• Maximum�distance�to�the�row�of�parked�vehicles:�1.5�m.
Detecting�the�curb
If�a�curb�is�detected�within�the�range�of�the�ultrasonic�sensor�while�the�system�is�searching�for�a
parking�space,�the�parking�space�is�for�the�most�a�space�that�is�parallel�to�the�road.
In�the�case�of�parking�spaces�that�are�perpendicular�to�the�roadway,�the�curb�is�usually�outside�the
detection�range�of�the�ultrasonic�sensors�(range�about�4.2m).
