Automatic Parking Assistant
Principle
Automatic Parking Assistant provides support
when parallel parking and parking transverse
to the road.
In addition, the system makes it easier to
park out of parallel and perpendicular parking
spaces.
The ultrasonic sensors measure both sides of
the vehicle when driving slowly forward. Suita-
ble parking spaces are calculated based on the
objects detected, e.g., parking vehicles. The
system status is displayed.
The system calculates the best possible park-
ing line for driving in or out of parking spaces,
and takes control of the vehicle while parking.
The operating principle and operation of the
system is divided into the following steps:
▷ Parking space search.
▷ Turning on.
▷ Parking.
▷ Driving out of parking spaces.
The parking manoeuver during parking is per-
formed automatically.
When driving out of parallel parking spaces,
the vehicle maneuvers automatically until it
reaches a position where it can be driven out
of the parking space without further steering
movements.
When driving out of perpendicular parking
spaces, the vehicle is maneuvered out of the
parking space to enable continued driving in
the desired direction.
