Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2001525285
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a maneuvering assistance system for automotive vehicles and a method of maneuvering automotive vehicles which permit a simple and safe maneuvering of the automotive vehicle particularly during a parking procedure. The present invention is especially advantageous when the automotive vehicle needs to be maneuvered, for example, on a steep positive or negative gradient. According to the present invention, a preselected or adjustable maneuvering speed is chosen such that the driver is not surprised by unwanted reactions of the automotive vehicle. The present invention especially comprises an accelerator pedal sensor [(5)] for detecting an accelerator pedal position [(alpha)] and a device for determining a speed [(vref)] of the vehicle. By using values pertaining to the accelerator pedal position [(alpha)], to the accelerator pedal depression speed [({dot over (alpha)})], and the vehicle speed [(vref)], a control unit [(4)] determines whether the vehicle is in a maneuvering or parking condition, in order to accordingly actuate an engine [(6)] or a brake control system [(3)] so that the vehicle [(1)] is moved at a desired maneuvering speed.
