Abstract
Technology for a parking assist system and method for varying a parking area is provided. The parking assist system includes an occupant's build sensing unit configured to sense an occupant's build in a vehicle when parking the vehicle; a control unit configured to set a distance after parking the vehicle between the vehicle and a wall surface of a parking lot according to the occupant's build and to calculate a parking trace; and an automatic steering unit controlled by the control unit and configured to automatically control steering of the vehicle according to the calculated parking trace.
Claims14
A parking assist system for varying a parking area, the system comprising:
- an occupant's build sensing unit configured to sense an occupant's build in a vehicle when parking the vehicle;
- a control unit configured to set a distance after parking the vehicle between the vehicle and a wall surface of a parking lot based on a mode that corresponds to the occupant's build and to calculate a parking trace based on the distance after parking the vehicle;
- and
- an automatic steering unit controlled by the control unit and configured to automatically control steering of the vehicle according to the calculated parking trace,
- wherein the control unit divides the occupant's build into an occupant absence mode, a normal build mode, a large build mode, and a very large build mode and sets the distance after parking the vehicle between the vehicle and the wall surface of the parking lot based on the occupant's build,
- wherein the occupant absence mode is further subdivided as the smallest range for determining builds, and
- wherein when the occupant's build is included in the smallest range for determining build, the control unit is configured to enter the very large build mode.

A parking assist system for varying a parking area, the system comprising:
- an occupant's build sensing unit configured to sense an occupant's weight in a vehicle when parking the vehicle;
- a control unit configured to set a distance after parking the vehicle between the vehicle and a wall surface of a parking lot based on a mode that corresponds to the occupant's weight and calculate a parking trace based on the distance after parking the vehicle;
- and
- an automatic steering unit controlled by the control unit and configured to automatically control steering of the vehicle according to the calculated parking trace,
- wherein the control unit divides the occupant's build into an occupant absence mode, a normal build mode, a large build mode, and a very large build mode and sets the distance after parking the vehicle between the vehicle and the wall surface of the parking lot based on the occupant's build,
- wherein the occupant absence mode is further subdivided as the smallest range for determining builds, and
- wherein when the occupant's weight is included in the smallest range for determining weights, the control unit is configured to enter the very large build mode.
