Disclosed herein are a smart parking assist system and a control method thereof in which a plurality of parking modes are prepared according to driving skill levels of drivers so as to differently set the size of a margin considered in recognition of a parking space or setting of a parking path and to prevent deviation of a final parking position due to driving skill level differences among drivers. The smart parking assist system includes an input unit receiving selection of one of parking modes according to driving skill levels, from a user, a parking mode switching unit, when one of parking modes according to driving skill levels is input through the interface, switching the parking mode of the vehicle to the input parking mode, and a margin set unit to set margins to parameters regarding parking space recognition, parking path setting, and parking control of the vehicle according to the switched parking mode.

Smart parking assist system of vehicle and control method thereof

A method for mapping surroundings of a vehicle, objects in the surroundings of the vehicle being detected with the aid of sensors and particular detected objects being described by two coordinate points and also by a position fuzziness assigned to the particular coordinate point, the coordinate points and the position fuzziness values being stored in an interface in the form of data which may be accessed by driver assistance systems of the vehicle. A method is also described for ascertaining the collision probability of a vehicle with an object, in which the surroundings of the vehicle are initially mapped using the method for mapping the surroundings of a vehicle, a travel path to be traveled by the vehicle is ascertained in a subsequent step, and the degree of overlap between the object and the travel path and also the collision probability are finally determined, taking the position fuzziness into account.

Method for mapping the surroundings of a vehicle

A vehicle with an accident prevention system is disclosed. The vehicle also has a foot brake for stopping the vehicle. The system includes a sensor arrangement for sensing an object behind a rear end of the vehicle that generates an object recognition signal when it senses an object within range behind the vehicle. The sensor arrangement includes passive IR sensors or reflected pulse sensors such as sonar or radar sensors on the rear end. A controller generates an accident prevention response signal on receiving an object recognition signal from the sensor arrangement. A brake applicator is operatively coupled to the brake to stop the vehicle when the controller generates a response signal. Conveniently the system includes an alarm for sounding an alarm signal. A method for preventing an accident where a vehicle which is reversing at low speed collides with a person is also disclosed.

Accident prevention system and a vehicle including the accident prevention system

The invention relates to a method of replacing a defective sensor (100) of a surveillance system for monitoring in particular the pressure of the wheels of a vehicle (V) of the type of that comprising: - wireless sensors (100) disposed in each wheel and a receiver; a unique identifier number being assigned to each sensor (100) thus making it possible for the receiver to identify the signal. This method is noteworthy in that it consists in: removing the defective sensor (100); identifying and logging the unique identifier number of the defective sensor (100); identifying and logging the communication protocol used on the vehicle; assigning said unique identifier number to a new virgin sensor (200, 200') with neither assigned communication protocol nor assigned identifier number and simultaneously; programming the new sensor (200, 200') so that it utilizes said communication protocol. The invention also relates to the device D and the sensor 200 making it possible to implement same. Applications: detection of data available inside the wheels of a vehicle.

Offenbart ist eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Ermittlung der Sensorpositionen (VL, VR, HR, HL) von Sensoreinheiten (PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4) eines Fahrerassistenzsystems, insbesondere Einparkhilfesystems eines Fahrzeugs (FZ). Dabei werden die Sensoreinheiten in Serie miteinander und mit einer zentralen Steuer- und Auswerteeinheit (STE) fur einen Datenaustausch verbunden, wobei der Datendurchgang durch eine Sensoreinheit in einen Ausgangszustand gesperrt ist. Ferner wird eine Sensoreinheit durch Zuweisen einer neuen, individuellen Identitatskennung zu dieser Sensoreinheit durch die zentrale Steuer- und Auswerteeinheit identifiziert. Schlieslich wird die Sperre des Datendurchgangs durch eine identifizierte Sensoreinheit aufgehoben, um eine Datenverbindung zur nachsten Sensoreinheit zu schaffen, um diese ebenso zu identifizieren bzw. dieser eine individuelle Identitatskennung zuzuweisen.

Disclosed are a device and a method for determining the sensor positions (VL, VR, HR, HL) of sensor units (PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4) of a driver assistance system, especially a parking aid system of a vehicle (FZ). The sensor units are interconnected in series while being connected to a central control and evaluation unit (STE) for exchanging data, data transfer through a sensor unit being blocked in an initial state. Furthermore, a sensor unit is identified by the central control and evaluation unit by assigning a new, individual identifier to said sensor unit. The blocked data transfer through the identified sensor unit is finally cancelled to establish a data connection to the next sensor unit in order for said next sensor unit to be identified as well or be assigned an individual identifier.

Die vorliegende Erfindung eignet sich besonders fur Geschwindigkeiten, die kleiner oder gleich der Schrittgeschwindigkeit sind. Den vollen Nutzen im Hinblick auf die Warnfunktion bringt das System vor allem bei Einparkvorgangen oder in Situationen, in denen es darauf ankommt, ein Fahrzeug auf eng begrenztem Verkehrsraum sicher zu bewegen.

The invention relates to a method for avoiding collisions of vehicles (1) with objects using sensor systems (4) for measuring distance with the following methods steps: a) measurement of the distance between objects (7) which are arranged outside the vehicle (1) and sensors (4) which are arranged on the vehicle; b) determination of the travel path on the basis of the current steering direction (2) of the vehicle (1); c) determination of whether the vehicle (1) will collide with an object (7) detected by the sensors (4) as a result of the travel path predefined by the steering direction (2); d) displaying in the vehicle (1) whether the vehicle (1) will collide with an object which is detected by the sensors (4) if a specific travel path is maintained. The present invention is particularly suitable for speeds which are lower or equal to walking pace. The system provides the full benefit with regard to the warning function especially during parking manoeuvres or in situations in which it is important to move a vehicle safely in a highly restricted traffic space.
