Abstract: A method for assisting a parking procedure of a motor vehicle in an available parking space. An electronic parking assistance system (EPAS) is operated to: acquire information related to a parking area having multiple parking spaces arranged adjacent and parallel to one another; generate a virtual map including positions of an available space, two flanking vehicles parked on opposed sides of the available space, and at least one additional vehicle parked alongside one of the two flanking parked vehicles on a side opposite from the available space; and determine a parking position in the available space considering the respective positions of the flanking vehicles and the additional vehicle. A vehicle steering system and/or braking system and/or powertrain is operated by the EPAS to guide the motor vehicle to the parking position.
