Park-assist based on vehicle door open positions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a door;
a door sensor;
a range-detection sensor;
a controller configured to;
determine, via the door sensor, a preferred angle of an occupant for opening the door;
detect, via the range-detection sensor, a spot that is unoccupied; and
predict a maximum angle for opening the door within the spot;
determine that the maximum angle is between the preferred angle and a permissible angle;
provide, based on the determination that the maximum angle is between the preferred angle and the permissible angle, an option for the occupant to select whether to park into the spot; and
receive, in response to the option for the occupant to select whether to park in the spot, an indication to park in the spot; and
an autonomy unit to perform park-assist into the spot based on the received indication to park in the spot.

Abstract
Method and apparatus are disclosed for park-assist based on vehicle door open positions. An example vehicle includes a door, a door sensor, a range-detection sensor, and a controller. The controller is to determine, via the door sensor, a preferred angle of an occupant for opening the door and detect, via the range-detection sensor, a spot that is unoccupied. The controller also is to predict a maximum angle for opening the door within the spot. The example vehicle also includes an autonomy unit to perform park-assist into the spot responsive to the maximum angle equaling or exceeding the preferred angle.

15. A method comprising:
-
determining, via a door sensor, a preferred angle of an occupant for opening a door of a vehicle; detecting, via a range-detection sensor, a parking spot that is unoccupied; predicting, via a processor, a maximum angle for opening the door within the parking spot; determining that the maximum angle is between the preferred angle and a permissible angle; providing, based on the determination that the maximum angle is between the preferred angle and the permissible angle, an option for the occupant to select whether to park into the spot; receiving, in response to the option for the occupant to select whether to park in the spot, an indication to park in the spot; and performing, via an autonomy unit, park-assist into the parking spot based on the received indication to park in the spot. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
