Orientation of the extent of a vehicle in the direction of the roadway in a parked end position with a parking assistance system for transverse parking
First Claim
1. A parking assistance system for carrying out an automated parking maneuver of a motor vehicle into a perpendicular parking space transversely with respect to the roadway, wherein the perpendicular parking space is bounded by a lateral object on one side of the perpendicular parking space and another lateral object on another side of the perpendicular parking space, with at least automated lateral guidance along a parking trajectory, which parking assistance system is configured to:
- (i) determine, via a sensor system, at least one offset between an extent of the lateral object in the direction of the roadway and an extent of the another lateral object in the direction of the roadway,(ii) determine a parking trajectory with a parked end position based on the at least one offset, wherein;
(a) insofar as a first offset is present in a first case, in a planned parked end position the extent of the vehicle in the direction of the roadwayis oriented essentially toward the extent of that lateral object of the two lateral objects which extends further in the direction of the roadway, oris oriented toward a first intermediate value between the extent of the lateral object in the direction of the roadway and the extent of the another lateral object in the direction of the roadway, and(b) insofar as a second offset is present in a second case that is smaller than the first offset of the first case, in the planned parked end position the extent of the vehicle in the direction of the roadwayis oriented toward a second intermediate value between the extent of the lateral object in the direction of the roadway and the extent of the another lateral object in the direction of the roadway, wherein the first intermediate value in the first case is closer to the extent of that lateral object of the two lateral objects extending further in the direction of the roadway than the second intermediate value in the second case, oris oriented essentially toward the extent of that lateral object of the two lateral objects which extends less far in the direction of the roadway.

Abstract
A parking assistance system is provided for carrying out an automated parking maneuver of a motor vehicle into a perpendicular parking space transversely with respect to the roadway along a parking trajectory to a parked end position. The parking assistance system is configured to determine an offset between the extent of one object in the direction of the roadway on one side of the parking space and the extent of another object in the direction of the roadway on the other side of the space by way of a sensor system. The parking assistance system is configured to determine a parking trajectory with a parked end position based on the offset.

12. A parking assistance system for carrying out an automated parking maneuver, the system comprising:
-
a motor vehicle; at least one sensor operatively configured in the motor vehicle; and an electronic control unit that receives signals from the at least one sensor, the electronic control unit maneuvering the motor vehicle into a perpendicular parking space transversely with respect to the roadway, the perpendicular parking space being bounded by a first lateral object on one side of the perpendicular parking space and a second lateral object on another side of the perpendicular parking space, wherein the electronic control unit; using the at least one sensor, determines;
i) a first offset that corresponds to a first reference distance between an end of the first lateral object and a reference point on the roadway, and ii) a second offset that corresponds to a second reference distance between an end of the second lateral object and the reference point on the roadway,calculates an observed offset by taking the absolute value of the difference between the first offset and the second offset, carries out a threshold comparison, in which the observed offset is compared to a threshold offset value that is stored in the electronic control unit, and outputs a command that instructs the motor vehicle to move into a first end parking position based on the outcome of the threshold comparison. - View Dependent Claims (13)
