Abstract:
1. A parking pilot system, installed in a vehicle and comprising a display arranged inside said vehicle and presenting images to a driver; at least one image sensor arranged in a front portion of said vehicle and capturing images ahead of said vehicle; at least one speed sensor detecting a speed of said vehicle; an electronic control unit coupled to said display, said image sensor and said speed sensor, processing images captured by said image sensor to define an intended parking position on said display, working out coordinates of a current position and said intended parking position from images captured by said image sensor and a velocity detected by said speed sensor, calculating an initial parking position, and presenting on said display a forward pilot track extending from said current position through said initial parking position to said intended parking position to park said vehicle directly or presenting on said display a forward pilot track extending from said current position to said initial parking position to guide said driver to drive said vehicle to an optimized initial position for backing said vehicle; wherein said electronic control unit supports a on-street parking mode and a garage-parking mode; said garage-parking mode is a head-in parking mode; and wherein when said head-in parking mode is adopted, said electronic control unit uses one set of following equations to calculate said initial parking positions: wherein R
