Parking assistance system with universal parking space detection
First Claim
1. A system for performing an automated parking maneuver of a motor vehicle into a parking space with at least automated transverse guidance along a parking trajectory, comprising:
- a parking assistance system that executes a process to;
measure the parking space, via a sensor, before performing the automated parking maneuver,on the basis of the measurement of the parking space, recognize the parking space type of the parking space from a set of recognizable, different parking space types, wherein the set of parking space types comprises;
(i) a longitudinal parking space type in which it is possible to park longitudinally,(ii) a transverse parking space type, in which it is possible to park transversely, and(iii) a universal parking space type, in which it is possible to park both longitudinally as well as transversely,in an event that the parking space is recognized as being of the universal parking space type, give a selection option to a driver to select a parking direction of whether the parking assistance system should park longitudinally or transversely into the parking space, andpark the motor vehicle longitudinally or transversely into the parking space automatically according to the selection of the driver.

Abstract
A parking assistance system executes a process to measure the parking space by a sensor prior to carrying out an automated parking maneuver and to detect the parking space type from a plurality of detectable parking space types using specific criteria on the basis of the measurement of the parking space. The plurality of parking space types includes a longitudinal parking space type, in which a vehicle can park longitudinally, a transverse parking space type, in which a vehicle can park transversely, and a universal parking space type in which the vehicle can park both longitudinally as well as transversely. In the event that the parking space has been detected as a universal parking space type, the parking assistance system provides the driver with the choice to select a parking direction, namely whether the parking assistance system is to park longitudinally or transversely into the parking space. The parking assistance system parks the vehicle into the parking space longitudinally or transversely according to the selection of the driver, wherein the parking trajectory depends on the selection of the driver.

17. A method for performing an automated parking maneuver of a motor vehicle into a parking space with at least automated transverse guidance along a parking trajectory, the method comprising the acts of:
-
measuring the parking space, via a sensor, before performing the automated parking maneuver, on the basis of the measurement of the parking space, recognizing the parking space type of the parking space from a set of recognizable parking space types, wherein the set of parking space types comprises; (i) a longitudinal parking space type, in which it is possible to park longitudinally (ii) a transverse parking space type, in which it is possible to park transversely, and (iii) a universal parking space type, in which it is possible to park both longitudinally as well as transversely, and for a case in which the parking space is recognized as being of the universal parking space type, providing a selection option for the driver to select a parking direction of whether the parking assistance system should park longitudinally or transversely into the parking space, and automatically parking the vehicle longitudinally or transversely into the parking space according to the selection of the driver.
