Patent ID: 6948729

Claim:
A method for managing slot parking of a vehicle ( 1 ) with respect to immediate surroundings and obstacles, the method comprising: a locking phase ( 23 , 25 ); and a reverse-locking phase ( 26 , 27 ), said locking phase and said reverse-locking phase using measurement sensors ( 36 ) for measuring distance, orientation and vehicle speed to evaluate ( 10 ) a space available ( 2 ) with respect to the immediate surroundings ( 3 ) to perform the locking and reverse-locking phase by operating on the vehicle speed, a vehicle direction of travel and a relative lock of wheels of the vehicle, wherein, retrieving input data originating from the measurement sensors ( 36 ) to obtain quantitative input values, translating at least some of the quantitative input values into gradual qualitative input values, on a basis of qualitative rules, determining operating instructions that provide gradual qualitative output data and quantitative output data, transforming the gradual qualitative output data into quantitative output data, and controlling actuators of the vehicle ( 1 ) as a function of the quantitative output data.
