Method and device for assisting a driver of a vehicle during a parking maneuver
First Claim
1. A method for assisting the driver of a vehicle during a parking maneuver, wherein a parking gap is sensed and measured from the vehicle and a setpoint trajectory (5) along which the vehicle is to be moved during the parking maneuver is determined in accordance with a predefined parking strategy, characterized in that a parking situation image on which the parking gap (7), an optimum setpoint position (4) as well as a first vehicle (1) and a second vehicle (2) are represented in a plan view is displayed to the driver on an image display device, wherein the optimum setpoint position (4) corresponds to a position which the vehicle is intended to adopt within the parking gap (7), the first vehicle (1) corresponds to the vehicle in its instantaneous position and the second vehicle (2) corresponds to the vehicle in a target position (2) which the vehicle is expected to adopt when it is moved along the setpoint trajectory (5).

Abstract
1. Method and device for assisting the driver of a vehicle during a parking maneuver. 2.1. Known devices for assisting the driver of a vehicle during the execution of a parking maneuver usually comprise surroundings-sensing means for sensing and measuring potential parking gaps, means for determining a parking strategy and information means for outputting instructions to the driver, which instructions guide him into the parking gap. The new method and the new device are intended to provide the driver with better assistance during the execution of the parking maneuver. 2.2. For this purpose, a parking situation image on which the parking gap, an optimum setpoint position and a first and second vehicle are represented in a plan view is displayed to the driver on an image display device. In this context, the optimum setpoint position corresponds to a position which the vehicle is intended to assume within the parking gap, the first vehicle corresponds to the vehicle in its instantaneous position and the second vehicle corresponds to the vehicle in an expected target position which can be varied by means of the steering angle.
