Automotive system including a back-up aid with parking assist
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for combining a back-up aid function with park assist function in a motor vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- determining a distance from a motor vehicle to an object;
determining a velocity of the motor vehicle;
subtracting a scaled version of the velocity and a minimum distance threshold from the distance to provide a first multiplicand; and
providing a driver stimulus as a function of the first multiplicand.

Abstract
A technique for combining a back-up aid function with a park assist function in a motor vehicle initially includes determining a distance from a motor vehicle to an object. Next, a velocity of the motor vehicle is determined. Then, a scaled version of the velocity and a minimum distance threshold are subtracted from the distance to provide a first multiplicand. Finally, a driver stimulus is provided as a function of the first multiplicand.
