Abstract
A method for executing an autonomous parking process of a vehicle using a driver assistance system includes sensing an external environment of the vehicle, receiving coordinates identifying a location of the vehicle, receiving a navigational speed limit that is associated with the location identified by the coordinates, and transmitting data associated with the external environment and the navigational speed limit to an Electronic Control Unit of the vehicle. The method further includes carrying out the autonomous parking process of the vehicle, determining a region of interest of the external environment of the vehicle based on the data and the navigational speed limit, and monitoring on-coming traffic within the region of interest.

A method for executing an autonomous parking process of a vehicle using a driver assistance system, comprising:
- sensing an external environment of the vehicle;
- receiving coordinates identifying a location of the vehicle, and receiving a navigational speed limit that is associated with the location identified by the coordinates;
- transmitting data associated with the external environment and the navigational speed limit to an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the vehicle;
- carrying out the autonomous parking process of the vehicle;
- determining a region of interest of the external environment of the vehicle based on the data and the navigational speed limit;
- and
- monitoring on-coming traffic within the region of interest.
A driver assistance system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of detection sensors configured to collect data associated with an external environment of the vehicle;
- a navigational sensor configured to receive coordinates identifying a location of the vehicle, and further configured to receive a navigational speed limit that is associated with the location identified by the coordinates;
- and
- an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) configured to:
- receive data associated with the external environment of the vehicle from the plurality of detection sensors;
- receive the coordinates and the navigational speed limit from the navigational sensor;
- carry out an autonomous parking process of the vehicle;
- determine a region of interest of the external environment of the vehicle based on the data and the navigational speed limit;
- and
- monitor on-coming traffic within the region of interest detected by the plurality of detection sensors.
