  • Method for providing information for parallel parking of a vehicle
    Patent number: 7528740
    Abstract: A method for providing information for the driver of a vehicle for parallel parking of the vehicle includes sending the driver information about the length (size) of the parking spot in relation to the length (size) of the vehicle. After detection of the first obstacle (or end point) delimiting the length of the parking spot, the vehicle and its position are displayed in relation to the parking spot or the already detected part of the parking spot, on a display unit assigned to the driver. The ratio of the vehicle length to the length of the parking spot or the detected part of the parking spot corresponds to the ratio of the displayed vehicle length to the length of the displayed parking spot or the displayed part of the parking spot.
