Abstract

The present invention relates to a method performed by a vehicle tow bar control system (100) and a vehicle tow bar control system (100) for controlling the position of a tow bar (310) of a vehicle (270) during parking, the tow bar (310) capable of Relative to the vehicle (270) moving between an extended position and a retracted position, the method includes receiving a parking activity input, sensing the position of a tow bar (310), transmitting a notification signal for notifying a driver of the vehicle (270) to tow the bar ( 310) position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a vehicle tow bar control system for controlling the position of a vehicle's tow bar during parking. Background technique [0002] In the applicant's prior art document EP2746137A1 a driver assistance system is disclosed which enables automatic parking of a vehicle in a parking lot and performs this task using information about the surrounding environment, such as other parked vehicles in the parking area, Moving vehicles, moving or stationary objects, animals, other obstacles or guiding devices. One or more sensors, such as radar, lidar, infrared cameras and / or ultrasonic sensors, etc., can be used to determine information about the surroundings. In this regard, the driving assistance system may be referred to as a parking assistance system. [0003] In the prior art it is known to use a tow bar which is arranged on the vehicle and whose length and pivot position is adjustably controllable from within the v...
