Abstract
A method for an autonomous parking control apparatus includes determining whether a curb exists in an autonomous parking space for a vehicle; storing a position of the curb when the curb exists; determining whether steering control of the vehicle is required at the curb; and controlling autonomous parking of the vehicle by adjusting Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) steering angle to 0° when no steering control is required at the curb.
Claims10
An autonomous parking control method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, whether a curb exists along a path toward a parking space;
- upon determining that the curb exists, determining, by the processor, that control of a vehicle is hindered by the curb when a vehicle speed is less than a threshold and a change in a wheel direction sensor value is detected;
- storing, by the processor, a position of the curb;
- determining, by the processor, whether steering control of the vehicle is required while at least one wheel of the vehicle is in contact with the curb;
- and
- upon determining that no steering control is required, controlling, by the processor, autonomous parking of the vehicle by adjusting a steering angle of a Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) to 0°.

An autonomous parking control apparatus comprising:
- a memory including instructions;
- and
- a processor operatively connected to the memory and configured to:
- determine whether a curb exists along a path toward a parking space;
- upon determining that the curb exists, determine that control of a vehicle is hindered by the curb when a vehicle speed is less than a threshold and a change in a wheel direction sensor value is detected;
- store a position of the curb
- determine whether steering control of the vehicle is required while at least one wheel of the vehicle is in contact with the curb;
