Abstract:
This paper explores the parking assist system technology and how it has evolved over the years. It investigates the different types of subsystems and components that go into this small, yet complex system inside a vehicle and why this technology is needed. The system decomposition examines how everything is linked together and why all the subsystems and components are necessary for the system to function. The test and verification consider current test methods and explore existing equipment and software, especially for these cases. After discussing potential system requirements, a systems approach inclusive of both CATWOE (Customer, Actor, Transformation, World View, Owner, Environment) analysis and Systemigram methods is used to map out and get an overview of the system and its stakeholders. This paper presents a new approach to the way of looking at the parking assist system because taking all stakeholders and looking at the bigger picture is not considered in common practice. In a common analytical approach, engineers tend to focus on a separate part of the system without considering its interactions with the environment. Hence, looking at this problem from a systemic perspective is novel and constructive for this industry in the future.
