Abstract: A parking assist system that performs an automated parking maneuver of a motor vehicle into a transverse parking space transversely with respect to a roadway with automated longitudinal and transverse guidance along a parking trajectory. The system detects a signal characteristic of a drive torque of a drive engine that indicates impacting of one or more wheels against an obstacle. The system also detects that a vehicle position reached when the one or more wheels impact against the obstacle indicates that the obstacle is a delimiting ground obstacle which delimits the transverse parking space toward a rear.

Abstract: A parking assist system is configured to perform an automated parking maneuver of a motor vehicle into a transverse parking space transversely with respect to a roadway with automated longitudinal and transverse guidance along a parking trajectory. The system is configured to define an end-of-parking position for the motor vehicle corresponding to an assumed end of the parking maneuver, and to detect, while the parking maneuver is being performed, that a signal which is characteristic of a drive torque of a drive engine fulfills a first criterion, the fulfillment of which indicates impacting of one or more wheels against an obstacle. The system may also be configured to detect that a vehicle position reached when the one or more wheels impact against the obstacle fulfills, in comparison with the end-of-parking position, a second criterion, the fulfillment of which indicates that the obstacle is a delimiting ground obstacle which delimits the transverse parking space toward a rear.
