Method of automatic parking of a car : theoretical considerations and simulation studies

The paper is concerned with the problem of automatic parking of a car. Current state of the art in self-driving cars and methods of automatic parking were discussed. For simulation studies, the kinematic bicycle model of the vehicle was assumed. A method of solving the problem of automatic parking was proposed. The idea of this method consists in planning characteristic poses of the vehicle and realization of motion between these poses using pose controller. Results of simulation research were presented and discussed, which confirmed the correctness of the approach.
