The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: "In a vehicle according to the related art, an Intelligent Parking System (SPAS) has been applied for the purpose of convenient driving, particularly, parking.
"The SPAS detects and recognizes a parking space having a predetermined size using a sensor or a camera and steers a vehicle to the parking space.
"That is, the SPAS recognizes the parking space through the sensor or the camera mounted at front, rear, and lateral sides of the vehicle, and actively controls an electronically controlled power steering system (EPS) to automatically assist the vehicle to be parked at the recognized parking space so that a driver conveniently parks the vehicle only by a brake and a transmission operation.
"The SPAS according to the related art includes a parking mode selection switch to be selected by the driver, a motor driven power steering (MDPS) for automatic steering, and a smart wheel sensor detecting a steering angle and speed of a vehicle wheel. An ultrasonic wave sensor or a camera detects and recognizes a parking space, and a driver reporting unit reports a parking or start direction to the driver through a display or sound. An electronic control unit (ECU) detects the parking or start direction, the parking space, a steering state of the vehicle wheel through the parking mode selection switch, the ultrasonic wave sensor, and the smart wheel sensor, and controls the MDPS to assist automatic steering.
In summary, the present disclosure provides a smart parking assist system and a control method thereof capable of preventing a start vehicle from colliding with an obstacle during a start process by stopping an automatic steering assist operation when a driver accidentally selects a start direction.
