. 1 may be configured and operated in various ways to enable application of the various methods and apparatus described in accordance with the present disclosure.
Referring to fig. 2, a method 200 for assisting in parking a vehicle in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure includes:
step S210: determining whether a target parking space is occupied or not in response to a parking instruction corresponding to the target parking space;
step S220: monitoring the state of the target parking space in response to determining that the target parking space is occupied;
step S230: and controlling the autonomous vehicle to drive into the target parking space in response to the state of the target parking space being monitored to be changed from occupied to idle.
When the target parking space to be erected into by the autonomous vehicle is occupied, the autonomous vehicle monitors the target parking space automatically, and when the state of the monitored target parking space is changed from occupied to idle, the autonomous vehicle is controlled to drive into the target parking space, so that the autonomous vehicle can stop to the target parking space automatically without the need of a user to monitor the idle target parking space and drive into the target parking space, the operation of parking to the target parking space by the user is reduced, and the time for parking to the target parking space by the user is saved.
In the related art, an autonomous vehicle based on automatic driving must stop to a target parking space corresponding to an instruction based on an instruction of a person. For example, the user command is directed to target parking space a, and the autonomous vehicle currently located at point B is driven from point B to target parking space a and stopped. When the target parking space A is occupied by the vehicle at present, the user must resend the user instruction pointing to the other unoccupied idle parking space C, so that the autonomous vehicle at the point B runs from the point B to the idle parking space C to stop. Therefore, for the target parking space a where the user wants to stop the vehicle at his position, the user is required to monitor whether it is free or whether it is free by himself or by a parking space manager and send a message to the user that it is free; after the target parking space A is idle, the user sends an instruction to instruct the autonomous vehicle to stop to the target parking space A. This process tends to be time consuming and energy intensive for the user.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, after a user sends the instruction for indicating the autonomous vehicle to stop to the target parking space A, the autonomous vehicle can automatically judge whether the target parking space A is occupied, when the autonomous vehicle is occupied, the target parking space A is automatically monitored, after the target parking space A is idle, the autonomous vehicle automatically drives into the target parking space A, and the whole process can realize that the vehicle stopping is used for stopping the vehicle at the target parking space A which wants to stop the vehicle at the position of the vehicle only by sending the instruction for indicating the autonomous vehicle to stop to the target parking space A by the user. Greatly reduces the operation of the user and reduces the energy consumption of the user.
It is to be understood that the method according to the present disclosure is applicable to various parking scenarios, in particular to scenarios where there is temporarily no parking space when parking in a parking lot.
In some embodiments, the target parking space may be a parking space within a parking lot. In other embodiments, the target spot may be a parking location of the target site. Such as a garage located at home.
In some embodiments, determining whether the target parking space is occupied is accomplished by a detection device disposed on the autonomous vehicle. For example, a photograph of the target parking space is obtained by the camera, and whether the target parking space is occupied is determined based on the photograph analysis.
In some embodiments, determining whether the target parking space is occupied is accomplished by a cloud server. For example, the cloud server receives information sent by the target parking space indicating whether the target parking space is occupied or not, and sends the information to the autonomous vehicle, so that the autonomous vehicle determines whether the target parking space is occupied or not based on the information.
In some embodiments, after determining that a target parking space is occupied, monitoring the state of the target parking space, as shown in fig. 3, includes:
step S310: controlling the autonomous vehicle to stop at a first position, wherein the distance between the first position and the target parking space is smaller than a preset threshold value;
step S320: detecting the target parking space at the first position to obtain a detection result indicating whether the target parking space is idle; and
step S330: and monitoring the target parking space based on the detection result.
The autonomous vehicle is stopped at the first position close to the target parking space, and the target parking space is detected at the first position to obtain a detection result indicating whether the target parking space is space or not, so that the target parking space is monitored.
The detection process is realized by adopting a sensing device arranged on the autonomous vehicle. Referring to fig. 4, the exterior of a body 401 of an autonomous vehicle 400 is equipped with sensing devices, which may include 2 bullet screen cameras 410a and 4 fish-eye cameras 410b, 4 APA ultrasonic radar devices 420a and 8 UPA ultrasonic radar devices 420b, and so on. The monocular camera 410a and the fisheye camera 410b each have a corresponding detection range, as shown in the area defined by the dashed box in fig. 4.
In some embodiments, detecting the target parking space at the first location is performed by acquiring an image captured by an imaging device and analyzing the image.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, detecting the target parking space at the first location to obtain the detection includes:
step S510: transmitting ultrasonic waves at the first position and receiving ultrasonic echoes; and
step S520: and obtaining the detection result based on the received ultrasonic echo.
The ultrasonic radar is used for sending ultrasonic waves at the first position and receiving ultrasonic echoes to obtain detection results, and the ultrasonic radar is sensitive in sensing when the vehicle moves slowly and is stationary, so that the data processing amount in the process of obtaining the detection results is small, the efficiency is high, and the method for obtaining the detection results is simple.
In some embodiments, the preset threshold value ranges from 1m to 4m.
The first position is set at a position within 4m of the target parking space, so that the detection result of the ultrasonic wave is accurate. Meanwhile, the distance from the first position to the target parking space is at least 1m, so that the influence on the running-out of the vehicle currently occupying the target parking space is avoided.
In some examples, the first location is set to within 3 meters from the target parking spot in response to the ultrasonic radar detection ranging between 0.1-3 meters with the highest accuracy.
Referring to fig. 6A and 6B, a scenario diagram is shown implementing a method for assisting in parking a vehicle according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 6A, when it is determined that the target parking space 601 is currently occupied by the vehicle 620, the autonomous vehicle 610 stops at a first position located laterally to the target parking space 601. As shown in fig. 6B, when the vehicle 620 exits the target space 601 to free the target space 601, the autonomous vehicle 610 monitors that the state of the target space 601 changes from occupied to free and enters the target space 601.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, monitoring the state of the target parking space includes:
step S710: receiving a detection signal from a detection device positioned in the target parking space; and
step S720: and monitoring the target parking space based on the detection signal.
The detection signal comprises any one of a first signal and a second signal, the first signal indicates that the current state of the target parking space is occupied, and the second signal indicates that the current state of the target parking space is idle.
For a target parking space with a longer distance, the target parking space is monitored by receiving a detection signal sent by the target parking space.
For example, for a target parking space beyond 2km, a cloud server receives a detection signal sent by a communication module on the target parking space and sends the detection signal to an autonomous vehicle, so that the state that the autonomous vehicle monitors the target parking space is changed from occupied to idle, and the autonomous vehicle is controlled to travel to the target parking space.
In some embodiments, the detection device of the target parking space may be, for example, a radar sensing device.
In some embodiments, a wireless communication device is further disposed on the target parking space to send a detection signal of the detection device.
In some embodiments, a wireless communication module on the target parking spot may communicate directly with the autonomous vehicle, sending a detection signal to the autonomous vehicle.
According to another aspect of the present disclosure, there is also provided an apparatus for assisting in parking a vehicle, referring to fig. 8, an apparatus 800 including: a first determining unit 810 configured to determine whether a target parking space is occupied in response to a parking instruction corresponding to the target parking space; a monitoring unit 820 configured to monitor a state of the target parking space in response to determining that the target parking space is occupied; and a control unit 830 configured to control the autonomous vehicle to drive into the target parking space in response to monitoring that the state of the target parking space is changed from occupied to idle.
