Intelligent Parking Assist System
- Intelligent Parking Assist System
Intelligent Parking Assist System (IPAS) is a technology being developed by Toyota to assist drivers in parking their vehicle. It was first deployed on the Prius Hybrid in 2003.
Detectors
Driver intervention is not required as the system will estimate the size of the lot and maneuver the vehicle appropriately. This is done by an onboard computer which uses a camera built into the forward and rear of the car. Sensors located at similar locations detect the proximity of nearby vehicles.
Display
The dashboard will display an image of the lot, the driver will determine the exact position that the vehicle in the lot via the arrows which will appear on the screen. Using the arrows, the user sets the location of the vehicle in the lot. When satisfied, the user press the "Set" button, which will activate the IPAS.
Development
Presently in infant stages, the system has difficulty detecting objects, including cats, baby prams and pedestrians. Secondly when the driver activates the system in a too small a lot, the system constantly flashes warning signals to inform the user of the danger of hitting the vehicle. User assistance is required in such situations.
