A method for supporting a process of coupling a transportation vehicle to a trailer wherein a position of a coupling element on the trailer is detected by a trailer coupling assistant and the transportation vehicle is at least partly autonomously maneuvered into a target position in which a trailer coupling of the transportation vehicle is disposed in a specified position for coupling to the coupling element on the trailer, wherein a rearward monitoring region of the transportation vehicle is monitored by a parking aid during the maneuvering process. The parking aid is operated in a standard mode in response to the trailer coupling assistant being deactivated and the parking aid is operated in a coupling mode in which obstacle warnings relating to the rearward region are output by the parking aid differently from in the standard mode in response to the trailer coupling assistant being activated.

Method and system for supporting a coupling operation of a transportation vehicle to a trailer

A method and a device for the forward parking of a motor vehicle into a perpendicular parking space, wherein the motor vehicle includes an apparatus for detecting objects in the environment of the motor vehicle. The method includes detecting an object in the environment of the motor vehicle; determining the position of the object in relation to the motor vehicle; selecting a situation-dependent parking strategy as a function of the combination of the position of the object in relation to the motor vehicle and the turn signal position 'left', 'right', or &#x201c;neutral&#x201d; under the assumption of a perpendicular parking space next to the detected object; and performing a parking process on the basis of the situation-dependent parking strategy.
