Park-steer assist system and method for operating a park-steer assist system
First Claim
1. A semi-automatic park-steer assist system of a motor vehicle for aiding in an alignment of the motor vehicle in a parking space, comprising:
- a device configured to detect an activation signal;
a device configured to determine a change direction in which an alignment of the motor vehicle is to be changed;
a control unit configured to control at least one actuator in an active state of the park-steer assist system to deflect steerable wheels of the motor vehicle in the change direction when a set drive direction is forward and to deflect the steerable wheels counter to the change direction when the set drive direction is reverse;
wherein the control unit includes an alignment-determination unit configured to compare an instantaneous alignment of the motor vehicle with a setpoint alignment, and, if the instantaneous alignment corresponds to the setpoint alignment, to control the actuator to move the steerable wheels into a substantially non-deflected center position.

Abstract
The method relates to an operating method for a semi-automatic park-steer assist system and to a semi-automatic park-steer assist system of a motor vehicle for aiding in an alignment of the motor vehicle in a parking space, including a device for detecting an activation signal; a device for determining a change direction in which an alignment of the motor vehicle is to be changed; a device for detecting a set drive direction; and a control unit which controls at least one actuator in an active state of the park-steer assist system such that steerable wheels of the motor vehicle are turned in the change direction when the set drive direction is forward, and the steerable wheels are maximally turned counter to the change direction when the set drive direction is reverse.

11. A method for operating a semi-automatic park-steer assist system of a motor vehicle for aiding in an alignment of the motor vehicle in a parking space, comprising:
-
detecting an activation signal; determining a change direction in which an alignment of the motor vehicle is to be changed; and controlling at least one actuator with the aid of a control unit in an active state of the park-steer assist system to deflect steerable wheels of the motor vehicle in the change direction when the set drive direction is forward, and to deflect the steerable wheels counter to the change direction when the set drive direction is reverse; wherein the control unit includes an alignment-determination unit, the method further comprising; comparing, by the alignment-determination unit, an instantaneous alignment of the motor vehicle with a setpoint alignment; and if the instantaneous alignment corresponds to the setpoint alignment, controlling, by the alignment determination unit, the actuator to move the steerable wheels to a substantially non-deflected center position. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
