Bosch and Daimler make it easy to find a parking space
Bosch United Daimler launches community parking pilot project
Positioning by car and providing on-street available parking space information
In daily life, finding a parking space often makes people feel annoyed, depressed, and sometimes even longer than the actual driving time. However, the fact is that some vehicles often drive through vacant parking spaces on the side of the road, but they don't actually need to stop there. So if these vehicles can inform other drivers, the size and specific location of the vacant parking spaces here will be much better?
And this is what Mercedes-Benz and Bosch are currently working on in joint research. The two companies are jointly testing a new community parking smart service that will make the parking space search process easier and faster. The project has been piloted in Stuttgart and includes a number of different Mercedes test vehicles. On-board Sensors allow these vehicles to generate data on vacant parking spaces on the roadside, while providing and accepting these data through the equipped communication interface.
“Almost every Mercedes-Benz is connected via an intelligent network. As long as the right sensors are loaded, they can generate data during the 'driving process.' Then we use this data for the next step, which is to quickly identify the available Parking space," said Sajjad Khan, vice president of digital transportation and travel business at Mercedes-Benz.
“This kind of community parking mode is actually to allocate the work of finding parking spaces, which can help us greatly shorten the time to find parking spaces and guide the drivers to the available parking spaces.†Bosch Internet Parking Project Leader Dr. Rolf Nicodemus said.
Develop new uses with existing sensors
The body-loaded ultrasonic sensor can continuously scan along the road at a speed of 55 kilometers per hour. When they are located in the available parking spaces, the collected data is transmitted by Daimler vehicles back to the Bosch IoT cloud platform through a secure data link for analysis. Data mining techniques are then used to confirm that the identified area is indeed an available parking space. For example, if the vehicle keeps providing information, it indicates that there is a vacancy on a busy road, but this vacancy is also likely to be just an empty lane, but it cannot be used for parking.
In the first phase of the pilot project, the system was able to calculate the possibility of finding a vacant parking space in an open block. In the next phase, once such a community parking model is more widely used, it can even report the availability and available area of ​​roadside parking spaces in real time. In addition, by combining more information on available parking spaces, additional features can be implemented, such as when the identified parking space is in a public parking lot, then a number will appear on the car screen or on the “Mercedes me†APP. Parking space map. So, all the driver needs to do is to choose this destination and then follow the navigation to the parking space.
Zero pressure on parking to help drivers reduce their worries
Finding the right parking space quickly will not only help the driver save time and gasoline, but also ease their nervousness and benefit the surrounding environment. Combined with a parking aid system like the "Remote Park Pilot" (now available for the new Mercedes E-Class), the community parking mode can significantly reduce driver parking headaches.
Heavy-duty connector adopts modular design, including pneumatic module, high current module, Profibus Dp Bus Module and USB interface module. When using module equipment, it can be barrier-free and fast connection. Therefore, compared with ordinary connector, it is more practical and convenient to maintain.
