First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for assisting a driver of a vehicle when parking in a parking space), the method comprising:
- measuring a possible parking space;
calculating a parking trajectory on the basis of a current parking space geometry which is determined from the measurement of the parking space, and on the basis of a vehicle position relative to the parking space; and
subsequently carrying out a parking process during which the vehicle is steered along the parking trajectory into the parking space,wherein the current parking space geometry continues to be determined during the parking process and is compared with a previous parking space geometry determined before the start of the parking process, andwherein, when the previous and current parking space geometries differ from one another, a deviation which is present is evaluated and the parking trajectory is, if appropriate, corrected and/or re-calculated.

Abstract
A method for assisting a driver of a vehicle (02, 12) when parking in a parking space (03, 13) is described, in which
- a possible parking space (03, 13) is measured,
- a parking trajectory (04, 14) is calculated on the basis of the parking space geometry which is determined from the measurement of the parking space (03, 13), and on the basis of a vehicle position relative to the parking space (03, 13), and
- a parking process is subsequently carried out during which the vehicle is steered along the parking trajectory (01, 11) into the parking space (03, 13),
and in which method the parking space geometry continues to be determined during the parking process and is compared with the parking space geometry determined before the start of the parking process, wherein, if the two parking space geometries differ from one another, a deviation which is present is evaluated and the parking trajectory (01, 11; 05, 15) is, if appropriate, corrected and/or re-calculated. Furthermore, a driver assistance device for carrying out the method and a computer program product which causes a microprocessor with associated storage means to carry out the method are described.
