US Patent 11640588 Automated valet parking system and service providing method

An automated valet parking system provides an automated valet parking service in a parking lot. A vehicle supporting the automated valet parking service executes braking control so as to automatically decelerate and stop before a target stop position in the parking lot. Braking result information indicates a braking distance until the vehicle is stopped by the braking control or an error distance between the target stop position and an actual stop position. The automated valet parking system determines whether or not the braking distance or the error distance deviates from an acceptable range. When the braking distance or the error distance deviates from the acceptable range, the automated valet parking system decides that an abnormality occurs in a braking device or a tire of the vehicle and transmits notification information notifying the abnormality occurrence to a terminal device operated by a user of the vehicle.
