Parking Assist System is a system with sensors that are mounted on a vehicle to alert the driver of any obstacle while driving or parking.

This technology is based on the usage of two types of signals: ultrasonic or electromagnetic signals.

These systems that use ultrasonic signals have ultrasonic proximity detectors integrated into sensors that are mounted on the bumper fascias(rear /front) and measure the distances to surrounding objects.

The acoustic pulses are measured with a control unit on the return interval of each signal that is reflected.

This way the distances to the objects in the environment are measured and calculated and acoustic tones are used to warn the driver.

The different frequencies of the acoustic tones indicate how near or far the object is, faster tones for proximity and continuous for a predefined minimum distance.

These systems have included LCD readouts or even vehicle pictogram displayed on the infotainment screen to allow visualization of objects as colored blocks.

When the reverse gear is selected the rear sensors are activated to enable you to park safely, even rear back-up camera can be used to visualize the rear part of the vehicle.

Ultrasonic parking systems use sound wave reflection and have some minor lacks because some small or flat objects that do not reflect sound can be missed and provoke damage to the vehicle.

To eliminate any blind spots electromagnetic parking sensors were introduced. This kind of sensors uses back-up cameras also and assure visualization of objects along with the acoustic signals.

Extra options as blind spot sensors and cross-traffic alerts are often included making even more effective the parking assist system.

This forward-facing sensor system will warn the driver of any object placed in front of the vehicle when trying to park with the front of the car avoiding any kind of damage to the vehicle.

The dual alerts included will enable the driver to be conscientious of the surroundings by receiving visual and audio warnings.

The presence of obstacles in the detection zone will alert the driver with pulsing beeps and lights.

When the obstacle is not in the reach zone of the sensor it will not emit alerting sounds or when the speed of the vehicle is above 10 mph to not incommode the driver with annoying beeps.

• really affordable
• has visual and audio alerts
• the alert will turn off if the speed is higher than 10 mph
• has an on/of switch for sensors
• the display is very accurate showing in inches the distance
• the distance to detect objects is 6 feet and at 30 inches will start beeping

Cons

• can be used only for forward-facing parking
• if a sensor is damaged and needs replacement is expensive to buy separately
• can have blind spots
• sometimes a manual turn off of sensors may be needed
• sometimes can be slow in detecting objects
• in the traffic stop and go the alarm can be really annoying and is better to use the on/of button
