PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240286601 titled 'PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
The abstract of this patent application describes a parking assistance system and method that involves determining swing out arc radii of vehicle doors to assist in parking.
- The method includes determining the swing out arc radii of the doors based on vehicle specifications or data from distance measuring sensors.
- The processor provides guidance to the autonomous driving system or driver of the vehicle for positioning in a parking spot based on the swing out arc radii of the doors.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in autonomous parking systems to improve accuracy and efficiency. - It can also be used in parking assistance features in vehicles to aid drivers in tight parking spaces.
Problems Solved: - Helps drivers park more accurately and safely in tight parking spots. - Enhances the functionality of autonomous parking systems by providing precise guidance.
Benefits: - Reduces the risk of collisions while parking. - Improves overall parking experience for drivers. - Enhances the efficiency of autonomous parking systems.
Commercial Applications: Parking assistance systems for vehicles, autonomous parking features in self-driving cars, automotive safety technologies.
Questions about Parking Assistance Systems: 1. How does this technology improve parking accuracy? - This technology improves parking accuracy by determining swing out arc radii of vehicle doors to provide precise guidance for parking. 2. What are the potential applications of this parking assistance system? - The potential applications include autonomous parking systems, parking assistance features in vehicles, and automotive safety technologies.
Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure is generally directed to parking assistance systems and methods. an example method can include determining, by a processor of a parking assistance system in a first vehicle, a first swing out arc radius of a door of the first vehicle and/or a second swing out arc radius of a door of a second vehicle that is parked adjacent to the first vehicle. the swing out arc radius of a door may, for example, be determined based on vehicle specifications or on data provided by a distance measuring sensor. the processor may then provide to an autonomous driving system of the first vehicle and/or a driver of the first vehicle, guidance for positioning the first vehicle in a parking spot, based, on the first swing out arc radius of the door of the first vehicle and/or the second swing out arc radius of the door of the second vehicle.
