This paper proposes a multi-optimization approach to the autonomous parking of car-like vehicles. It uses a polynomial curve primitive — the η-spline — to build up intrinsically feasible path maneuvers over which to minimize with a weighted sum method the total length of parking paths and the moduli of the maximum path curvature and curvature derivative. The approach takes into account the mand...

Domain parking is the practice of assigning a nonsense address to a domain when it is not in use in order to keep it ready for “live” use. This practice is peculiar because it indicates someone has administrative control over the domain name, does not have hardware ready to respond to requests, but wants the domain to appear active. A more appropriate response would seem to us to be that the do...

In this paper the role of Plug-In Electric Vehicles’ (PIEVs) parking lot in operating Smart Multi-Energy System (SMES) has been investigated. SMES in this paper has been modeled as a multi-input multi-output model which consists of some storage and energy converters. In the proposed framework, the PIEV’s parking lot behaves like an energy storage with selling energy price less than upstream net...

Finding a vacant parking lot in urban areas is mostly time-consuming and not satisfying for potential visitors or customers. Efficient car-park routing systems could support drivers to find an unoccupied parking lot. Current systems detecting vacant parking lots are either very expensive due to the hardware requirement or do not provide a detailed occupancy map. In this paper, we propose a vide...

P arking is characterized by movement and storage in space. The investigation of parking systems therefore involves the study of spatial systems. Computer graphics provides an extremely useful medium for developing, amending, and studying parking systems. The past five years have seen considerable developments in microcomputers and computer graphics. These developments are having considerable i...

RFID technology is used by various applications to implement smart processing of data. In the parking system, RFID together with wireless sensors are used for identifying cars entering a parking area and monitoring of parking slots. However, there is no means to identify the car parked in a specific slot. This paper proposes a location technique in WSN-based parking management system using radi...

The stereotype of women's limited parking skills is deeply anchored in modern culture. Although laboratory tests prove men's average superiority in visuospatial tasks and parking requires complex, spatial skills, underlying mechanisms remain unexplored. Here, we investigated performance of beginners (nine women, eight men) and more experienced drivers (21 women, 27 men) at different parking man...

Finding a vacant parking space in a congested area, such as shopping mall, airport, etc., is always time-consuming and frustrating for drivers. Real-time parking information can avoid vehicles being cruising on the roads. However, when the drivers are acquiring parking information, their privacy is inevitable to be disclosed. In this paper, to minimize drivers’ hassle and preserve drivers’ priv...

Domain parking is the practice of assigning a nonsense location to a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) when it is not in use in order to keep it ready for “live” use. This practice is peculiar because it indicates someone has administrative control over the domain name, does not have hardware ready to respond to requests, but wants the domain to appear active. A more appropriate response would...

Ho Gi Jung Hanyang University Department of Automotive Engineering 222 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu Seoul 133-791, Republic of Korea E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. A full-automatic method for recognizing parking slot markings is proposed. The proposed method recognizes various types of parking slot markings by modeling them as a hierarchical tree structure. This method mainly consists o...
