Abstract: A parking management system includes a roadside unit having a vehicle occupancy sensor with a zone of detection that corresponds to a parking space. The roadside unit includes an imaging camera with an image processor to image a vehicle in the parking space the imaging camera being triggered based on a change in occupancy condition determined by the vehicle occupancy sensor, a solar panel charging a battery configured to provide at least a portion of energy needed for the roadside unit, and a wireless transceiver configured to communicate data from the roadside unit to a parking management system central computer. The imaging camera changes quickly from a low power mode to an active mode so as to image a vehicle entering or exiting the parking space.

Abstract: A parking assistance system is remote-controlled for automated parking and exiting from a parking space. The parking assistance system has a receiver for receiving a movement direction of the vehicle selected by the user. A control device which is coupled to the receiver is configured to decide independently, without the user making any specification about the presence of a parking situation or parking-space-exiting situation, whether there is a parking situation or parking-space-exiting situation. If the control device decides that the parking situation is present, the vehicle is parked in the parking space in accordance with the received selected movement direction by forward driving or driving in reverse. Otherwise, if the control device decides that the parking-space-exiting situation is present, the vehicle is made to exit the parking space in accordance with the received selected movement direction by forward driving or driving in reverse.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores programmed instructions. The instructions, when executed by a computer of an information display device that is able to communicate via a network with a navigation device configured to guide a vehicle to a parking location and includes a display, cause the computer to perform: acquiring, as parking location information, a current location of the vehicle transmitted from the navigation device that has detected parking of the vehicle; and causing the display to display a parking location in accordance with the acquired parking location information.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for providing a motor vehicle for a service, said motor vehicle having a vehicle guidance system designed for fully automated vehicle guidance and being parked in a parking space in a parking environment, in particular which is blocked for people. The method includes



providing a service space outside the parking environment, which has a parking-environment-side access gate and a staff access that can be accessed from outside the parking environment. The method includes completely automatically driving the motor vehicle through the vehicle guidance system from the parking space via the parking environment into the service space without any people in it, and parking the motor vehicle in the service space, and
after parking the motor vehicle in the service space, closing the access gate and enabling an entry of a service person through the staff access depending on an authentication process carried out by the service person at an authentication device located outside the service space.

Abstract: A parking detection method includes: accessing data corresponding to an image from a camera on a vehicle; computing a confidence score for a possible vacant parking location from the data corresponding to the image from the camera on the vehicle; and when the confidence score is greater than a threshold confidence, identifying the possible vacant parking location as an actual vacant parking location from the data corresponding to the image from the camera on the vehicle.

Abstract: A system for mapping traffic lights and for determining traffic light relevancy for use in autonomous vehicle navigation. The system may include at least one processor programmed to: receive at least one location identifier associated with a traffic light; receive a state identifier associated with the traffic light; receive navigational information indicative of one or more aspects of motion of the first vehicle along the road segment, and determine, based on the navigational information, a lane of travel traversed by the first vehicle along the road segment. The processor may also determine whether the traffic light is relevant to the lane of travel traversed by the first vehicle; update an autonomous vehicle road navigation model relative to the road segment; and distribute the updated autonomous vehicle road navigation model to a plurality of autonomous vehicles.

Abstract: A parking system including a plurality of trays, a plurality of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) configured to transport the plurality of trays, a plurality of bays, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a bay configuration ratio based on collected parking data, each bay being configured into one of an insert-ready state and a retrieve-ready state in accordance with the bay configuration ratio. When a bay is in the insert-ready state, a tray is placed within the bay and an outward-facing door of the bay is in an open position. When a bay is in the retrieve-ready state, the outward-facing door of the bay is in a closed position, an inward-facing door of the bay is in an open position, and no tray is positioned within the bay.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of determining a layout for a parking area. In an aspect, a method includes determining environmental information about a surrounding environment of a vehicle moving in a parking area from sensing data provided by a sensing system of the vehicle; extracting parameters associated with parking slots identified from the environmental information; determining layout models for the parking area based at least on the extracted parameters, each layout model including an underlaying parking slot template; assigning to each of the determined layout models a confidence score; and selecting the layout model of the parking area having the highest confidence score as a current layout model used to determine the layout, the selected layout model is updated over time based on the confidence scores assigned to the layout models generated from sensing data collected while the vehicle is moving.
