Abstract

A method and a device for the forward parking of a motor vehicle into a perpendicular parking space, wherein the motor vehicle includes an apparatus for detecting objects in the environment of the motor vehicle. The method includes detecting an object in the environment of the motor vehicle; determining the position of the object in relation to the motor vehicle; selecting a situation-dependent parking strategy as a function of the combination of the position of the object in relation to the motor vehicle and the turn signal position “left”, “right”, or “neutral” under the assumption of a perpendicular parking space next to the detected object; and performing a parking process on the basis of the situation-dependent parking strategy.
