Abstract
A vehicle control system includes at least one detection device configured to capture detection data and a controller. The controller identifies a parking space for a vehicle in an operating area based on the detection data and identifies a travel path of the vehicle from a current position to a target position aligning the vehicle with the parking space. In response to the travel path, the controller calculates a travel zone occupied by the vehicle traversing the travel path and determines at least one viewing zone proximate to the travel zone. The controller further determines a location of a user based on the detection data and controls a navigation routine of the vehicle along the travel path in response to the location of the user relative to the at least one viewing zone.
