Abstract
A device for determining a space in which the vehicle can drive includes at least one sensing unit for sensing spatial coordinates of at least one object in a vehicle environment of the vehicle. A determining unit is configured to determine a space in which the vehicle can drive on the basis of the spatial coordinates of the at least one object sensed by the sensing unit and on the basis of specified dimensions of the vehicle.
Claims12
A parking assistance device for determining a space in which a vehicle can drive, comprising:
- at least one sensing unit for sensing spatial coordinates of at least one object in an environment of the vehicle;
- and
- a determining unit configured to determine the space in which the vehicle can drive on the basis of the spatial coordinates of the at least one object sensed by the sensing unit and on the basis of specified dimensions of the vehicle,
- wherein the sensing unit is configured to create a three-dimensional map of at least a part of the environment of the vehicle;
- wherein the three-dimensional map comprises positions of the at least one object and of the drivable space;
- and
- wherein the determining unit calculates on the basis of the space in which the vehicle can drive at least one target position possibility for the vehicle, in the event that the at least one target position possibility can be reached via a travel trajectory of the vehicle, located in the space in which the vehicle can drive.
A parking assistance method for determining a space in which a vehicle can drive, comprising:
- sensing spatial coordinates of at least one object in an environment of the vehicle;
- and
- determining the space in which the vehicle can drive on the basis of the sensed spatial coordinates of the at least one object and on the basis of specified dimensions of the vehicle;
- creating a three-dimensional map of at least a part of the environment of the vehicle, the three-dimensional map comprising positions of the at least one object and of the drivable space;
- and
- calculating, on the basis of the space in which the vehicle can drive, at least one target position possibility for the vehicle, in the event that the at least one target position possibility can be reached via a travel trajectory of the vehicle, located in the space in which the vehicle can drive.
