Orchestrating autonomous movements of parked vehicles to optimize parking efficiency

摘要

Technologies for optimized vehicle parking include a parking management computing device and a number of advanced vehicles, each having an in-vehicle computing system. The parking management computing device establishes a secure control channel with each of the in-vehicle computing systems. Each of the in-vehicle computing systems may send a parking request to park or access the vehicle to the parking management computing device. The parking management computing device queries a number of the advanced vehicles that are already parked for positional or sensor data and determines an optimized parking configuration based on the parking request. The parking management computing device transmits movement requests to the in-vehicle computing systems to implement the optimized parking configuration. Each in-vehicle computing system may perform the movement request by using an autonomous driving capability, by using a remote control capability, or by notifying an operator. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. A parking management computing device to manage vehicle parking, the parking management computing device comprising:
a secure communications module to establish a secure control connection with a vehicle located in a parking zone; a parking configuration module to (i) receive a parking request from the vehicle via the secure control connection, (ii) query a plurality of parked vehicles positioned in the parking zone for positional data of the parked vehicles, and (iii) determine a parking configuration including the plurality of parked vehicles and the vehicle; and a vehicle movement module to transmit a movement request to a parked vehicle of the parked vehicles, wherein the movement request includes at least one instruction to move the parked vehicle to implement the parking configuration.
