Abstract
A method and apparatus that determine parking feasibility are provided. The method includes determining a charging pad location based on information received from sensors or the charging pad, generating a path function corresponding to a path from a vehicle position to the charging pad location, determining whether a vehicle is within a parking maneuver feasibility region by comparing values of the generated path function, a minimum turning radius of the vehicle, and a maximum steering angle rate of the vehicle, and moving the vehicle to the charging pad location if the vehicle is in the parking maneuver feasibility region.
