PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262344 titled 'PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS
The parking assist apparatus described in the patent application is designed to assist in automated parking control for a vehicle in a target parking spot.
- The parking assist ECU calculates the estimated width of the entrance of the target parking spot.
- It detects the presence or absence of a getting-off obstacle that affects the space to get off from the vehicle once parked.
- The automated parking control is executed when there is no getting-off obstacle detected and the estimated width of the entrance is larger than a predetermined threshold.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for parking assistance technology - Smart city infrastructure for efficient parking solutions
Problems Solved: - Difficulty in parking in tight spaces - Ensuring safe and efficient parking maneuvers
Benefits: - Improved parking accuracy - Enhanced safety during parking - Time-saving for drivers
Commercial Applications: Automotive manufacturers can integrate this technology into their vehicles to offer advanced parking assistance features, increasing the appeal of their products in the market.
Questions about the parking assist apparatus: 1. How does the parking assist ECU calculate the estimated width of the entrance of the target parking spot? 2. What are the key factors that determine the presence or absence of a getting-off obstacle in the parking spot?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are constantly working on enhancing parking assist technologies to make them more accurate and user-friendly. Stay updated on the latest advancements in automated parking systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
the parking assist apparatus includes a parking assist ecu configured to be able to execute an automated parking control for parking the own vehicle in a target parking spot. the parking assist ecu calculates an estimated value of a width of an entrance of the target parking spots, detects the presence or absence of a getting-off obstacle that affects a space to get off from the own vehicle when the own vehicle is parked in the target parking spot, and executes the automated parking control when the getting-off obstacle is not detected and the estimated value of the width of the entrance is larger than a predetermined first threshold hth
