Method for determining the ability to enter a parking space and a parking assist device

摘要

Disclosed is a method of determining the ability to enter a parking gap starting from an initial position of a vehicle. The negotiability is determined by way of two characteristic diagrams (ymin(δ,&thetas;,x); ymax(δ,&thetas;,x)), with the two characteristic diagrams (ymin(δ,&thetas;,x); ymax(δ,&thetas;,x)) indicating for several predetermined sets of values of first vehicle quantities (δ; &thetas;; x) a minimum value (ymin(δ,&thetas;,x)) and a maximum value (ymax(δ,&thetas;, x)) for a second vehicle quantity (y), and with the first vehicle quantities (δ; &thetas;; x) and the second vehicle quantity (y) being selected from the group comprising a longitudinal (x) and a lateral (y) distance of the vehicle (1) from the parking gap (9), a yaw angle (&thetas;) of the vehicle (1) and a steering angle (δ) at steerable wheels (2a, 2b) of the vehicle (1). A parking assist device is suitable to implement the method.
