AUTO-PARKING DEVICE
First Claim
1. An auto-parking device installed on a vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle status sensing unit for detecting a state of a vehicle,an image acquisition unit for capturing the vehicle outside image,a range sensing unit for measuring the parking space,a processing unit for receiving states of the vehicle from the vehicle status sensing unit, receiving the surrounding information of the vehicle from the image acquisition unit and the range sensing unit, calculating a parking path and then controlling the vehicle steering, throttle and brake to automatically park the car into the space according to the planned parking path, andwherein in auto-parking, the processing unit calculates the parking path based on parallel parking or back-in parking and then controls the vehicle to move along the planned parking path;
during the parking process, if any obstacles invading the planned path are detected, the auto-parking operation will be suspended and hand over the control priority to the user;
upon elimination of the obstacle, the user can reactivate the device to complete the auto-parking operation.
