Abstract:
1. A method for executing an at least semi-autonomous parking process of a vehicle using a parking assistance system, the method comprising: sensing ambient conditions of the vehicle as the vehicle travels past a potential parking space using and ultra-sonic sensor; and determining one parking path, using a control and evaluation unit, as a function of the ambient conditions, of the parking space, and at least one of: a lock angle of a steering wheel of the vehicle, a length of the vehicle, a width of the vehicle, a height of the vehicle, and a ground clearance of the vehicle, wherein the ambient conditions comprise at least one obstacle which is external to the parking space and does not directly bound the parking space, and wherein the at least one obstacle is detected as near to the vehicle and is taken into account in the determination of the parking path using the control and evaluation unit, wherein a first manoeuvre is executed with an autonomous steering intervention determined using the control and evaluation unit in terms of a corresponding profile as a function of the obstacle, and wherein a second manoeuvre is executed with the autonomous steering intervention determined using the control and evaluation unit in terms of a corresponding profile as a function of the obstacle and the first manoeuvre.
