Abstract
A sensor system for a vehicle low speed parking maneuver, which includes a first curb with a groove, and a plurality of proximity sensors contained within the groove, the plurality of sensors to detect a vehicle tire within a determined distance from the first curb during a vehicle parking maneuver, and the plurality of sensors wirelessly transmit detection data to a controller for parking validation.
Claims17
A sensor system for a vehicle low speed parking maneuver, comprising:
- a first curb with a groove;
- and
- a plurality of proximity sensors contained within the groove;
- the plurality of sensors to detect a vehicle tire within a determined distance from the first curb during a vehicle parking maneuver;
- and
- the plurality of sensors wirelessly transmit detection data to a controller for parking validation, wherein the controller determines if the detection data is above or below a validation threshold.
A sensor system for parking alignment to an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger, comprising:
- a first curb with a first plurality of proximity sensors occupied within a first groove;
- a second curb with a second plurality of proximity sensors occupied within a second groove, the second curb is different from the first curb;
- the first plurality of sensors and the second plurality of sensors to detect a vehicle within a determined distance from the first curb and from the second curb during a vehicle parking alignment maneuver;
- and
- the first plurality of sensors and the second plurality of sensors wirelessly transmit detection data to a controller for parking alignment validation, wherein the controller determines if the detection data is above or below a validation threshold.
A sensor system for a vehicle parking area, comprising:
- a first curb with a first plurality of proximity sensors contained within a first groove;
- a second curb with a second plurality of proximity sensors contained within a second groove, the second curb is different from the first curb;
- the first plurality of sensors and the second plurality of sensors to detect if a vehicle is within a determined distance from the first curb and from the second curb located in a vehicle parking area;
- and
- the first plurality of sensors and the second plurality of sensors wirelessly transmit detection data to a controller for parking validation, wherein the controller determines if the detection data is above or below a validation threshold.
