Development of a user interface for parking lot exploration

This paper presents a user interface developed for a parking aid system. The task of the autonomous parking system is to provide an end-to-end solution for the parking space search problem. However, the system requires user inputs, from which an autonomous vehicle can be navigated through an exploration path, where the vehicle, with its sensors, is able to detect free parking spaces. These user inputs are used to extract the map, including the actual location of the user, the desired destination, and the streets within a maximal desired range measured from the destination, where possible parking spaces are located.
