Abstract
A circuit arrangement determines a distance of a motor vehicle from an obstacle in a near range by a displacement sensor instead of an ultrasonic measurement. The distance is determined, above a predetermined limiting value, in accordance with the known ultrasonic transit time measurement. In this range, by comparing the signals of the displacement sensor with the ultrasonic measurement a calibration can be carried out and a correction factor for the displacement sensor can be formed. The correction factor is taken into account during the measurement in the near range, as is the contour of the vehicle.
Claims15
A circuit arrangement for a motor vehicle comprising an ultrasonic sensor;
- an evaluation circuit;
- a warning display for an output of a distance of a vehicle from an obstacle;
- at least one displacement sensor producing signals;
- said evaluation circuit having distance determining means for determining a distance between a motor vehicle and an obstacle and formed so that in an immediate near range of the motor vehicle from the obstacle said distance determining means determine the distance from the signals of said displacement sensor while above a predetermined limited value said determining means determine the distance by an ultrasonic transit time measurement.
A circuit arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising an ultrasonic sensor;
- an evaluation circuit;
- a warning display for an output of a distance of a vehicle from an obstacle;
- at least one displacement sensor producing signals, said evaluation circuit having means for determining a distance in an immediate near range of the motor vehicle from the signals of said displacement sensor, said means for determining a distance between a motor vehicle and the obstacle from the signals of said displacement sensor being formed to determine a distance above a predetermined limiting value by an ultrasonic transit time measurement, said sensors, said evaluating circuit, said warning display and said means for determining distance being formed so as to provide a parking aid for the motor vehicle.
