Hyundai Mobis Develops World's First Next-Generation Parking Control System

Specialized in Alleys and Narrow Roads... Integration of Remote, Autonomous, and Cooperative Driving Functions

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Hyundai Mobis announced on the 14th that it has developed the world's first urban driver assistance system (ADAS) called the 'Next-Generation Parking Control System' (MPS), which integrates narrow-road driving, rear autonomous driving, and remote automatic parking functions.

Hyundai Mobis explained that this is an urban autonomous driving technology specialized for Korea, Europe, and other regions, allowing drivers to escape difficult situations caused by narrow roads with the push of a single button through autonomous driving.

Hyundai Mobis developed the technology based on independently developed software logic and mass-produced ultrasonic sensors. While radar or LiDAR sensors are useful for recognizing objects at high speeds or at long distances, ultrasonic sensors are better suited for recognizing nearby objects in narrow alleys or underground parking lots, which inspired this approach.

‘Narrow-road driving’ is possible with just 40 cm of clearance on either side based on the vehicle's width. When the side mirrors are folded, autonomous driving can be performed with virtually just the width of a hand.

The system also enables 'rear autonomous driving,' where the vehicle’s driving path is stored in real time, and by pressing a button, the car autonomously generates a reverse path to back out of a dead-end alley. The steering wheel and vehicle speed are automatically controlled.

Additionally, Hyundai Mobis integrated various safety and convenience technologies into this system, such as ▲remote automatic parking system that finds a space when the driver gets out and presses a remote control ▲3D surround view monitor that provides a three-dimensional 360-degree view around the vehicle ▲rear collision prevention technology, enhancing the competitiveness of driving assistance solutions tailored for urban parking environments.

Furthermore, Hyundai Mobis is continuously introducing new urban autonomous driving technologies to lead the future car market represented by purpose-built mobility (PBV).

In March, it unveiled the urban ultra-compact electric mobility 'M.Vision POP,' and last month, it succeeded in developing a foldable steering system and a 90-degree rotatable e-Corner module for shared autonomous vehicles.
