A measurement device installed in motor vehicles (5) for measuring parking spaces by using contactless spacing/distance sensors (6). For measuring the spacing of objects positioned laterally from the vehicle (5). A measurement signal analysis/evaluation un...

The method involves acquiring ambient data, computing the dimensions of a defined area (1), using the acquired ambient data and assessing the suitability of the area as a parking space using the computed dimensions and known, vehicle-dependent reference va...

A sensor (4) on a motor vehicle (8) detects distance covered. A range sensor (1) in the area of the motor vehicle's side flank monitors obstructions along the side. A memory unit stores position data for an obstruction detected in the immediate vicinity of...

The arrangement has at least one detector of the distance to an obstruction and a unit for evaluating detector data and generating a warning for the driver depending on the distance between the vehicle and the obstruction. A memory unit stores the dimensio...

Parking-aid system uses sensors for measuring a parking gap (1) between successive vehicles when driving past a line of parked vehicles (3), the control (4) used for processing the sensor values coupled to an output device (5), providing parking gap inform...

The vehicle (10) may have four proximity sensors (12-15) on its end. The distances (a) between the first and second (b) between the second and third and (c) between the third and fourth are all different. Signals from the sensors are passed to a control ci...

The method involves setting the distance measurement sensors to a first sensitivity equal to/greater than normal sensitivity, activating the sensors, disconnecting and setting to normal sensitivity any sensors receiving a reflected signal, assessing the re...

The device has at least one transmitter mounted on the vehicle exterior for a transmission signal radiated at least approximately perpendicularly to the vehicle's longitudinal axis and limited to a small angular range and an associated receiver for the ref...
