<p>A method (600) and a system for assisting a vehicle operator (52) to parallel park a vehicle (10). The method (600) and system use only a single proximity sensor (24) to detect a suitable parallel parking space (36) and monitor the position of the vehicle (10) when backing into the parallel parking space (36). Assistance to parallel park the vehicle (10) may be as little as providing indications or warning to a vehicle operator (52) while the vehicle operator (52) backs the vehicle (10) into the parallel parking space (36), or may be as much as taking complete control of the vehicle (10) away from the vehicle operator (52), and autonomously parallel parking the vehicle (10).</p> |
