Abstract

A method for assisting a maneuvering process of a motor vehicle, and a parking assistance device are provided. In a method for assisting a maneuvering process of a motor vehicle, wherein longitudinal and lateral control of the movement of the motor vehicle is carried out on the basis of predefined setpoint values of the direction of travel, speed or steering angle in order to automatically carry out the maneuvering process, at least some of these setpoint values and the chronological sequence in which the setpoint values are predefined during the maneuvering process are stored.

Claims (14)

1. A method comprising:

during an assisted parking maneuver (APM) in which a stored plurality of values define a maneuvering trajectory followed by a vehicle during the APM, and in response to occurrence of a stuck condition, processing by a controller the values in reverse order to exit the stuck condition by returning the vehicle to a position on the maneuvering trajectory encountered prior to the stuck condition.

2. The method according to claim 1 further comprising altering at least one of the values based on a fault associated with the maneuvering trajectory.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the values are stored in a chronological sequence.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the values specifies a predefined direction of travel.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the values specifies a predefined speed.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the values specifies a predefined steering angle.

7. A parking system comprising:

a controller programmed to, during an assisted parking maneuver (APM) in which a stored plurality of values define a maneuvering trajectory followed by a vehicle during the APM, and in response to occurrence of a stuck condition, process the values in reverse order to exit the stuck condition by returning the vehicle to a position on the maneuvering trajectory encountered prior to the stuck condition.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the controller is further programmed to alter at least one of the values based on a fault associated with the maneuvering trajectory.

9. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the values are stored in a chronological sequence.

10. The system according to claim 7 , wherein each of the values specifies a predefined direction of travel.

11. The system according to claim 7 , wherein each of the values specifies a predefined speed.

12. The system according to claim 7 , wherein each of the values specifies a predefined steering angle.
