Abstract
A parking assist system for a vehicle is provided that includes a brake system having at least one wheel count encoder configured to output a wheel count signal and a controller configured to limit a velocity of the vehicle in a first mode. The controller is also configured to stop the vehicle at a target location in a second mode, and prevent overshoot of the target location by the vehicle in a third mode.
Claims10
A parking assist system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a brake system having at least one wheel count encoder configured to output a wheel count signal;
- and
- a controller configured to limit a velocity of the vehicle in a first mode, configured to stop the vehicle at a target location in a second mode, and configured to prevent overshoot of the target location by the vehicle in a third mode by outputting a brake torque inversely proportional to a calculated distance to the target stop location of the vehicle.
A parking assist system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a scheduler in electrical communication with a parking aid controller and a vehicle communication bus and configured to output feedback signals to a control module configured to operate in a first, a second and a third mode, wherein the control module in the third mode is configured to output a brake torque inversely proportional to a calculated distance to a target stop location of the vehicle.
