Recently, parking problems for an autonomous vehicle have attracted a great deal of attention and have been examined in many papers in the literature. In this paper we design a fuzzy logic based parking system at the slant parking space which is a important part for designing a autonomous parking system. We first design an optimal parking path for the slant space and present the simulation results of the fuzzy logic based parking system.

Recently, it is widely progressed that the research of the performance improvement of an intelligent vehicle. Among them, its parking problem has attracted a great deal of attention and have been examined in many papers in the literature. In this paper we design a fuzzy logic based parking system at the slant parking space which is a important part for designing an autonomous parking system. We first design a parking path for the slant space and propose a fuzzy logic based parking algorithm. We present its simulation results and show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Due to the rapid economic growth within the nation, the quality of life of individuals have improved dramatically. The scope of living activities of individuals have also extended, resulting in a rapidly increasing demand for automobiles. The number of vehicles registered in Korea is rapidly increasing and will reach 188.71 million as of December 2012. Compared to the registered residents of 50.94 million provided by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, the registered population reflects about 4 people per every automobile. Due to the high demands for vehicles, the demands for parking lots in collective housing and businesses are also increasing. In reality, the current state of expansion of parking lots are underground, due to the limited available space on ground level. Specifically, the slope of a parking lot cannot exceed 17% linear slope and 14% curved slope according to the 'parking lot laws', however studies show that the driver feels at risk for safety when stopped on the parking ramp while driving in the parking lot. This study seeks to examine the suitability of parking lot ramps, concerning the safety aspects of the driver. First, the ramp type was categorized as linear or curved, then test drives were performed based on variations of slopes, slant distances, directions and points. A survey was administered to the driver after the completion of the test drive, in order to element design for an ideal ramp. In the case of curved ramp, the results of the estimate suggests a counterclockwise, slope at a maximum of 12% incline. The maximum slope for a linear ramp was analyzed to be between 13~14%, suggesting that slope greater than 15% need to be eliminated. In conclusion, it is anticipated that the element design parking ramp reported in this study will help to serve as a reference for future parking lot related guidelines, and provide cost effective traffic safety mechanisms in future parking lot businesses to follow.
