Abstract
A control system for a vehicle, configured to: receive image data; determine, in dependence on received image data, that a kerb is in the vicinity of the vehicle during an automated parking manoeuvre; determine whether a projected path of the parking manoeuvre will cause the vehicle to strike the kerb; when it is determined that the projected path of the parking manoeuvre will not cause the vehicle to strike the kerb, output a control signal to control the vehicle to proceed with the parking manoeuvre; and when it is determined that the projected path of the parking manoeuvre will cause the vehicle to strike the kerb, output a control signal to control performance of one or more actions to prevent a non-user authorised vehicle kerb strike.
Claims15
A control system for a vehicle, the control system comprising one or more controllers, wherein the control system is configured to:
- receive image data;
- determine, in dependence on, at least, the received image data, that a kerb is in the vicinity of the vehicle during an automated parking manoeuvre;
- determine whether a projected path of the automated parking manoeuvre of the vehicle will cause the vehicle to strike the kerb;
- when it is determined that the projected path of the automated parking manoeuvre of the vehicle will not cause the vehicle to strike the kerb, output at least one control signal to control the vehicle to proceed with the automated parking manoeuvre;
- and
- when it is determined that the projected path of the automated parking manoeuvre of the vehicle will cause the vehicle to strike the kerb, output at least one control signal to control performance of one or more actions to prevent a non-user authorised vehicle kerb strike.
A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving image data;
- determining, in dependence on, at least, the received image data, that at least one kerb is in the vicinity of the vehicle during an automated parking manoeuvre;
- determining whether a projected path of the automated parking manoeuvre of the vehicle will cause the vehicle to strike the kerb;
- when it is determined that the projected path of the automated parking manoeuvre of the vehicle will not cause the vehicle to strike the kerb, outputting at least one control signal to control the vehicle to proceed with the automated parking manoeuvre;
- and
- when it is determined that the projected path of the automated parking manoeuvre of the vehicle will cause the vehicle to strike the kerb, outputting at least one control signal to control performance of one or more actions to prevent a non-user authorised vehicle kerb strike.
