Abstract:
1. A parking assistant system for use in conjunction with at least one transponder attached to a vehicle, said system comprising: two stationary sensors mounted a known distance apart proximate to a particular parking space for measuring a distance between said at least one transponder and each of said two stationary sensors; triangulation means for calculating a precise location of said at least one transponder utilizing said measured distances between said at least one transponder and each of said two stationary sensors; comparison means for comparing said calculated precise location of said at least one transponder with a stored transponder location associated with a preferred parking location within said particular parking space for said vehicle; indication means for displaying one or more guidance signals indicating a direction in which said vehicle's position should be adjusted to arrive at said preferred parking location within said particular parking space for said vehicle; and park indicator means for displaying a signal indicating that said calculated precise location of said at least one transponder is substantially equal to a preferred parking location within said particular parking space for said vehicle.
