Embodiment Construction

[0026] The embodiments described in detail below are preferred embodiments of the invention.

[0027] Here, the driving of motor vehicles into or through the car wash line takes place autonomously. That is to say, the driver can leave the vehicle and the motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car, is driven through the washing line fully automatically. Alternatively, the driver can sit in the motor vehicle and let the vehicle drive itself through the car wash line.

[0028] A car wash line here refers to any type of car wash installation in which motor vehicles are washed and possibly dried. As mentioned above, a car wash line in which the vehicle is stationary during the washing process and possibly drying, a car wash line in which the vehicle is always in motion during the washing process and / or drying process, or where the motor vehicle is only driven from the washing position to drying after washing The car wash line in the location belongs to this. In general, the me...

Abstract

A method for autonomously driving a motor vehicle (1) in a car wash (2) as well as a corresponding car wash is proposed in order to enhance the comfort and safety when autonomously driving through the car wash. The position and the orientation of the motor vehicle are detected by a sensor system (3 to 5 and 10 to 15) of the car wash (2) and transmitted to the motor vehicle(1). This makes it possible to automatically enter and move the vehicle onward in a car wash.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for autonomously driving a motor vehicle on a car washing line. In addition, the invention relates to a car wash line designed to allow vehicles to run autonomously thereon. Background technique [0002] Car wash lines for motor vehicles are becoming more and more popular because the motor vehicle can be cleaned completely and automatically from the outside in a relatively short period of time. At this point, the driver himself does not need to intervene in the cleaning process. [0003] There are various car wash lines. In a car wash line, the driver of the vehicle drives into the car wash line, parks the vehicle, leaves the vehicle if necessary, the washing process and subsequent drying process begins, and the driver drives out of the car wash line at the end. In another car washing line, the vehicle is automatically pulled from the washing room into the drying room by drag chains, wherein the vehicle must be in n...
