Description

Parking aid
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of parking aid for being used to aid in vehicle parking.
Background technology
In order to aid in vehicle parking, disclose in the prior art a kind of for guiding vehicle to make vehicle parking to parking stall The parking aid put.For example, disclosed in flat No. 10-264839 of Japanese invention Patent Publication No a kind of automatic Lugs (parking aid), it deduces the current location of vehicle based on wheel velocity and yawrate, and according to Current vehicle position corrects steering volume relative to the offset of target trajectory, so as to guide the vehicle to parking spot.
It can be examined automatically in addition, for example disclosing one kind in Japanese invention Patent Publication No 2011-039600 The parking for measuring target parking position (its meaning is the candidate of final goal parking spot, is hereinafter referred to as " candidate position ") is auxiliary Help device.In the parking aid, it is based on for the camera all around by being arranged at vehicle from vehicle periphery feelings The overhead view image that condition is got, the image procossings such as straight-line detection processing are carried out, detect candidate position.Candidate can not detected In the case of position, the default location in overhead view image draws acquiescence frame, also, draws for supervising driver to adjust acquiescence The icon of frame position.In Japanese invention Patent Publication No 2011-039600, left and right camera is set in side mirror Deng on.
However, when aiding in vehicle parking, become by the action of machine structural parts mounted on a vehicle and position Change etc. (mechanical breakdown factor), it is possible to occur that the situation of parking auxiliary control can not be normally carried out.
For example, on vehicle, as brake apparatus, provided with being mainly used under steam and from traveling to during parking transition The running brake used, and it is mainly used in maintaining the parking brake of dead ship condition.It is special in Japanese invention Patent Laid Open in the parking aid disclosed in flat No. 10-264839, driving is entered by running brake in parking auxiliary control Deceleration and parking etc..But because any consideration is made in the braking not to parking brake in the parking aid, It is therefore possible to occur to carry out stopping in parking brake action process to aid in the situation of control.Such as acted in parking brake During if mobile vehicle, can not only consume brake apparatus (for example, abrasion and damage of brake(-holder) block), can also drag wheel Tire, causes the durability of brake apparatus to reduce.Further, since tire is towed, make parking aid in parking auxiliary control When the current vehicle position that is calculated it is different with the current vehicle position of reality, thus be possible to that vehicle can be caused to be directed to partially From the position of target parking position.
In addition, in the parking aid disclosed in Japanese invention Patent Publication No 2011-039600, Be provided with left and right camera side mirror be stowed away (closed mode) in the case of, the field range of left and right camera be possible to and The field range that design time is hoped is different.When side mirror is stowed away, in the image based on around by being obtained by camera Overhead view image is come in the case of detecting candidate position, candidate position is identified as the position different from physical location.It is assumed that In the case that the candidate position of mistake is used as final goal parking spot, vehicle will be directed to not desired Direction or position.Or the automatic detection instead of candidate position, the surrounding's image obtained by the viewing of driver side by camera, Side adjusts the position of vehicle, and in the case of carrying out sets target parking spot, the problem of same can also occur.
The content of the invention
In view of the foregoing, can avoid well because of mechanical obstacles factor it is an object of the present invention to provide one kind and The parking aid for causing parking auxiliary control to go wrong.
To reach above-mentioned purpose, the parking aid has control unit, and the target of the control unit setting vehicle is stopped Truck position, perform and guide the parking to the target parking position to aid in control on the vehicle.The control unit is performing institute State before parking auxiliary controls or in implementation procedure, to guiding the vehicle to the target parking position with the presence or absence of obstruction Mechanical obstacles factor judged, forbid the guiding to the vehicle in the case where the mechanical obstacles factor be present.
According to said structure, because parking aid is in the case where control unit judges to have mechanical obstacles factor, prohibit Only to the guiding of vehicle, it is thus possible to avoid well because mechanical obstacles factor causes parking auxiliary control to go wrong.Therefore, Parking aid can not only reduce produced problem in parking auxiliary control, additionally it is possible to accurately control vehicle.
In such a situation it is preferred to which the mechanical obstacles factor refers to the action of parking brake, the control unit is based on The parking brake action is determined, forbids the guiding to the vehicle.
In this way, parking aid can be forbidden by the way that parking brake action is determined to have into mechanical obstacles factor Guiding to vehicle, directly switched to by parking auxiliary control by the manually operated of driver's progress.Therefore, driver can enter Row is forbidden with what is guided vehicle, stops parking action of vehicle etc. and corresponds to, prevent the consumption of brake apparatus, so as to improve system The durability of dynamic device.
Additionally, it is preferred that the control unit preferably has guiding control unit, and as the parking auxiliary control, the guiding control Rotation of the portion processed based on wheel persistently calculates the current state of the vehicle, and based on the current state calculated by described in Vehicle is guided to target parking position.
In this way, the current state by persistently calculating vehicle by rotation of the guiding control unit based on wheel, can be easily The guiding to vehicle is carried out in parking auxiliary control.In addition, the current state of vehicle, such as can be to be stopped relative to target Current location and angle of inclination of the vehicle of position etc..The structure of current state is calculated using the rotation based on wheel, although Because the action of parking brake causes wheel towed, make the current state that calculates produce error possibility it is higher, still But the guiding to vehicle can easily be forbidden by control unit.Therefore parking aid is enable in parking auxiliary control In, prevent the phenomenon for misguiding vehicle because of the action of parking brake from occurring, so as to control vehicle well.
Further, the guiding control unit can use the structure that the steering only to the vehicle is aided in.
In this way, the structure aided in using steering of the guiding control unit only to vehicle, can make parking auxiliary control letter Dan Hua, so as to reduce the carrying cost that parking aid is carried on vehicle.Further, since in parking action, i.e., Driver has been made the maloperation for acting parking brake, also can easily forbid drawing vehicle by control unit Lead, it is thus possible to be easy to make driver make required correspondence.
Or the control unit can also use following structure:When determining the action of the parking brake when passing through Between, in the case where judging that the elapsed time exceedes defined stand-by time, forbid the guiding to the vehicle, in the rule In the case that the action of the parking brake is released from fixed stand-by time, continue the guiding to the vehicle.
In this way, by judging that elapsed time and stand-by time, parking aid will not be with stopping brakes by control unit Device acts and directly forbids the guiding to vehicle.So as to even making parking in the case of the larger place of the gradient stopping Brake acts, and also can continue to the guiding to vehicle.That is, parking aid is each by being corresponded in parking auxiliary control Kind of situation, Parking permitted in time brakeage thus allow for the higher parking auxiliary control of practicality.
In addition to said structure, the control unit can also use following structure:Detect the slope in place residing for the vehicle Degree, the stand-by time is changed based on the gradient detected.
So as to which parking aid, can be according to the size of the gradient and in reasonable time in parking auxiliary control Act parking brake, it is thus possible to further to carry out the higher parking auxiliary control of practicality.
In addition, the parking aid can also have photographic unit, the photographic unit is arranged in the car On the movable part of sidepiece, the side of the vehicle is shot, the control unit is based on being got by the photographic unit Surrounding image perform the parking auxiliary control, hinder moreover, following situation is determined to have the machinery by the control unit Hinder factor, so as to forbid the guiding to the vehicle, i.e. the situation is:With the movement of the movable part, the photographic unit It is not in carrying out the normal position of the parking auxiliary control.
In this way, with the movement of movable part, photographic unit be not in carrying out stopping auxiliary normal position when, forbid pair The guiding of vehicle, so that in the case where the errors present not conformed to the actual conditions is detected as target parking position, can Prevent the situation for guiding the vehicle to the errors present from occurring.In addition, carrying out the feelings of sets target parking spot in another way Similarly in this way, the another way is, instead of the automatic detection of target parking position, by scheming around the viewing of driver side under condition As or image as surrounding image after image procossing display picture, while making vehicle location and target parking position pair It is accurate.
In this case, the control unit can also be forbidden when detecting that the side door as the movable part opens Guiding to the vehicle.In addition, the control unit can also be prohibited when detecting that the side mirror as the movable part closes Only to the guiding of the vehicle.
According to the explanation with reference to accompanying drawing to following preferred embodiment, above-mentioned purpose of the invention and other purposes, Feature and advantage are definitely.

For example, when vehicle travels, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 is shown on the touch-screen 42 of guider 28 stops Car auxiliary starts button 76, and the unlatching parking based on driver aids in starting what the operation of button 76 controlled to judge parking auxiliary Whether beginning condition is set up.In addition, aiding in starting outside the operation of button 76 except start and stop car, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 is also Whether the vehicle velocity V for judging vehicle 12 can be reduced to the beginning condition for aiding in control below fixing speed as parking.At this In the case of kind, parking auxiliary can be made to start button 76 and shown on touch screen 42 when speed is reduced to below fixing speed. Or can also when vehicle 12 is close to parking lot in the cartographic information in guider 28, display parking auxiliary start by Key 76.
With the establishment of the beginning condition of parking auxiliary control, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 is obtained by camera 34 Shooting image information, navigational figure information (overhead view image) is shown based on shooting image information on touch screen 42.In addition, draw Lead image information and be not limited only to overhead view image, such as can also be each using shooting image directly displayed captured by camera 34 etc. Kind display methods.
In addition, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 shows that the target for designated vehicle 12 is stopped in navigational figure information Truck position P1 parking frame 77, indicated based on user to set target parking position P1 when vehicle 12 stops.Parking frame 77 It can be the white line that parking spot can be represented in tracking display parking lot.Further, before sets target parking spot P1, User is allowed to specify the detailed dead ship condition (car-parking model) such as parking side by side or word parking, so as to be entered according to various situations Row parking auxiliary control.In addition, target parking position P1 setting can also be applicable various methods, for example, parking auxiliary starts Processing unit 70 can not also be set automatically according to the instruction of user.
Parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 waits vehicle 12 to turn into dead ship condition and (used after sets target parking spot P1 Running brake is stopped), and the setting button 78 that shows paths on touch screen 42.Moreover, path is opened based on driver Set the operation of button 78, as shown in Fig. 2 setting by the parking spot (initial position P0) of vehicle 12 to target parking position P1 Path of navigation G.When setting path of navigation G, relative position of the vehicle 12 relative to target parking position P1 is calculated, based on this Relative position, optimal path is calculated on the plane coordinates associated with navigational figure information.Path of navigation G can include 1 Or multiple targets is moved backward back and just (returns and take turns) position P2.
Parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 by setting path of navigation G, with terminate stop setting control, automatically into by Guide the guiding control that control unit 72 is carried out.At this moment, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 is provided in plane to guiding control unit 72 The initial position P0 of path of navigation G and vehicle 12 on coordinate each information.In addition, when entering guiding control, such as It can on touch screen 42 show and guiding (not shown) starts button, the operation of guiding beginning button is opened based on driver, Perform guiding control.
In addition, after PB determination units 74 described below determine the action of parking brake, parking auxiliary start to process Portion 70 carries out defined processing.That is, in the case of travelling vehicle 12 when parking brake acts, wheel is braked device 66 (reference pictures 1) are pulled, thus brake apparatus 66 is produced consumption.Therefore, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 judges according to PB The instruction in portion 74, stopped or stopped termination/stopping processing of above-mentioned parking setting control.
In termination/stopping processing, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 can be by the setting control that stops to stop come in solution , can also be by stopping setting control of stopping except from the beginning being reset again after the action of parking brake, the weight since halfway The setting control of start and stop car.Furthermore it is possible in termination/stopping processing of parking setting control, just (parking is set the control of parking auxiliary Fixed control) termination or stopping give a warning.Specifically, for example by warning display on touch screen 42, exported by loudspeaker 44 Speech explanation and warning etc..
In addition, being acted even in performing parking brake in setting control of stopping, parking auxiliary ECU18 can also be without Termination/stopping processing.For example, it is contemplated that the larger position of the gradient is likely located to vehicle 12, before user sets path of navigation G (before parking), even if parking brake action can continue to carry out parking setting control.Thus, start stopping brake in user Also being capable of sets target parking spot P1 during device.
In the stage (after setting path of navigation G) that transition is controlled from parking setting control to guiding, in parking brake In the case of acting, due to being possible to hamper guiding control below, thus stopped and (do not start to guide control) The processing of parking auxiliary control is preferably.In this case, it can also use and be set after the action of parking brake releases Path of navigation G.So as to carry out parking auxiliary in the case where making vehicle advance again by halted state on slope road etc. Control., can also be with stopping brake in order to remain to target parking path P1 path of navigation G when using path of navigation G The action of device and forcing stops (for example, pin speed changer) vehicle 12 traveling of itself.In addition, parking auxiliary ECU18 can also Combine with the climbing function of PB systems 32, in parking brake action process can also by the operation of gas pedal come The action of parking brake is automatically terminated, so as to continue to guide control.
The guiding control of parking auxiliary control performs when parking auxiliary ECU18 guiding control unit 72 is handled. In guiding control, the path of navigation G set by guiding control unit 72 along parking auxiliary control process portion 70 is carried out to vehicle 12 Guiding.Controlled as guiding, such as calculate the current state (position and angle of inclination) of vehicle 12, calculate target steering angle θo Deng.
After control is set by parking and enters guiding control, guiding control unit 72 is according to the wheel detector 36 during driving Detection pulse (counted number of pulses) calculates the current state (position and angle of inclination) of vehicle 12.For example, guiding control unit 72 The displacement of each wheel can be continuously detected in the parking of vehicle 12 action, based on the displacement and initial position P0, calculate and (monitor out) current location on plane coordinates and the current angle of inclination relative to target parking position P1.
Moreover, the current state (position and angle of inclination) based on the vehicle 12 calculated, guiding control unit 72 is to car Whether 12 move along path of navigation G and judged, also, calculates target steering angle θo.Calculating target steering angle θoWhen, Vehicle velocity V is detected by vehicle speed sensor 38 and determines gear Ps (the i.e. forward operations of vehicle 12 of gear position sensor 40 And back operation), it thus can also identify the operating state of vehicle 12.Also, parking auxiliary ECU18 will guide control unit 72 The target steering angle θ calculatedoEPS 30 is sent to, EPS ECU52 is based on target steering angle θoPerform action.So as to car 12 can be controlled by the guiding for auxiliary 10 of stopping, and make the auto-steering of steering wheel 14.
In addition, parking auxiliary ECU18 calculates target steering angle θo, and the operation (switching to gear lever 16 is performed at any time Deng) and speed (slow down etc.) guiding.The guiding by being shown or using voice by loudspeaker 44 on touch screen 42 Exported and formed.Touch-screen 42 in addition to the guiding is shown, believe by the shooting image that also real-time display is shot by camera 43 Breath and navigational figure information.Driver can the display based on the touch-screen 42, to confirm the vehicle 12 during guiding control Driving condition.
Also, judgement of the control unit 72 also based on the action of the parking brake carried out by PB determination units 74 is guided, is come Handled as defined in carrying out.Especially when parking brake acts in guiding control, because brake apparatus 66 causes wheel It is towed, thus the current state (position and angle of inclination) of the vehicle 12 calculated by guiding control unit 72 with actually Error is there may exist between the position and angle of inclination of the vehicle 12 of action.In addition, braking dress can also occur as described above Put 66 consumption.
It is therefore preferable that guiding control unit 72 is substantially stopped the processing of above-mentioned guiding control.The termination of control is guided, Both it can immediately be carried out after the action of parking brake is determined, and the action of parking brake can also determined, passed through Regulation stand-by time T is crossed to carry out afterwards.Below, in the 1st configuration example, to being carried out immediately after judging the action of parking brake The processing for stopping guiding control illustrates, in the 2nd configuration example afterwards, to drawing by carrying out termination after stand-by time T The processing for leading control illustrates.
In the case where stopping guiding control, guiding control unit 72 stops the auto-steering done by parking auxiliary ECU18, And it is operated manually by driver.That is, although vehicle 12 have ceased guiding control, even in parking brake In the case of action, it can also travel by driver vehicle 12.In other words, the termination of parking auxiliary control refers to, abandons institute The target parking position P1 of setting, initial position P0, current location (position and the inclination angle of path of navigation G or vehicle 12 Degree) etc., still, now, the action of EPS 30 and PB systems 32 can be normally carried out.So that driver can enter one Step carries out the higher operation of the free degree.
In addition, before or after guiding control is stopped, it can on touch screen 42 show and (inform) in guiding control Alarm only, or voice alarm is exported by loudspeaker.Further, in unexpected termination guiding control, it is possible to can not be successfully It is transitioned into by the manually operated of driver's progress.Therefore parking auxiliary ECU18 can also be in specified time limit (or until operator Operation be delivered to steering wheel 14) in, enter to be about to steering wheel 14 and fix or it is difficult to rotate etc. and is simplified transient program Control.
Or guiding control unit 72 can also be stopped the processing of (interruption) guiding control.Stop guiding control such In the case of system, it can automatically save and guide the current state for controlling the vehicle 12 when stopping, path of navigation G etc., be made in parking The action of dynamic device be released from after from restarting guiding control halfway.Control unit 72 is guided to lead in the interruption of guiding control Cross the towing to wheel to judge, guiding control is switched into abort state.
In addition, the action that parking auxiliary ECU18 PB determination units 74 pass through parking brake of the reception from PB systems 32 Signal S, to judge the operating state of parking brake.In addition, PB determination units 74, can also be based on vehicle speed sensor 38 The velocity of rotation information of each wheel detected by detected vehicle velocity V, wheel detector 36, it is whether towed to wheel enter Row judges, in the case where wheel is towed, judges that parking brake is operating state.In a word, the action shape of parking brake State is not limited in the starting state of the action bars 56 (operating portion) of PB systems 32, in addition to row makes wheel in addition to car brake Driving stop various braking actions.For example, also include the temporary parking state of the vehicle 12 caused by above-mentioned climbing function. In addition, parking auxiliary ECU18 can also be without PB determination units 74, and from parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 and guide control Portion 72 directly receives the action signal S from PB systems 32.
Parking aid 10 involved by 1st configuration example, substantially takes said structure, below, shown in reference picture 4 One example of handling process illustrates its action effect.In addition, carried out below with the action with parking brake " in Only " illustrated exemplified by the processing of parking auxiliary control.
In the case where vehicle 12 is parked in illegal parking field by the driver of vehicle 12, start parking aid 10.Stop Car servicing unit ECU18 parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 makes parking auxiliary beginning button 76 show on touch screen 42, right Whether user, which presses parking auxiliary beginning button 76, is judged (step S1).Then, aid in starting button 76 when judging to stop After being opened, into step S2.
When parking aids in beginning button 76 to be pressed, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 performs parking and sets control (step Rapid S2).In parking setting control, target parking position P1 setting, path of navigation G setting are carried out successively as described above Deng.
When parking setting control is carrying out, PB determination units 74 are continued based on the action signal S from PB systems 32 It is that non-action status or operating state are judged (step S3) to parking brake.Parking auxiliary start to process 70 is judging When parking brake is operating state, into step S4, judge parking brake for non-action status when, into step S5.
In step s 4, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 carry out the termination of parking setting control (parking auxiliary control)/ Stopping is handled.For example, in the termination/stopping processing of parking setting control, forgo one's aim parking spot P1 and initial Position P0, vehicle 12 current state (position and angle of inclination), path of navigation G each information processing.In addition, in In only/stopping processing, stop because of the action of parking brake parking auxiliary control warning it is shown on touch screen 42 or Person is by the voice output of loudspeaker 44.So as to which parking auxiliary ECU18 stops parking auxiliary control, switches to what is carried out by driver It is manually operated.
In the case where parking brake is non-action status, in step s 5, judge that parking setting controls whether to terminate, If parking setting control is still continuing, step S2 is returned to.Vehicle 12 like that as noted above is in dead ship condition, guides road After being set, parking setting control terminates footpath G.At the end of parking setting control is judged, into step S6.
Parking auxiliary ECU18 enters guiding control after parking setting control terminates, start to make steering wheel 14 from turn To (step S6).In guiding controls, the current state and target steering angle θ of vehicle 12 are calculatedo, EPS 30 is sent The instruction (sending target steering angle θ o) of auto-steering, and advance and retrogressing, the system of vehicle 12 are further carried out to driver The dynamic guiding waited.So as to which vehicle 12 is guided to target parking position P1 along the thick line (path of navigation G) shown in Fig. 2.
When guiding control is carrying out, PB determination units 74 continue to judge based on the action signal S from PB systems 32 Parking brake is non-action status or operating state (step S7).Control unit 72 is guided to judge parking brake for action During state, into step S8, judge parking brake for non-action status when, into step S9.
In step s 8, identical with above-mentioned steps S4, guiding control unit 72 guides control (control of parking auxiliary) Termination/stopping processing.In termination/stopping processing of guiding control, forgo one's aim parking spot P1, initial position are carried out P0, the processing from the current state (position and angle of inclination), path of navigation G various information of vehicle.In addition, because parking is made The warning moved the action of device and stop parking auxiliary control is shown on touch screen 42 or by the voice output of loudspeaker 44.Cause This, parking aids in ECU18 to stop parking auxiliary control, switches to by the manually operated of driver's progress.
In addition, in the case where parking brake is non-action status, in step s 9, guiding control unit 72 is based on calculating The current state from vehicle, whether vehicle 12 moved along path of navigation G and reaches target parking position P1 judge. In the case where vehicle 12 is without target parking position P1 is reached, returns to step S6 and continue to guide control, in vehicle 12 In the case of reaching target parking position P1, into step S10.
Finally, in step slo, parking auxiliary ECU18 terminate the processing of parking auxiliary control, terminates to stop in vehicle Guiding in car action to vehicle 12.
It is as noted above, during using parking aid 10 involved by the 1st configuration example, because parking aids in ECU18 bases In the action of the parking brake of vehicle 12, stop (or stopping) and perform parking auxiliary control, so as to immediately by stopping Auxiliary control switches to that driver's is manually operated, therefore significantly improves the practicality of parking aid 10.It is additionally, since Parking aid 10 is simple in construction, so carrying cost can be reduced.Further, since driver can be with parking auxiliary control The termination of system and make vehicle 12 parking act stop, the consumption of brake apparatus 66 is prevented, so as to improve brake apparatus 66 Durability.
In this case, guiding control unit 72 continues to calculate the current state of vehicle 12 by the rotation based on wheel, Vehicle 12 thus can be guided in parking auxiliary control easily.In addition, calculate current shape using based on the rotation of wheel The structure of state, although because the action of parking brake makes wheel towed, so that the calculating of current state produces error Possibility is higher, but the auxiliary ECU18 that stops but can stop or stop easily parking auxiliary control.That is, it is auxiliary in parking Help in control, parking aid 10 can prevent to misguide the hair of the situation of vehicle 12 due to the action of parking brake It is raw, vehicle 12 can be controlled well.
In addition, parking aid 10 only aids in the structure of the steering of vehicle 12 using guiding control unit 72, can simplify Parking auxiliary control, further reduces the expense that parking aid 10 is arranged on vehicle 12.In parking action, even if driving The person of sailing has carried out the maloperation for acting parking brake, also can stop or stop parking auxiliary by parking auxiliary ECU18 Control, so driver can easily make necessary countermeasure.
In addition, parking aid 10 is not limited to said structure, various modifications and application can also be carried out.Example Such as, above-mentioned parking aid 10 can be applicable in MT cars.In this case, parking aid 10 uses following structure :Auto-steering in being controlled with guiding, by touch-screen 42 or loudspeaker 44, guiding carries out the switching of clutch.
In addition, carrying out auto-steering in parking aid 10, and the driving and braking to vehicle 12 are carried out automatically In the case of, preferred structure is, when detecting parking brake action, as parking aids in the termination of control, to make car for the time being 12 parkings, switch to that driver's is manually operated after this.So as to reduce because transport condition is auxiliary by stopping suddenly Control is helped to switch to situation that is manually operated and causing maloperation to occur.
【1st embodiment:2nd configuration example】
Illustrate the parking aid 10A involved by the 2nd configuration example referring to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 A, 6B.Under in addition, In the explanation in face, for the identical structure of parking aid 10 involved by the 1st configuration example or there is identical function Structure, be labeled as marking with identical in the 1st configuration example, and description is omitted.
Parking aid 10A is equipped on the vehicle 12A as MT cars.Parking aid 10A parking auxiliary ECU18A, it is identical with the ECU18 of parking auxiliary shown in Fig. 3, there is parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 and guiding control unit 72, still The structure of PB determination units 80 is different from PB determination units shown in Fig. 3 74 structure.
Specifically, parking auxiliary ECU18A uses following structure:Under the operating state of parking brake, the parking is monitored Elapsed time when brake acts, when by more than the stipulated time, stop or stop parking auxiliary control.Stop auxiliary Termination/the control process controlled is helped using the processing of the parking aid 10 involved by the 1st configuration example as standard.
Therefore, parking auxiliary ECU18 PB determination units 80 have:Time compares processing unit 82, and it is used to compare the time;Meter When portion 84, it is used for minute;Stand-by time configuration part 86, it is used to set stand-by time T (reference picture 6A and 6B).
Compare processing unit 82 after the action signal S of the parking brake from PB systems 32 is received, start timing unit 84, The minute since being received action signal S, and read as the stand-by time set by stand-by time configuration part 86 T.During parking brake is in operating state, continue minute, the elapsed time during action of parking brake (is surveyed Time in fixed) compared with the stand-by time T read, whether the elapsed time is judged more than stand-by time T. In the case of more than stand-by time T, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 or guiding control unit 72 is set to perform parking auxiliary control Termination/stopping processing.It is not above stand-by time T in the elapsed time, the feelings that the operating state of parking brake is just released from Under condition, continue parking auxiliary control.
Herein, for parking, vehicle 12A is possible to temporarily stop in the parking lot that slope road etc. has great slope (inclination) Car.In this case, in order to avoid being retreated from vehicle because of the gradient, vehicle 12A (especially MT cars) is sometimes by stopping State starts the initial stage travelled again, parking brake is in operating state and is travelled.Therefore, if detecting parking system Directly stop parking auxiliary control after moving the action of device, can cause to be difficult to effectively fill using parking auxiliary in the acclive place of tool Put.
Parking auxiliary ECU18A involved by 2nd configuration example, it is auxiliary parking is not stopped immediately after parking brake action Control is helped, but by setting stand-by time T buffer time, to improve the practicality of parking auxiliary control.That is, even if stop Brake acts, but as long as the action of parking brake is released from stand-by time T, just do not perform termination/stopping processing and Parking auxiliary control is continued executing with, thus parking auxiliary control can be also carried out in larger place of the gradient etc..
The stand-by time configuration part 86 of PB determination units 80 has the function of setting above-mentioned stand-by time T.Although treated for this Machine time T, is not particularly limited, it is preferred that the average time based on the temporary transient action for making parking brake on slope road etc. come Setting, such as 1~3 second, it is preferably set for 2 seconds or so.Stand-by time T can be set in advance in parking auxiliary as fixed value In ECU18A, or the display picture for representing stand-by time T can also be shown on touch screen 42, be become by user More set.
In addition, parking aid 10A can also use following structure:Inclination sensor 88 is carried on vehicle 12A, by Inclination sensor 88 detects the gradient (angle) in place residing for vehicle 12, and stand-by time T is changed automatically based on the angle.Example Such as, in the case where the gradient is larger, because cautiously to relaunch vehicle 12A, stand-by time T can be set it is longer, In the case of the gradient is less, due to easily relaunching vehicle 12A, stand-by time T can be set shorter.So as to Continue parking auxiliary control according to the gradient of vehicle 12A present positions.In addition, the sensor for detecting the gradient, and Inclination sensor 88 is not limited to, such as can also be acceleration transducer (G sensor) and suspension travel sensor (suspension stroke sensor)。
In addition, the judgement to parking brake operating state carried out by PB determination units 80, it is not limited to from PB systems The action signal S of system 32.For example, it is also possible to as follows:It is identical with the parking aid 10 involved by the 1st configuration example, Velocity of rotation based on the wheel detected by wheel detector 36 and the vehicle velocity V detected by vehicle speed sensor 38, to wheel Towing judged, the towed situation of wheel can be considered as parking brake be operating state situation.
In addition, parking aid 10A can also take following structure:Performing stop setting control and guiding control Before, it is in operating state first to make parking brake, by the operating state perform control, enter to be about to the elapsed time with it is standby when Between the processing compared of T.Thus, PB determination units 80 and parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 and guiding control unit 72 can also use The structure of the two-way communication of process content can be carried out.
Parking aid 10A involved by 2nd configuration example substantially takes said structure, below, to its action effect Illustrate.As parking auxiliary ECU18A processing, such as can be:It is as noted above such, in parking auxiliary control When being carrying out, situation that parking brake is acted;It is (outstanding that parking auxiliary control is performed under the operating state of parking brake It is guide control) situation.First, reference picture 6A is to when parking auxiliary control is carrying out, parking brake enters action The situation of work illustrates.
Parking auxiliary ECU18A in the start-up conditions, receives the action signal S of parking brake, based on action signal S Handled as defined in being carried out in PB determination units 80.The parking aids in ECU18A in the time point t1 shown in Fig. 6 A, based on user couple Parking auxiliary starts the operation that button 76 is made, and starts parking auxiliary control (parking setting control and guiding control).In addition, In fig. 6, for convenience of description, the non-executing state generally by auxiliary control of stopping is set to 0, and control is aided in by stopping Execution state is set to 1.
Under parking auxiliary ECU18A starting state, the time of PB determination units 80 compares the lasting monitoring of processing unit 82 and come from The action signal S of PB systems 32, judge whether parking brake acts.In the time point t2 shown in Fig. 6 A, work as detection When going out the action signal S of parking brake and being opened, the stand-by time T (reference pictures set by stand-by time configuration part 86 are set Thick line in 6A).In addition, in the case of changing stand-by time T structure using based on the gradient, stand-by time configuration part 86 The gradient is gone out by the periodic detection of inclination sensor 88 under parking auxiliary ECU18 starting state, it is regularly advance according to the gradient Calculate stand-by time T.
In addition, the unlatching (ON) of the action signal S based on parking brake, the time compares processing unit 82 and starts timing unit 84, the elapsed time is determined since the time point t2.Time compares processing unit 82 when determining the elapsed time, further confirms that action Whether signal S state, the action to parking brake are released from judging.
Time point t3 shown in left side in fig. 6, in the case of the action signal S of parking brake is pent, the time Compare processing unit 82 and judge that end time point t4s of the time point t3 than stand-by time T is short.Therefore, time-triggered protocol comparing section 82 is to stopping Car aids in start processing unit 70 and guiding control unit 72 to send the finger of the termination without parking auxiliary control/stopping processing Show, also, the time-triggered protocol comparing section 82 carries out resetting the processing such as stand-by time T, the timing for stopping timing unit 84. That is, PB determination units 80 abandon the judgement to the operating state of parking brake, parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 and guiding control Continue to carry out parking auxiliary control well in portion 72 processed.
In addition, as shown in right side in Fig. 6 A, the action signal S of parking brake is not switched to closed mode, is passing through In the case of the end time point t4 for crossing stand-by time T, the time compare processing unit 82 judge (it is determined that) parking brake for action State.Then, the time compares processing unit 82 and parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 and guiding control unit 72 is sent and stopped Aid in the instruction of termination/stopping processing of control.Thus parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 and guiding control unit 72 being capable of bases In the action of parking brake, stop or stop parking auxiliary control.
Next, reference picture 6B under the operating state of parking brake to performing parking auxiliary control (guiding controls) Situation illustrates.As described above, under parking auxiliary ECU18A starting state, persistently monitoring comes from PB systems to PB determination units 80 The action signal S of system 32.In time point t11 shown in Fig. 6 B, the action signal S based on parking brake, parking brake is judged Act.
Afterwards, the action of the monitoring of PB determination units 80 parking auxiliary start processing unit 70 and guiding control unit 72, in Fig. 6 B Shown time point t12, detect the execution (startup) of parking setting control and guiding control.In addition, in fig. 6b, in order to just In explanation, the non-executing state for guiding control is generally set to 0, and the execution state for guiding control is set to 1.
Time compare processing unit 82 set by stand-by time configuration part 86 with guiding control execution and set standby Time T (thick line in reference picture 6B).At the same time, the time compares the startup timer 84 of processing unit 82, is opened from time point t12 Begin the measure elapsed time.Moreover, the time compares processing unit 82 when determining the elapsed time, action signal S state is confirmed, and sentence Whether the action for determining parking brake is released from.
Time point t13 shown in left side in fig. 6b, in the case of the action signal S of parking brake is pent, when Between compare processing unit 82, judge that end time point t14s of the time point t13 than stand-by time T is short.Therefore, the time compares processing unit When 82 pairs of guiding control units 72 are sent without guiding the instruction of the termination controlled/stopping processing, and carrying out resetting standby Between T, stop the processing such as timing of timing unit 84.That is, PB determination units 80 abandon sentencing to the operating state of parking brake Fixed, guiding control unit 72 continues to guide control well.So as to temporarily be stopped in parking auxiliary control easily State Xia Po restarts on road.
In addition, as shown in right side in Fig. 6 B, closed mode is not switched in the action signal S of parking brake, and pass through In the case of stand-by time T end time point t14, the time compare processing unit 82 judge (it is determined that) parking brake for action shape State.Then, the time compares the instruction that processing unit 82 sends the termination/stopping processing for guiding control to guiding control unit 72. So that guiding control unit 72 can stop or stop guiding control under the operating state of parking brake.
In addition, parking auxiliary ECU18A can also be when parking brake acts, based on being examined by vehicle sensors 36 The velocity of rotation for the wheel measured and the vehicle velocity V detected by vehicle speed sensor 38, in the case of judging wheel for Condition Of Tow, Directly carry out termination/stopping processing of parking auxiliary control (guiding control).In addition, sentence before setting control of stopping is performed Required time when determining parking brake for weighting parking setting control setting in the case of operating state, can be set by and Obtained stand-by time T, parking setting is carried out in stand-by time T and controls and enters guiding control.Thus, it is possible to draw entering Lead the control same action performed shown in Fig. 6 B afterwards.Certainly, parking system is had determined that before setting control of stopping is performed In the case that dynamic device is operating state, parking auxiliary control can not also be performed.
As described above, during using parking aid 10A involved by the 2nd configuration example, by aiding in ECU18A by parking Elapsed time and stand-by time T are judged, make parking aid 10A not with the action of parking brake and immediately in Only or stopping parking auxiliary controls.So as to be stopped even in the acclive place of tool and act parking brake, also can Continue parking auxiliary control.That is, parking aid 10A is in parking auxiliary control, according to various situations in time Permissive stop brakeage, thus allow for practical control.
Further, since parking aid 10A has inclination sensor 88, it is thus possible in parking auxiliary control, root According to the size of the gradient, make the action of parking brake in reasonable time, so as to further carry out practical control. Further, parking aid 10A can also link with the climbing function of PB systems 32.For example, by the way that above-mentioned stand-by time T is set It is set to the time more than retention time of dead ship condition in climbing function, vehicle 12 can be made to carry out hill start when being travelled on the road of slope (dynamic), and restart guiding control while hill start is started.
In addition, the parking auxiliary control 10A involved by the 2nd configuration example is not limited to said structure, it is also possible to obtain each Kind variation and application examples.For example, because AT cars can also act parking brake sometimes when stopping in the larger place of the gradient, Therefore above-mentioned parking aid 10A is readily applicable to AT cars.
In addition, parking aid 10,10A, for example, to for the viewpoint that target stop position moves, can also fit For the mobile object (such as ship) in addition to vehicle 10,10A.When user sends instruction and confirmed in parking auxiliary control The device used, it is not limited only to navigation 28, additionally it is possible to (special using various indication mechanisms (LCDs) and input mechanism Button, speech input device etc.).

Figure 10 represents usual state (that is, judging in Fig. 9 flow in the case of permission auto-steering (S35 in Fig. 9)) Under display picture 200 (here also known as usual state when display picture 200a or display picture 200a).Figure 11 is represented (S31 in Fig. 9 when side door 142l, 142r are open mode:It is no) display picture 200 it is (aobvious when here also known as open for car door Show picture 200b or display picture 200b).Figure 12 represents the (S32 in Fig. 9 of side mirror 144l, 144r when being collapsed state:It is no) Display picture 200 (the display picture 200c or display picture 200c when here also known as being packed up for side mirror).
As shown in Figure 10, the display picture 200a in usual state includes the parking auxiliary icon of inactive state 210th, progress explanation bar 212, operation guiding information 214, the parking species for starting button 218a, 218b comprising auto-steering respectively Selection label 216a, 216b, point out information 220, overhead view image region 222, automatic detection button 224 and stop button 226。
In the implementation procedure of guiding control, parking auxiliary icon 210 is active, and is deepened to show, in target In the implementation procedure of parking spot setting control, parking auxiliary icon 210 is in inactive state, and shoaled display, thus, is stopped Car auxiliary icon 210 represents the development situation of parking auxiliary in this way.
Progress explanation bar 212 is used for the progress for illustrating parking auxiliary.Progress explanation bar 212 is by comprising for representing that target is stopped Truck position Pptar be in setting in " setting " as word region, comprising for representing " auxiliary " in auto-steering The region of such word, include the region composition for the word as " end " of auxiliary end that represents to stop.These areas The region corresponding from the control now carried out is shown with the color different with other regions in domain.
The action that operation guiding information 214 should be carried out to driver's transmission vehicle 10.In the example shown in Figure 10, lead to Cross and select auto-steering to start one in button 218a, 218b, auto-steering can be started, in order to transmit the information, and shown Show word as " pressing " beginning " key, stop in green inframe "." green frame " mentioned here refers in overhead view image region 222 The candidate position image 234 of display.
Species of stopping selection label 216a, 216b (it is following also known as " selection label 216a, 216b " or " label 216a, 216b ") it is used to from back parking (double parking) or word parking select the species of parking.In each label 216a, 216b Include 2 auto-steerings respectively and start button 218a, 218b.Select label 216a, 216b and beginning button 218a, 218b equal In being capable of selected state (active state).
After the beginning button 218a in left side is chosen, the candidate position corresponding with the candidate position image 234 in left side Ppc is set to target parking position Pptar, after the beginning button 218b on right side is chosen, the candidate position figure with right side As 234 corresponding candidate position Ppc are set to target parking position Pptar.
Point out information 220 and the content that should be noted that at this moment is transmitted to driver.In the example shown in Figure 4, for Before making before vehicle 110 and then stepping gas pedal, in order to supervise driver confirm around situation, and show " please directly true Recognize the situation of surrounding " as word.
Overhead view image region 222 is used to show by by handling forward image If, rear images Irr, left side side image Il And the overhead view image Ig of vehicle 110 obtained from right side side image Irt.In overhead view image region 222, expression vehicle is included 110 from vehicle image 230.
As shown in Figure 10, in overhead view image region 222, in addition to from vehicle image 230, the target as navigational figure The 234 overlapping display of guide line 232 and candidate position image.Goal directed line 232 is by being shown in vehicle 110 or from vehicle The image that the line in the front of the direction of advance of image 230 is formed, in the present embodiment in yellow.Goal directed line 232 with Used during various target stop position image (representing target parking position Pptar target parking position image etc.) alignment, its Width is identical with target parking position image 144.
Candidate position image 234 is used for the candidate (candidate position Ppc) for representing target parking position Pptar, shows respectively From the left side of vehicle image 230 and right side.Left side auto-steering start button 218a be chosen after, the time with left side Cover puts 234 corresponding candidate position Ppc and is set to target parking position Pptar, the auto-steering on right side start by After key 218b is chosen, the candidate position Ppc corresponding with the candidate position 234 on right side is set to target parking position Pptar。
Compared with Figure 11 and Figure 12 described below, in Fig. 10, shown in overhead view image region 222 White line 236 (shooting gained by camera 130f, 130rr, 130l, 130rt) is the line for dividing parking stall.
Automatic detection button 224 is used to set whether automatic detection goes out target parking position Pptar candidate (candidate position Ppc).In other words, when automatic detection button 224 is opened, ECU118 is according to left side side image Il and right side side's figure for parking auxiliary As Irt detects candidate position Ppc, and corresponding to detected candidate position Ppc show candidate position image 234 (from Dynamic detection pattern).Therefore, in overhead view image region 222, from the relative position of vehicle image 230 and candidate position image 234 Put and change.
In autosensing mode, the mode of parking auxiliary ECU118 pattern match is from side image Isd (left side side's figures As Il and right side side image Irt) in detect the characteristic of the grade of white line 236, so as to detect candidate position Ppc.Moreover, The coordinate that parking auxiliary ECU118 corresponds to the candidate position Ppc detected shows candidate position in overhead view image region 222 Image 234.Here, because camera 130l, 130rt field range are fixed, thus if clear and definite candidate position Ppc is in side Position in square image Isd, then it can determine the position of vehicle 110 and candidate position Ppc relativeness.
Therefore, it is chosen in candidate position image 234 (candidate position Ppc), when target parking position Pptar is set, Parking auxiliary ECU118 can calculate target parking position Pptar and vehicle 110 relative position.Therefore, stopped based on target Position Pptar and vehicle 110 relative position, parking auxiliary ECU118, which can be calculated, guides vehicle 110 to target parking position Put Pptar path.
In addition, when automatic detection button 224 is closed, parking auxiliary ECU118 stationary phases are for from vehicle image 230 Candidate position image 234 position, show it.So as to which user overlooks while vehicle 110 are actually driven Make candidate position image 234 with desired vehicle 110 (from vehicle image in overhead view image Ig in image-region 222 230) parking spot alignment.
In fixed display pattern, parking auxiliary ECU118 makes candidate position image 234 be shown in overhead view image region 222 In position set in advance on.Shown in overhead view image region 222 position correspondence of candidate position image 234 in vehicle The position (candidate position Ppc) that the relativeness of 110 position is fixed in advance.Further, since camera 130l, 130rt's regards Wild scope is fixed, thus the position corresponding to side image Isd in overhead view image region 222 (overhead view image Ig) is with showing The relation for showing the position of candidate position image 234 is also fixed.
Therefore, the overhead view image Ig in driver side viewing overhead view image region 222, while make candidate position image 234 with In overhead view image Ig can as candidate position Ppc position (for example, the area encompassed of white line 236) be aligned, with this When the corresponding candidate position Ppc of candidate position image 234 is set to target parking position Pptar, parking auxiliary ECU118 Relative position based on target parking position Pptar Yu vehicle 110, calculate and guide vehicle 110 to target parking position Pptar Path.
Here, (the S31 in Fig. 9 in the case where side door 142l, 142r open:It is no) or in side mirror 144l, 144r receipts (S32 in the case of rising:It is no), camera 130l, 130r field range produce deviation.In this case, camera 130l, 130rt field range can not be corresponding with the relative position in overhead view image region 222.Therefore, no matter in automatic detection mould In formula or in fixed display pattern, the guide position (target parking position in parking auxiliary ECU118 to vehicle 110 Pptar deviation can all) be produced between the actually desired parking spot of driver.That is, due to the side door as movable part 142l, 142r and side mirror 144l, 144r operating state, camera 130l, 130rt is not in normal position, hinder Guiding to vehicle.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is opened in automatic detection button 224, and it is selected in autosensing mode Under state, (especially, in S31 in the case of the step 36 in arrival Fig. 3:No or S32:In the case of no), start button 218a, 218b selection are prohibited (S36).At this moment, parking auxiliary ECU118 can also not shown in overhead view image region 222 Candidate position image 234.In this case, parking auxiliary ECU118 can also stop candidate position Ppc automatic detection.Separately Outside, it is closed in automatic detection button 224, and in the state of fixed display pattern is chosen, reaches step S36 in Fig. 3 In the case of, parking auxiliary ECU118 can show candidate position image 234 in overhead view image region 222, or can not also Show candidate position image 234.
Stop button 226 to be used to terminate parking auxiliary.
Compared with the display picture 200a (Figure 10) during usual state, the display picture 200b (figures when car door opens 11) in, word as " car door please be shut " is shown as operating guidance information 214.
In addition, though auto-steering starts button 218a, 218b as being capable of selected state (moving type in Fig. 10 State), but start button 218a, 218b in fig. 11 as can not selected state (inactive state).For inactive state Beginning button 218a, 218b, such as compared with beginning button 218a, 218b of active state, shoaled display.This is due to In the moving process of vehicle 110, forbid proceeding by auto-steering.
In addition, identical with Figure 10, species of stopping in fig. 11 selection label 216a, 216b is with being capable of selected state (active state) is shown.The reasons why so showing is, can also select to stop in the state of side door 142l, 142r opening Car type class, thus improve the convenience that user uses.
Compared with Figure 10, in fig. 11, the white line 236 shown in overhead view image region 222 is (especially left Side) it is bending.This is due to cause camera 130l field range to generate deviation because the car door 142l in left side opens.
In addition, in Figure 11 picture, can also carry out automatic detection button 224 beats opening/closing.
Display picture 200b (Figure 11) phase when open with the display picture 200a (Figure 10) during usual state and car door Compare, in the display picture 200c (Figure 12) when side mirror is packed up, " please be open down being shown as operation guiding information 214 Car mirror ", also, shown " side mirror closed mode, it is noted that " in overhead view image region 222 as pointing out information 240.
In addition, identical with Figure 11, in fig. 12, auto-steering starts button 218a, 218b can not be chosen state (inactive state) is shown, and stops species selection label 216a, 216b can be chosen state (active state) display.Separately Outside, in the display picture 200b when car door opens, it can not also show candidate position image 234 or be displayed as non-live Dynamic state.
Compared with Figure 10, in fig. 12, the white line 236 shown in overhead view image region 222 is bending.This It is due to because side mirror 144l, 144r are collapsed state, causes camera 130l, 130rt field range to generate deviation.
In addition, in Figure 12 picture, can also carry out automatic detection button 224 beats opening/closing.
During using 2 above-mentioned embodiment, with side door 142l, 142r or side mirror 144l, 144r it is (movable Portion) movement, when camera 130l, 130rt (photographic unit) are not in carrying out stopping the normal position of auxiliary, forbid to vehicle 110 guiding (reference picture 9, Figure 11 and Figure 12).Therefore, in the autosensing mode (shape that automatic detection button 224 is opened State) in, examined using the errors present different from physical location as candidate position Ppc (target parking position Pptar candidate) Measure in the case of coming, can prevent from guiding vehicle 110 to the errors present.In addition, in fixed display pattern (automatic detection 224 pent state of button) in, driver while viewing around image Is (including overhead view image Ig) while make vehicle 110 with Candidate position is similarly such in the case of being aligned.
In target parking position setting control in the 2nd embodiment, parking auxiliary ECU118 is used in carry out target Parking species selection label 216a, 216b (operation diagram picture) (Figure 10~12) display of operation in parking spot setting control.
