Method and device for parking assistance for a vehicle
The invention relates to a method and a device for assisting a parking process of a vehicle ( 1 ) into a parking space (P) which is arranged transversely with respect to a carriageway (F) and which is bounded on at least one side by a lateral boundary ( 10, 11 ), wherein the parking space (P) is measured by means of a measuring device, a parked position (G) of the vehicle ( 1 ) inside the parking space (P) is defined by means of an evaluation device, and a parking path (B) of the vehicle ( 1 ) into the parked position (G) is determined by means of the evaluation device. In order to assist the parking process in very wide parking spaces (P), the parked position (G) is defined at a lateral distance (d) from the center longitudinal axis (L) of the parking space (P) by the evaluation device at least when a predefined minimum width (b-min) of the parking space (P) is exceeded.
1. A method for assisting a parking process of a vehicle into a parking space which is arranged transversely with respect to a carriageway and which is bounded on both sides by, in each case, one associated boundary, the method comprising:
measuring the parking space using a measuring device;
defining a parked position of the vehicle inside the parking space using an evaluation device; and
determining a parking path of the vehicle into the parked position using the evaluation device,
Wherein the evaluation device is configured to compare the measured space from the measuring device with a predefined minimum width stored in the evaluation device, determine a parked position at a negligible distance from a center longitudinal axis of the parking space when the width of the parking space is less than or equal to the predefined minimum width,
determine a parked position at a lateral distance from the center longitudinal axis of the parking space when the width of the parking space exceeds the predefined minimum width.
2. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the minimum width of the parking space is dimensioned in such a way that at least one further passenger car of a customary width can be parked next to the vehicle within the parking space.
3. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the lateral distance between the parked position and the center longitudinal axis of the parking space is defined by the evaluation unit in such a way that the vehicle is arranged in the parked position with one side of the vehicle at a predefined lateral distance from the lateral boundary.
4. The method according to claim 3 ,
wherein the parked position is defined by the evaluation unit in such a way that in the parked position the vehicle is arranged with a front seat passenger's side at a predefined lateral distance from an adjacent boundary of the associated boundaries.
5. The method according to claim 3 ,
wherein the parked position is defined by the evaluation unit in such a way that in the parked position the vehicle is arranged at a predefined lateral distance from the associated boundary which is closest to the vehicle at the start of the parking process.
6. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein steering of the vehicle during the parking process is actuated by the evaluation unit in accordance with the parking path.
7. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein during the parking process information relating to the guidance of the vehicle along the parking path is conveyed to a driver of the vehicle via an output device.
8. A device for assisting a parking process of a vehicle into a parking space which is arranged transversely with respect to a carriageway and which is bounded on both sides by boundary, the device comprising:
a measuring device for measuring the parking space; and
an evaluation device for defining a parked position of the vehicle inside the parking space and for determining a parking path of the vehicle into the parked position,
wherein the evaluation device comprises a processor for:
comparing the measured space from the measuring device with a predefined minimum width stored in the evaluation device,
determining a parked position at a negligible distance from a center longitudinal axis of the parking space when the width of the parking space is less than or equal to the predefined minimum width,
determining a parked position at a lateral distance from the center longitudinal axis of the parking space when the width of the parking space exceeds the predefined minimum width.
9. The device according to claim 8 ,
wherein steering of the vehicle is actuated using an evaluation unit to control the steering in accordance with the parking path during the parking process.
10. The device according to claim 8 ,
further comprising an output device for conveying to a driver information relating to the guidance of the vehicle along the parking path during the parking process.
