Method for providing assistance during a parking maneuver of a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for providing assistance during a parking maneuver of a vehicle into a parking space situated laterally to the vehicle to be parked, the method comprising:
- detecting a length of the parking space with the aid of a sensor system of the vehicle while the vehicle drives past the parking space;
detecting a trajectory of the vehicle differing from a straight trajectory of the vehicle while driving past the parking space; and
ascertaining a correction value for the detected length of the parking space,wherein the trajectory of the vehicle is determined based on a rotation of the vehicle about its vertical axis, detected by a sensor, and the trajectory of the vehicle is determined based on a detected difference between the distances traveled by wheels on two tracks of the vehicle.

Abstract
A method providing assistance during the parking maneuver of a vehicle into a parking space situated laterally to the vehicle to be parked, an erroneous length of the parking space being detected with the aid of a sensor system of the vehicle while the vehicle drives past the parking space on a curved trajectory. To determine the actual length of the parking space, a trajectory of the vehicle differing from a straight trajectory of the vehicle is additionally detected while driving past the parking space, for example, on the basis of the steering angle of the vehicle, and a correction value for the detected length of the parking space is ascertained therefrom. The actual length of the parking space is determined with a high degree of accuracy without the need for other measured values to be detected, for example, the orientation of parked vehicles or the depth of the parking space.
