Abstract

A method and a device for determining a parking trajectory, in particular for a driver assistance system, for autonomous or partially autonomous maneuvering of a vehicle into a target parking position, is disclosed. A perspective representation of the vehicle surroundings is displayed to a user on a display device and a previously determined parking trajectory is output in the representation of the vehicle surroundings. The previously determined parking trajectory can be influenced by the user by at least one manual operator input. An adjusted parking trajectory is determined in accordance with the manual operator inputs.

Claims (16)

1. A method for determining a parking trajectory, for a driver assistance system, for autonomous or partially autonomous maneuvering of a vehicle into a target parking position, comprising:

displaying to a user on a display device a perspective representation of the vehicle surroundings, a previously determined parking trajectory in the representation of the vehicle surroundings, and detected obstacles considered in the determination of the previously determined parking trajectory;

receiving from the user at least one manual operator input associated with the parking trajectory; and

determining an adjusted parking trajectory in accordance with the manual operator inputs,

wherein receiving the at least one manual operator input includes deleting, repositioning, and/or altering obstacles.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving the at least one manual operator input involves at least one of compressing, stretching, and/or displacing the previously determined parking trajectory.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving the at least one manual operator input involves at least deleting, repositioning, and/or altering waypoints of the previously determined parking trajectory.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein altering obstacles includes altering the vertical and/or horizontal extent of the obstacles.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining an implementability of the adjusted parking trajectory.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising outputting visual feedback regarding the implementability of the adjusted parking trajectory to the user during the manual operator input.

7. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising restricting the manual operator input in accordance with the implementability.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising outputting multiple previously determined parking trajectories to the user in the representation of the vehicle surroundings and the at least one manual operator input includes selecting a preferred parking trajectory.

9. A driver assistance system for autonomously or partially autonomous maneuvering of a vehicle into a target parking position, comprising:

a display device configured to display to a user a perspective representation of the vehicle surroundings, a previously determined parking trajectory in the representation of the vehicle surroundings, and detected obstacles considered in the determination of the previously determined parking trajectory;

an input device configured to receive from the user at least one manual operator input associated with the parking trajectory, wherein receiving the at least one manual operator input includes deleting, repositioning, and/or altering obstacles; and

a control device configured to determine an adjusted parking trajectory in accordance with the manual operator inputs.
