PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240230894 titled 'PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS

The parking assist apparatus described in the abstract includes a sensor that detects objects using reflected waves and a controller that assists in parking the vehicle based on the sensor's detection results.

  • The sensor detects objects by receiving reflected waves from transmitted waves.
  • The controller provides a margin to the size of peripheral objects around the parking space.
  • Parking assist control is executed using the size of the peripheral object with the provided margin.
  • If the size of a newly detected peripheral object exceeds the provided margin, the controller adjusts the parking assist control accordingly.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for parking assistance systems - Autonomous vehicles for improved parking accuracy - Smart city infrastructure for efficient parking management

Problems Solved: - Difficulty in accurately detecting objects around parking spaces - Ensuring safe and precise parking maneuvers in tight spaces

Benefits: - Enhanced parking assistance for drivers - Increased safety and efficiency in parking - Improved utilization of parking spaces in crowded areas

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Parking Assist Systems for Vehicles This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance their vehicles' parking assistance features, catering to consumers looking for convenience and safety in parking.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the sensor detect objects around the parking space? 

  The sensor detects objects by receiving reflected waves from transmitted waves, allowing it to accurately identify obstacles.

2. What is the significance of providing a margin to the size of peripheral objects? 

  Providing a margin ensures that the parking assist control can adjust for varying sizes of objects around the parking space, improving overall accuracy.


Original Abstract Submitted

the parking assist apparatus includes a sensor that detects an object by receiving a reflected wave reflected by the object by a transmitted wave, and a controller that executes parking assist control for parking the vehicle in a parking space set based on a detection result of the sensor. the controller provides a predetermined margin to a size of a peripheral object, which is an object detected by the sensor and exists around the parking space, in a provisional direction in which the parking space is narrowed. the controller executes parking assist control using a size of the peripheral object to which the margin is provided. when the size of the peripheral object newly detected by the sensor becomes larger than the size to which the margin is provided, the controller executes parking assist control using the size of the peripheral object newly detected by the sensor.
