Parking aid with graphic and acoustic notification

Parking-aid system uses sensors for measuring a parking gap (1) between successive vehicles when driving past a line of parked vehicles (3), the control (4) used for processing the sensor values coupled to an output device (5), providing parking gap information for the driver via graphic and acoustic outputs. The sensors include at least one distance sensor (6) for detecting the gap and at least one path sensor (7) for measuring the gap width.
