Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a system and method for operating a parking lot where both manually driven vehicles and automatically driven vehicles are present.

A “manually driven vehicle” is a vehicle (for example, a passenger car) that is operated by a person, and an “automatically driven vehicle” is a vehicle that can run automatically without being operated by a person. Self-driving cars recognize the surrounding environment with radar, GPS, cameras, etc., and drive autonomously simply by specifying a destination.
Both manual and self-driving vehicles are simply referred to as "vehicles" unless a distinction is required.

In a parking lot that has a large number of parking spaces (for example, 50 or more) for parking vehicles, conventionally, the driver of a manually operated vehicle searches for an empty parking space, drives there, and parks there. It is done. In that case, the driver gets on and off within the parking frame of the vehicle.
However, in this case, drivers and their passengers often want to park in a parking space that is highly convenient (for example, near the entrance). The extra time and inconvenience of searching for and moving from there.

In addition, conventionally, hotels and the like provide a parking service ("valet parking") in which a carriage porch is set up in a highly convenient location (for example, near the entrance) and the hotel staff drives between the carriage porch and the parking lot. .

On the other hand, research on self-driving cars has progressed in recent years, and it is expected that self-driving cars will become widespread in the near future. However, in the process, it is expected that both manually driven vehicles and automated vehicles will coexist, and the proportion of automated vehicles will gradually increase.

When manually-operated vehicles and automatically-operated vehicles coexist in the same parking lot, passengers of the automatically-operated vehicles desire to get on and off at a highly convenient location (for example, near the entrance). On the other hand, the unmanned self-driving car with the passengers alighting automatically searches for an empty parking slot using the autonomous driving function and parks there.

As a result, the following problems occur.
(1) Congestion is likely to occur in highly convenient locations due to getting on and off of self-driving cars. Manually driven vehicles following an automated vehicle will have to wait longer to get in and out of the automated vehicle, which is inconvenient. It also complicates control systems for self-driving cars.
(2) The parking positions of self-driving cars are concentrated in or near convenient locations. Therefore, the parking position of the manually operated vehicle becomes a relatively inconvenient place.
(3) As the proportion of self-driving cars increases, the inconvenience of manually driving cars will increase.

In order to solve the above-described problems, for example, Patent Document 1 has already been disclosed.

The "management system and program" of Patent Document 1 is a waiting space management unit that distinguishes and manages a plurality of waiting spaces into a first waiting space for automatic driving vehicles and a second waiting space for manually driving vehicles. Prepare. The waiting space management unit manages the usage status of the first waiting space and the usage status of the second waiting space, and according to at least one of the usage status of the first waiting space and the usage status of the second waiting space, at least one of the Change area.

Japanese Patent No. 6254665

According to the means of Patent Document 1 described above, the first waiting space for the automatically driven vehicle and the second waiting space for the manually driven vehicle are separately managed, so the parking position of the automatically driven vehicle is convenient. Concentration near high places (the second problem mentioned above) can be prevented.

However, when a passenger of an automatic driving vehicle gets on and off at a highly convenient location, it is not possible to prevent congestion from occurring at the highly convenient location (the first problem described above).
In addition, in the above-described means of Patent Document 1, it is necessary for the automatic driving car to search for an empty first waiting space, and for this search, the automatic driving car may wander (sluggishly) at or near a highly convenient place. Occur.

The manually operated vehicle 1B is a vehicle (for example, a passenger car) operated by a person (driver). Also, the self-driving vehicle 1A is a vehicle that can run automatically without a human driving operation. The self-driving car 1A recognizes the surrounding environment by radar, GPS, camera, etc., and runs autonomously only by designating a destination.

In FIG. 1, the manually driven vehicle 1B is indicated by a white rectangle, and the automatically driven vehicle 1A is indicated by a hatched rectangle. Moreover, when the distinction is unnecessary, the manually driven vehicle 1B and the automatically driven vehicle 1A are simply referred to as "vehicle 1". That is, the vehicle 1 is an automatically driven vehicle 1A or a manually driven vehicle 1B.

In FIG. 1, a parking lot 10 is set in a rectangular site located between the entrance/exit of the facility and the general roadway 2 .
The parking lot 10 has an entrance 11 , an exit 12 and a plurality of parking slots 13 . The parking frame 13 is set to a size that allows the vehicle 1 to run and stop or park inside it.

In this example, the parking frame 13 does not distinguish between the general vehicle (the manually driven vehicle 1B) and the automatically driven vehicle 1A, and both the manually driven vehicle 1B and the automatically driven vehicle 1A are parked in the common parking frame 13. On the way back (at the time of leaving the garage), a person gets on in the parking slot 13 where both the manually operated vehicle 1B and the automatically operated vehicle 1A are parked.

In FIG. 1, the parking management device 50 is, for example, a computer (PC) having an input device, an output device, a storage device, and an arithmetic device, and is configured to be able to communicate bidirectionally with the self-driving vehicle 1A.

The parking management device 50 also has a function of detecting an empty parking frame 13 .
For example, a vehicle detection sensor 4 that detects the presence or absence of the vehicle 1 is installed in the parking frame 13 and notifies the parking management device 50 of the presence or absence of the vehicle 1 within the parking frame. The detection of the presence or absence of the vehicle 1 in the parking frame is not limited to the vehicle detection sensor 4, and may be performed by other means such as image processing by a camera, detection by a laser radar, or the like.
In this example, it is preferable to detect the presence or absence of the vehicle 1 for all parking frames 13 .

In FIG. 1, the parking lot 10 has a common exit route 24 .
With this configuration, the vehicles 1 (automatically driven vehicle 1A and manually driven vehicle 1B) can exit the general lane 2 through the common exit route 24 and the exit 12 .

The parking management device 50 communicates with the autonomous vehicle 1A when the autonomous vehicle 1A enters the parking lot, and designates an empty parking slot 13 for the autonomous vehicle 1A.
