Abstract
A method for parking a vehicle in which distances of the vehicle from obstacles as well as the length and/or width of a parking space are determined. Sensors are used for parking space determination as well as distance measurement in this context.
Claims13
A method for parking a vehicle, comprising:
- determining distances of the vehicle from obstacles via a plurality of sensors, at least one of a length and a width of a parking space being determined by at least some of the sensors;
- measuring a distance from boundaries of the parking space by the sensors when subsequently parking in the parking space;
- and
- issuing a warning signal to a driver when the measured distance drops below a predefined distance from an obstacle,
- wherein the sensors are operated in a first measuring mode when determining the at least one of the length and the width of the parking space, and in a second measuring mode when determining the distance from the boundaries of the parking space.

A device for parking a vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors to determine distances of the vehicle from an obstacles, at least one of a length and a width of a parking space being determined by at least some of the sensors;
- and
- an arrangement configured to measure a distance from boundaries of the parking space, via at least some of the sensors, when parking, and to issue a warning signal to a driver when the measured distance drops below a predefined distance from the obstacle,
- wherein the sensors are operated in a first measuring mode when determining the at least one of the length and the width of the parking space, and in a second measuring mode when determining the distance from the boundaries of the parking space.
