Abstract
A parking guidance system for large vehicles has a horizontal bar, a data collection assembly and a console unit. The horizontal bar is hollow and is mounted on the rear bumper, and houses the data collection assembly. The data collection assembly uses multiple ultrasonic transmitter and detector modules and an option vide camera module. A console unit mounted in a driver compartment receives data from the data collection assembly and processes the data to proved warnings to a user.
