Title:
PARKING SUPPORT DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/135672
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A rendering device (20) for displaying a video image of a rear view from a vehicle (VM) on a display (22) displays, on top of the video image of the rear view from the vehicle (VM), a constant steering angle line (L1) which is the travel locus of the vehicle (VM) when backing up while maintaining the present steering angle. The constant steering angle line (L1) is displayed up to a position where the direction of the constant steering angle line (L1) is parallel to the parking direction of a parking slot (P) where the vehicle (VM) is to be parked. For this reason, it follows that the driver will adjust the steering angle while looking at the constant steering angle line (L1), which is displayed on the display (22) and is shown on top of the video image of the parking slot (P) rearward of the vehicle (VM), back up the vehicle (VM) so as to reliably fit the vehicle inside the parking slot (P), and easily be able to determine the steering angle necessary for the vehicle (VM) to be parallel to the parking direction of the parking slot (P). By backing up the vehicle (VM) to the position where the constant steering angle line (L1) displayed on the display (22) terminates and returning the steering angle to zero degrees, the driver can easily fit the vehicle (VM) inside the parking slot (P) with the vehicle (VM) parallel to the parking direction of the parking slot (P).
