Abstract

A method in a parking system for supporting parking using a longitudinal guidance and a transverse guidance, and to such a parking system. The method includes: calculating a parking trajectory having at least one stopping point; detecting, independently of the driver'"'"'s actions, that the calculated stopping point has been reached; and, in reaction to the detection, providing a signal for a steering change for a steering controller. On a time axis there consequently takes place an initiation of a steering change in time period before a time at which the driver changes gear and independently of it.

Claims

1-9. -9. (canceled)

10. A method in a parking system for supporting parking using a longitudinal guidance and a transverse guidance, comprising:

calculating a parking trajectory having at least one stopping point;

detecting that the calculated stopping point has been reached, independently of driver actions; and

providing a signal for a steering change for a steering controller in response to the detection.

11. The method as recited in claim 10, wherein the parking trajectory includes an automatically guided move at least one of directly before and directly after the stopping point.

12. The method as recited in claim 10, wherein the parking trajectory includes a plurality of stopping points and after each detection of one of the plurality of stopping points, a corresponding signal is provided for the steering change.

13. The method as recited in claim 10, wherein the detecting takes place at least one of:

i) independently of a driver-initiated gear change, and ii) independently of an operation by the driver that relates to the parking system.

14. The method as recited in claim 10, wherein the signal for a steering change is provided before a driver-initiated gear change.

15. The method as recited in claim 10, wherein the signal for the steering change relates to a steering change at a standstill.

16. A computer readable storage medium storing a program for a parking system for supporting parking using a longitudinal guidance and a transverse guidance, the program, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform the steps of:

calculating a parking trajectory having at least one stopping point;

detecting that the calculated stopping point has been reached, independently of driver actions; and

providing a signal for a steering change for a steering controller in response to the detection.

17. A machine-readable data carrier on which instructions for carrying out a method for a parking system for supporting parking using a longitudinal guidance and a transverse guidance, the instructions, when executed by a computer device, causing the computer device to perform the steps of:

calculating a parking trajectory having at least one stopping point;

detecting that the calculated stopping point has been reached, independently of driver actions; and

providing a signal for a steering change for a steering controller in response to the detection.

18. A system for supporting parking using a longitudinal guidance and a transverse guidance, comprising:

a component configured to calculate a parking trajectory having at least one stopping point;

a component configured to detect that the calculated stopping point has been reached, independently of driver actions; and

a component configured to provide a signal for a steering change for a steering controller, in response to the detection.
