Abstract
A method and a device for planning a path when parking a vehicle () are described, in which a path () which comprises a first and second path arc () is calculated on the basis of the geometry of a parking space () and a vehicle position relative to this parking space (). According to the invention, at first a minimum appropriate first path arc () of the path () is calculated in order to reach a starting position as early as possible, and subsequently a possible larger first path arc () of the path () is preferably calculated as a function of an actual stopping position () of the vehicle (). Furthermore, a driving assistance device for carrying out the method is described, as well as a computer program product which causes a microprocessor with associated storage means to carry out the method.
