Method and device for assisting a driver of a vehicle in exiting from a parking space
First Claim
1. A method for assisting a driver of a vehicle in exiting from a lateral parking space in a longitudinal direction with respect to a roadway, wherein the parking method takes place without driver intervention, the method comprising:
- when a parking space is to be exited longitudinally with respect to a roadway;
measuring at least the length of the parking space to obtain measurement data;
determining, by a computing device having a processor, a parking-space-exiting trajectory at least on the basis of the measurement data;
starting a process of exiting the parking space; and
carrying out, by the computing device having the processor, the process of exiting the parking space with simultaneous collision prevention by monitoring a distance from a plurality of objects which bound the parking space,wherein the method concludes as soon as the parking-space-exiting trajectory allows for collision-free exiting from the parking space, andwherein when the process of exiting the parking space is carried out, the steering of the vehicle is controlled automatically, and wherein the automatic control of the steering concludes when the vehicle has reached an intermediate position from which the vehicle can exit the parking space using a single maneuver.

Abstract
A method for assisting a vehicle driver in exiting from a lateral parking space in a longitudinal direction with respect to a roadway is disclosed. The method involves measuring at least the length of the parking space to obtain measurement data, determining a parking-space-exiting trajectory at least on the basis of the measurement data, starting a process of exiting the parking space, and carrying out the process of exiting the parking space with simultaneous collision prevention by monitoring a distance from a plurality of objects which bound the parking space. During the exiting process, the steering of the vehicle is controlled automatically, and the automatic control of the steering concludes when the vehicle has reached an intermediate position from which the vehicle can exit the parking space using a single maneuver. The method concludes as soon as the parking-space-exiting trajectory allows for collision-free exiting from the parking space.
