  • Publication number: 20230039125
    Abstract: The invention relates to a parking assistance system for an ego vehicle (1), comprising a control device (2) for controlling a parking procedure, in which the ego vehicle (1) is guided to a target position within a parking space (10), the control device (2) can access sensors for environment detection and, on the basis of the sensor data, can determine a parking space (10) by identifying objects (10a, 11, 12, 13) surrounding the parking space (10), wherein the control device (2) is designed to specify a first minimum distance and a second minimum distance of the ego vehicle (1) from surrounding objects (10a, 11, 12, 13), the control device (2) is furthermore designed to specify, on the basis of the first minimum distance, a first parking region (14) and, on the basis of the second minimum distance, a second parking region (15), and the control device (2) determines the target position by specifying said position within the first and/or the second parking region (14, 15).
