Smart Automatic Parking Module for Electric Vehicles
Overview
The remote automatic parking system is developed to improve parking efficiency for drive-by-wire vehicles from entrance to parking lots within confined areas. The steering, driving with gear shifting and braking system are all automatically controlled by smart multi-sensor fusion algorithms.
It helps the vehicle navigate itself from entrance into a parking space without driver's intervention, enhancing the efficency of parking process and maximising space utilisation of parking facility.
Commercialisation opportunities
Exclusive licensing
Problem addressed
The existing parking assist system (PAS) faces limitations, such as drivers have to be involved in the process as PAS cannot control the gear, throttle and brake; PAS has trouble in parking if there are many people around the parking area.
Innovation
- Upgrade drive-by-wire function to realise automatic parking without driver's intervention.
- Smart multi-sensor fusion algorithms for precise mapping, robust real-time vehicle localisation and obstacle detection.
Key impact
- Automatic last-mile service without driver involved.
- Static and dynamic surrounding obstacles detection in real time to avoid collision.
- Improve parking efficiency, accuracy and safety.
Application
- Drive-by-wire vehicles
- Auto shuttles in the community
- Auto cargo vehicles at the airport and container terminal
