Abstract
A method for calibrating a parking aid, which is configured to actively control a steering angle of a vehicle, by: automatically detecting a parking space with the aid of sensors and calculating a target course in light of the detected parking space. The steering angle is controlled based on the calculated target course, with a controllable actuator. The method accounts for an error by the actuator by: determining an actual course, which results from controlling according to the target course; comparing the actual course to the target course and ascertaining the error resulting from the comparison; and generating a correction parameter, which is linked to the error by a monotonic function. The correction parameter allows the actuator's behavior to be considered. Controlling the steering angle is done based on a combination of the set angle with the correction parameter. A related controller for implementing the method is also described.
