Abstract
This paper proposes a simple system to assist a driver in parking manoeuvre. The system consists of an obstacle sensor, a resisitance controller of steering wheel and a computer system. The obstacle sensor uses the light section method with a CCD camera and a laser scanner. The on-board-computer calculates optimum steering angles and control signals for the controller. The controller makes some resistnace force if the driver rotates the wheel not to the desired direction. This paper presents the composition of the system and and some experimental results of the sensor.
