1. AUTOMATED VALET PARKING
13th ITS European Congress
Helmond
Week 23, 2019

2. The AUTOPILOT Challenge
Demonstrate added value of Internet of Things for Automated Driving
Internet stuff
???
Internet of Things:
Information beyond reach of sensors
Data in context (e.g. trustworthiness)
Anything connected as source
Automated Driving:
Travel planning
Decision making
Steer and speed control

6. Automated Valet Parking
AVP allows cars to parking automatically, and automatically collect cars from parking lots
The first launching unmanned automated driving function for passenger cars, due to a high business potential for comfort and operational purposes (i.e. car rental, Mobility as a Service)
Automated Valet Parking is at low speed, but it provides the baseline for sensing solutions and safety concepts that can be used for higher speed AD in urban environments

7. Automated Valet Parking
This offers:
Comfort service to car drivers (no time lost finding a parking spot)
More efficient use of space on parking lots (cars can be parked closer)
Less damage to cars during parking
Optimization of logistics and reducing congestion in and towards parking area
More efficient use of EV charging spots …
