Parking Guidance Systems

Ultrasonic sensors scan the side of the road and the park assistant steers the vehicle even in tight parking spaces

Unsuccessful parking attempts are frustrating and nerve-wracking. The Pbi park assist gets drivers into any suitable parking space within seconds – without any stress or hassle. At the push of a button, the assistant parks the vehicle. All the driver has to do is accelerating and braking.

Operation principle of the park assist

A special sensor integrated into the side of the front bumper scans the side of the road as the vehicle drives past. The park assist lets the driver know immediately when it finds a suitable parallel or perpendicular space. If the driver presses the button to activate the park assist, the system calculates the optimum path into the space, the necessary steering movements, and the number of maneuvers needed. Then the park assist takes control: the driver lets go of the steering wheel and controls the parking maneuver by carefully accelerating and braking.

With the support of electric power steering, the assistant performs all the steering movements and guides the vehicle into even the tightest of spaces. The driver remains in control throughout, and can abort the maneuver at any time by simply taking hold of the steering wheel.

In addition, the assistant also helps with pulling out of the parking space. It steers the vehicle into a position from which the driver can safely and quickly pull out of the space. The driver keeps an eye on traffic, and brakes or accelerates as directed by the system.
