Parking aid for motor vehicles assists in steering and parking by applying torque to steering wheel, and by two or more artificial steering stops on parking path

摘要

The parking aid enables a vehicle (3) to be parked or steered autonomously, or assists a driver in a parking operation, using a steering wheel torque applied to the steering wheel. The driver is assisted by pref. two or three artificial steering stops on a parking path. The parking path is divided into a pull-in path in the area of a parking space (6), and a start-up path in front of it. At least part of the start-up path is determined on the basis of one or more polynominals (10,11,12). The contact point (16) between start-up path and pull-in path is determined dependent upon the position of the vehicle to be parked.
