Patent Images
1. A parking operation aiding system comprising:
- a display for displaying parking-aiding information including at least a target parking position and a vehicle position, so that said parking-aiding information can be visually confirmed by a driver of the vehicle;
a locus calculating means for calculating an expected movement locus at the time point when the vehicle has first been moved, based on a predetermined steering angle;
an interference determining means for determining whether the expected movement locus calculated by the locus calculating means will interfere with the target parking position; and
an information determining means for determining subsequent parking operation aiding information based on the result of said determination by said interference determining means.

Abstract
A parking operation aiding system includes a display for displaying parking-aiding information including a target parking position and a vehicle position. The system also includes a locus calculating means for calculating an expected movement locus for a subject vehicle in accordance with a distance of movement of the vehicle and a steering angle, an interference determining means for determining whether the expected movement locus will interfere with the target parking position, and an information determining means for determining subsequent parking operation aiding information based on the presence or absence the interference.

1. A parking operation aiding system comprising:
-
a display for displaying parking-aiding information including at least a target parking position and a vehicle position, so that said parking-aiding information can be visually confirmed by a driver of the vehicle;
a locus calculating means for calculating an expected movement locus at the time point when the vehicle has first been moved, based on a predetermined steering angle;
an interference determining means for determining whether the expected movement locus calculated by the locus calculating means will interfere with the target parking position; and
an information determining means for determining subsequent parking operation aiding information based on the result of said determination by said interference determining means. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
when the turn-back movement is selected, said locus calculating means selects an expected movement locus which will not interfere with the target parking position and the display displays a target turn-back position closer to the target parking position on said expected movement locus. -
12. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 10, wherein said information determining means includes a selecting means for selecting the turn-back movement, and
when the turn-back movement is selected, said locus calculating means selects an expected movement locus which will not interfere with the target parking position and the display displays a target turn-back position closer to the target parking position on said expected movement locus. -
13. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 11, wherein said display displays an expected movement locus based on an actual steering angle in place of displaying the expected movement locus, and displays a target turn-back position based on said expected movement locus, on top said expected movement locus.
-
14. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 12, wherein said display displays an expected movement locus based on an actual steering angle in place of displaying the expected movement locus, and displays a target turn-back position based on said expected movement locus, on top said expected movement locus.
-
15. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 13, wherein when the vehicle reaches the target turn-back position and the turn-back operation is started, said display displays a parking operation aiding information indicating a moving direction for the vehicle.
-
16. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 14, wherein when the vehicle reaches the target turn-back position and the turn-back operation is started, said display displays a parking operation aiding information indicating a moving direction for the vehicle.
-
17. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 1, wherein when said interference determining means determines that the expected movement locus will not interfere with the target parking position, subsequent parking operation aiding information is indicated, and when such indication is carried out, said locus calculating means calculates an expected movement locus depending on an actual steering angle, and said display displays said expected movement locus depending on the actual steering angle.
-
18. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 17, wherein said display displays said expected movement locus depending on the actual steering angle in place of the expected movement locus depending on the predetermined steering angle, and also displays an expected parking position depending on said expected movement locus depending on the actual steering angle on said expected movement locus.
-
19. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 18, wherein said display changes the displaying form between a displaying form depending on the predetermined steering angle and a displaying form depending on the actual steering angle.
-
20. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 19, wherein the change of the displaying is at least one of the change of a displayed color and the change of the type of a displayed line.
-
21. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 17, wherein said display displays said subsequent parking operation aiding information is indicated.
-
22. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 17, wherein said display displays a visual prompt to the diver to carry out a driving operation, and when said driving operation is carried out, said locus calculating means calculates an expected movement locus depending on an actual steering angle, and said display displays said expected movement locus depending on the actual steering angle.
-
23. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 1, further comprising a sound generating means for generating an audio sound indicating to the driver to view the display.
-
24. A parking operation aiding system according to claim 1, further comprising a sound generating means for generating interactive audio messages to aid the driver with said parking operation.
