Parking assistance system and parking assistance method
First Claim
1. A parking assistance system of a motor vehicle for outputting parking instructions, comprising:
- a sensor device that performs a parking space measurement on the basis of parking space limits and generates parking space information as a function of the parking space measurement;
a program-controlled device which calculates a driving trajectory to be traveled by the vehicle for the parking maneuver on the basis of the parking space information generated and calculates a time to collision and/or a distance to collision within which the vehicle will presumably collide with one of the parking space limits, basing this calculation on the parking space information generated as well as on the the calculated driving trajectory; and
a warning signal transducer that generates a warning signal if the calculated time to collision is less than a first limit value and/or the calculated distance to collision is less than a second limit value.

Abstract
A parking assistance system for outputting parking instructions to the driver of a vehicle has a sensor device which is designed for performing a parking space measurement on the basis of parking space limits and generating parking space information on the basis of the parking space measurement; a program-controlled device which calculates the driving trajectory to be traveled on the basis of the parking space information generated and calculates a time to collision and/or a distance to collision, within which the vehicle will presumably collide with one of the parking space limits, from the parking space information generated and the calculated driving trajectory; and a warning signal transducer which generates a warning signal if the calculated period of time is less than a first limit value and/or the calculated distance to collision is less than a second limit value.

11. A parking assistance method for outputting parking instructions for a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
(a) measuring a parking space on the basis of parking space limits and generating parking space information as a function of the parking space measurement;
(b) calculating a driving trajectory to be traveled by the vehicle for the parking maneuver on the basis of the parking space information generated;
(c) calculating a time to collision or a distance to collision from the parking space information and the calculated driving trajectory; and
(d) outputting a warning signal if the calculated period of time is less than a first limit value and/or the calculated distance to collision is less than a second limit value.
