In a remote parking device, a remote control receiver receives remote operation signals including remote parking commands of a subject vehicle from a plurality of remote controllers. A sensor information receiver receives sensor information including surrounding information obtained in a surrounding information sensor in the subject vehicle and vehicle information obtained in a vehicle information sensor in the subject vehicle. When the plurality of remote operation signals including the remote parking commands are received at the same time, a priority determination part determines priority of each of the plurality of remote parking commands included in the plurality of remote operation signals based on information obtained from the plurality of remote operation signals. A remote parking controller controls a remote parking of the subject vehicle based on the remote parking command having highest priority and the sensor information.

An apparatus and method for providing a top view image of a parking space are provided. The apparatus includes a steering angle sensor that measures a steering angle of a vehicle, a top view image generator that generates a top view image of a parking space depending on travel of the vehicle, a display that displays the top view image generated by the top view image generator, and a controller that captures the top view image displayed by the display and generates a panorama top view image by connecting the current top view image generated by the top view image generator and the captured previous top view image, based on the steering angle measured by the steering angle sensor.

A remote parking system includes: a terminal configured to transmit a ranging signal; plural reception units configured to detect an arrival direction of the ranging signal; a control device configured to acquire a distance from the terminal to a vehicle based on the arrival direction of the ranging signal detected by at least two of the reception units and to move the vehicle toward a parking position in a case where the control device determines that the acquired distance from the terminal to the vehicle is equal to or less than a prescribed threshold; and a transmission antenna fixed to the vehicle and configured to transmit the ranging signal. The control device is configured to determine a failure of at least one of the reception units based on the ranging signal transmitted from the transmission antenna and received by the at least one of the reception units.

A method for controlling a parked vehicle includes receiving vehicle identification information from a first terminal, specifying a target vehicle to be controlled based on the vehicle identification information, waking up the target vehicle to be controlled and transitioning the target vehicle to be controlled to a movable state, and transmitting a moving direction to the target vehicle to be controlled.

A remote parking system includes: a terminal configured to transmit a ranging signal; plural reception units provided with a reception surface to receive the ranging signal and configured to detect an arrival direction of the ranging signal with respect to the reception surface; and a control device configured to acquire a distance from the terminal to a vehicle based on the arrival direction of the ranging signal and a reference posture of each of the reception units and to move the vehicle toward a parking position based on an operation input to the terminal in a case where the control device determines that the acquired distance from the terminal to the vehicle is equal to or less than a prescribed threshold. The control device is configured to cause the terminal to display an intensity of the ranging signal received by at least one of the reception units.

A vehicle control system includes: a control device mounted on a vehicle and configured to execute remote automatic moving processing; an operation terminal configured to be carried by a user and to transmit a control signal to the control device based on an input by the user; and a position determination unit mounted on the vehicle and/or the operation terminal and configured to measure a distance between the operation terminal and the vehicle. When the control device determines that the distance exceeds a first threshold based on a signal from the position determination unit, the control device stops the vehicle and transmits an output signal to the operation terminal, the output signal being a signal to cause the operation terminal to output a fact that the distance exceeds the first threshold.

Cost of a precision farming guidance system is driven in part by the number of discrete system elements installed in a tractor including the steering actuator, guidance computer, user terminals, and the associated cable harnesses. An integrated guidance system arranges and integrates these separate elements into a base chassis and removable computer module to reduce cost and complexity while retaining flexibility to adapt to different vehicle configurations and to incorporate improved guidance computer technology into a common design platform.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed to facilitate remote-controlled maneuvers. An example vehicle comprises: wheels, a transceiver, and a processor and memory. The processor is in communication with a remote device via the transceiver and is configured to: determine whether first and second buttons of the remote device are pressed based on signals from the remote device, if the first and second buttons are released, stop rotation of the wheels, and communicate a message regarding the released first and second buttons to the remote device.

A vehicle control apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an operation screen including a contact sensor and remotely issues an instruction to move a vehicle, wherein output of the instruction to move the vehicle is started based on a reciprocating operation on the operation screen in a case in which the reciprocating operation has satisfied a predetermined condition, and the predetermined condition includes a condition related to at least one of a cumulative distance and a count of a stroke of the reciprocating operation.

The present subject matter provides leveling systems and processes for leveling vehicles, such as recreational vehicles. The present subject matter also relates to computer program products for leveling vehicles, such as recreational vehicles, using smart devices. The leveling system can include a sensor device secured to a vehicle to sense at least one of an inclination or an orientation of the vehicle in both a pitch direction and a roll direction. The leveling system can include a smart device in communication with the sensor device to allow information received from the sensor device to be processed to provide measurements to a user and to determine the amount of adjustments needed in height to at least one of the pitch direction or the roll direction to level the vehicle.
