  • Method and apparatus for guided parking of a vehicle using ultrasonic position detection
    Patent number: 6163253
    Abstract: A sensing and indicating device is mounted at a fixed location and uses transmitted and reflected acoustic or electrical energy to determine the distance between the sensor and an approaching vehicle. The sensor provides visual and/or audible indication of the distance between the vehicle and the sensor. The driver of the vehicle uses that displayed or audible information to locate the vehicle within a defined space or envelope, e.g., within a garage. The sensor and indicator may also be located laterally with respect to the vehicle so that the distance between the vehicle side and the sensor can be determined whereby the vehicle can be located laterally within the defined space or envelope. The device remains active at all times, precluding any need for manual intervention to activate it, without compromising power consumption.
