System and method for recognizing a parking place that is potentially becoming free

摘要

A mobile system is provided for a vehicle for recognizing a parking place that is potentially becoming free, along with a method for recognizing a parking place that is potentially becoming free. The system includes at least one sensor for detecting a signal that is typical for a parking place that is potentially becoming free, an evaluation unit for assessing whether a signal received by the sensor signifies a parking place that is potentially becoming free, and an optical and/or acoustic indicator unit for indicating a parking place that is potentially becoming free. With the system and method, parking places that are becoming free can be detected automatically when travelling through a specific road section.

主权项

1. A mobile system for a vehicle for recognizing a parking place that is potentially becoming free, the mobile system comprising:
at least one sensor for detecting one or more signals; an evaluation unit for assessing the one or more signals detected by the sensor, wherein the evaluation unit is configured to:
identify and filter out any signal from the one or more detected signals that signifies one or more parking places is potentially becoming free,determine at least one probability associated with the one or more parking places potentially becoming free based on the filtered signals,verify the at least one probability using distinct verification analysis, wherein the at least one probability is confirmed or modified based on the verification, andassign the verified at least one probability to one or more of: (i) a parking place of the one or more parking places and (ii) an area encompassing the parking place of the one or more parking places; and one or more of an optical indicator unit and an acoustic indicator unit for indicating that the parking place is free or potentially becoming free based on the assigned at least one probability.
