To obtain a vehicle control device capable of creating a route that facilitates tracing by a vehicle in autonomous driving and improving positional accuracy of the vehicle at the time of tracing. A vehicle control device (520) of the present invention includes an oversteer angle determination unit (508) that determines whether or not a steering angle of a vehicle (10) is an oversteer angle, a stationary steering determination unit (509) that determines whether or not stationary steering operation is performed on a vehicle, a route storage mode detection unit (505) that determines whether or not a route storage mode is set, a specific operation detection unit (507) that determines whether a steering angle is the oversteer angle or the stationary steering operation is performed in the route storage mode, and an output unit that outputs a control command of steering angle restriction control that restricts steering operation of a driver in the route storage mode in a case where the specific operation detection unit determines that a steering angle is the oversteer angle or the stationary steering operation is performed.

The present disclosure provides a system, a method and an apparatus for position-based parking of a vehicle, capable of solving the problem in the related art that an unmanned vehicle cannot be parked at a specified position accurately in an environment with a weak GPS signal. The method includes, during position-based parking of a vehicle at a predetermined position: receiving, by a communication device of the vehicle, posture data from a roadside device located within a predetermined range from the predetermined position; deciding, by a vehicle-mounted processing device of the vehicle, whether received posture data satisfies a predetermined positioning rule; determining posture adjustment data for the vehicle when the received posture data does not satisfy the predetermined positioning rule; and controlling the vehicle to perform a posture adjustment operation based on the posture adjustment data.

A method can be used for adaptive parking of a vehicle. A parking area is determined around a programmed destination of the vehicle. The parking area has more than one available parking spot for the vehicle. Parking data is acquired via a wireless communication network. The parking data for each parked vehicle includes a parking position and an individual sensing coverage of an environment sensor system of the respective parked vehicle scanning the traffic environment within the parking area. Available parking spots are ranked based on a calculated overall sensing coverage and a recommended parking spot is determined among the available parking spots based on overall sensing coverage of the traffic environment in the parking area.

A method for controlling a user-initiated vehicle-operation-command, the user of the vehicle being located external to the vehicle during an autonomous driving or parking operation of the vehicle, is provided wherein the vehicle-operation-command is a cancellation or stop command of the autonomous driving or parking operation. A system equipped to perform the method and to a vehicle including the system is also provided. The method and apparatus enhance the security-level of autonomous driving and parking operations.

Systems and methods are provided herein for operating an electric vehicle in a vehicle yaw mode. The electric vehicle includes a normal driving mode where the electric vehicle is steered by turning the steerable wheels (e.g., left or right) and vehicle yaw mode where the vehicle controls the torque applied to each wheel. In response to receiving input to initiate vehicle yaw mode and yaw direction, the system determines the inner wheels and the outer wheels and provides forward torque to the outer wheels of the vehicle and backward torque to the inner wheels of the vehicle to rotate the vehicle.

Systems and methods to control a radar system to perform cross-traffic management in a vehicle with a trailer involve determining a location of the trailer behind the vehicle, and adjusting an initial field of view of the radar system to a modified field of view that excludes the location of the trailer. One or more other vehicles are detected with the radar system having the modified field of view. A cross-traffic alert is implemented based on the detecting the one or more other vehicles.

A method for automated parking, a device, and a storage medium, which relate to a field of automated parking. The method for automated parking includes: determining, based on a historical location of a vehicle over a first time period, a frequented region associated with one or more candidate parking routes for the vehicle; acquiring the one or more candidate parking routes for the vehicle based on one or more historical parking routes of the vehicle in the frequented region, where the one or more historical parking routes include a driving-in route and/or a driving-out route; and providing the vehicle with the acquired one or more candidate parking routes in response to determining that the vehicle is in the frequented region, for the vehicle to drive in or drive out.

An automated valet parking (AVP) management system manages an AVP service delivered in a predetermined area. A pick-up or drop-off point is away from a parking facility in which a vehicle is parked. When it is not possible to deliver the AVP service to a user in accordance with a user request, notification information is delivered to the user. The notification information includes at least one of: a congestion situation on a route from a current position of the vehicle to a specified pick-up or drop-off point; a congestion situation at the specified pick-up or drop-off point; a waiting time for the user to get on or off the vehicle at the specified pick-up or drop-off point; a recommended time of day of use at the specified pick-up or drop-off point; and a substitute pick-up or drop-off point being a substitute for the specified pick-up or drop-off point.

An automated valet parking system enables a plurality of charging parking frames in a parking place to be utilized and reduces inconvenience to an EV user using an automated valet parking service. The management device acquires a vehicle usage schedule and a remaining charge amount of each EV and determines a parking frame usage schedule of a charging parking frame. Specifically, with respect to an EV scheduled to be used on the next day, the management device assigns a charging parking frame closer to the departure/arrival place to an EV having earlier use start time on the next day. With respect to an EV not scheduled to be used on the next day and an EV whose usage schedule is unknown, the management device assigns a charging parking frame farther from the departure/arrival place to an EV with smaller remaining charge amount.

A mobile terminal to be carried by a user of a vehicle acquires a captured image of the vehicle, acquires distance information on a distance to the vehicle based on the captured image, determines whether the distance to the vehicle is within a predetermined allowable distance based on the distance information, and transmits an operation signal corresponding to an operation content input by a user to the vehicle when the distance to the vehicle is determined to be within the allowable distance.
