A trailer reversing assist system for controlling reversing operations of a vehicle and trailer connected to the vehicle includes a module that detects an angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle, and outputs a trailer angle signal corresponding to the detected angle. The system also includes a human machine interface (HMI) device that provides an output signal based upon an input of the user, where the generated output signal includes information regarding magnitude and direction of a desired change to the angle. The system calculates a trailer trajectory that positions the trailer at a target location or calculates a trailer trajectory correction, wherein the calculation is performed using the output signal as corresponding to a change relative to the detected angle, and the detected angle corresponds to the trailer angle signal generated at the time of operation of the HMI device by the user.

A parking assistance device includes a range setting unit configured to set a search range searching for an obstacle based on a movement range of a host vehicle for a case in which the host vehicle is moved along a parking route, in terms of two directions, and a judgment unit configured to detect an object having a possibility of interfering with the movement of the host vehicle, based on the surrounding condition around the host vehicle, in a case in which the detected object is positioned within the search range, to judge whether the detected object is an obstacle interfering with the movement of the host vehicle along the parking route, and, in a case in which the detected object is positioned outside the search range, not to make judgment whether the detected object is the obstacle.

A parking assistance device for resetting a parking path when an obstacle is on the parking path includes a pull-out path computing unit that computes a pull-out path for pulling the vehicle out of the parking space based on parking space information and constraints regarding vehicle behavior, a candidate connection position setting unit that sets a plurality of candidate connection positions on the pull-out path, a reachable path computing unit that computes a reachable path for allowing the vehicle to reach at least one of the candidate connection positions from the initial position, a parking path setting unit that sets a parking path of from the initial position to the parking space by connecting the pull-out and reachable paths, and a path resetting unit that computes a parking path of from the stop position to the parking space, and sets the computed parking path as a new parking path.

A parking assistance device includes a camera configured to capture a rear-view image of a vehicle, a plurality of sensors configured to sense an obstacle located around the vehicle, a controller configured to generate a parking guide line to guide the vehicle into a target parking space and assist a driver of the vehicle to park based on a separation distance between a predicted entrance trajectory corresponding to a steering angle of the vehicle and the parking guide line, and a display configured to match and display the rear-view image of the vehicle with the parking guide line.

A parking assistance system for a motor vehicle. A parking-space searching drive is performed where longitudinal and transverse guidance is determined, while a detection device determines a vehicle environment. Parking spaces may be measured on the basis of the detected vehicle environment. Based on the parking space measurement, it is determined if a parking space is suitable for the vehicle.

An example operation includes one or more of associating a driver parking space preference to an identified driver of a transport, associating at least one occupant parking space preference to at least one identified occupant of the transport and determining a relative parking position within a potential parking space based on the driver parking space preference and the at least one occupant parking space preference.

Disclosed is a system of providing a parking guidance service of a vehicle including a sensor unit including a plurality of sensors configured to sense an environment around the vehicle and a parking space, a database unit configured to store parking pattern data of a driver, a controller configured to determine a parking difficulty of the parking space based on information sensed by the sensor unit and parking pattern data of the driver, stored in the database unit, and an output unit configured to provide information on the parking difficulty of the parking space, determined by the controller.

The disclosure describes a method for an ego vehicle. The method includes determining that a vehicle needs to park. The method further includes identifying a parking facility within proximity to the vehicle and a corresponding congestion level of the parking facility. The method further includes selecting a first parking model from two or more parking models based on the corresponding congestion level being closer to a first congestion range than a second congestion range. The method further includes identifying a parking spot for the vehicle within the parking facility based on the first parking model.

A vehicular automated parking system includes a camera having a field of view rearward of the vehicle. When the vehicle is parked in a parking space, with a forward vehicle parked in front of the vehicle and a rearward vehicle parked behind the vehicle, the vehicular automated parking system determines a forward limit of the parking space responsive to a driver of the vehicle driving the vehicle forward until a front end of the vehicle is close to the forward vehicle. Responsive to the determined forward limit of the parking space, and responsive to processing by an image processor of image data captured by the camera, the vehicular automated parking system controls the vehicle when the vehicle is leaving the parking space in a manner that avoids the forward vehicle parked in front of the vehicle and the rearward vehicle parked behind the vehicle.

A vehicle parking assist apparatus acquires a camera image when the vehicle stops by a non-determined parking lot and acquires feature points of a ground of an entrance of the non-determined parking lot as non-compared entrance feature points from the camera image. The vehicle parking assist apparatus determines whether the non-determined parking lot is a registered parking lot by comparing information on the non-compared entrance feature points with registered entrance feature point information. The vehicle parking assist apparatus executes a parking assist control with using the currently-acquired parking lot information and the registered parking lot information when the vehicle parking assist apparatus determines that the non-determined parking lot is the registered parking lot.
