Parking aiding device
First Claim
1. A parking assisting apparatus used when performing a parking operation in which a vehicle is moved forward while maintaining a fixed steering angle, stopped to steer in the reverse direction, and then moved backward while maintaining a fixed steering angle to effect back-up parking, the apparatus comprising:
- a yaw angle detecting means for detecting a yaw angle of the vehicle;
a reference setting means for setting a reference position for the yaw angle;
a controller for determining the vehicle position on the basis of the yaw angle; and
a guide means for providing the driver with steering information on the basis of the vehicle position determined by the controller.

Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for assisting steering at the time of parking which allows the driver to easily ascertain the steering timing and steering amount at the time of parking.
Connected to a controller 51 are a start switch 53, a function selecting switch 56, a yaw rate sensor 52 for detecting the angular velocity in the yaw angle direction of the vehicle, and a buzzer 54 for providing the driver with steering information in the form of sound. The controller integrates the angular velocity in the yaw direction detected by the yaw rate sensor and calculates the yaw angle of the vehicle, on the basis of which it identifies the parking step which the vehicle is in. And, it provides the driver with an operating method and an operating timing in correspondence with each step as vocal steering information.
