Abstract
A method for detecting a parking area on at least one road section includes providing a usable width of the road section. The usable width represents a passable width of the road section between parking vehicles. The method further includes travelling on the road section using a detector vehicle and detecting lateral distances from objects with a detector device arranged in the detector vehicle. The method also includes comparing the detected lateral distances with the usable width, and detecting the parking area based on the comparison.
Claims12
A method for detecting a parking area on at least one road section, comprising:
- identifying a usable width of the road section, the usable width representing a drivable width of the road section between parked vehicles;
- traveling the road section with a detection vehicle;
- and
- determining lateral distances from objects with a determination device arranged in the detection vehicle;
- comparing the determined lateral distances to the usable width;
- and
- detecting the parking area based on the comparison.
A device for detecting a parking area on at least one road section, comprising:
- a detection vehicle having a determination device configured to determine lateral distances,
- wherein a usable width of the road section is known to the device, and
- wherein the determination device is configured to detect a parking area from a comparison of the determined lateral distances to the usable width.
