Method and device for providing assistance during a parking maneuver of a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for assisting in a parking maneuver for a motor vehicle into a parking space, the method comprising:
- driving the vehicle by a parking space;
while the vehicle is driving by the parking space, detecting the parking space and a boundary object located in an area of the parking space by a sensor array;
assigning, using a processor, a boundary object type to the detected boundary object; and
generating, using the processor, parking information about a feasibility of a parking maneuver into the parking space as a function of the assigned boundary object type and a position of the boundary object in the area of the parking space;
wherein the area of the parking space is subdivided into a plurality of segments and, for each segment, a boundary object type is assigned to a corresponding boundary object detected in the segments, andwherein the area of the parking space is subdivided into an arrangement of 3×
3 segments.

Abstract
A method for providing assistance during a parking maneuver of a motor vehicle into a parking space. The parking space and a boundary object located in the area of the parking space being detected by a sensor array while the vehicle is driving by the parking space. To simplify the parking maneuver, a boundary object type is assigned to the detected boundary object, and parking information relating to the feasibility of a parking maneuver into the parking space is generated. Furthermore, a device for providing assistance during a parking maneuver of a motor vehicle, into a parking space, having a sensor array for detecting a parking space and a boundary object located in the area of the parking space while the vehicle is driving by the parking space, having an analyzer unit connected to the sensor array, and having a memory unit.
