How to Parallel Park Using an Electromagnetic Parking Sensor

The electromagnetic parking sensor will send out a signal in a magnetic field. This magnetic field will read the objects around the vehicle with the car parking sensor. It will be able to tell the driver how close they come to an object in their path. The electromagnetic parking sensor from www.parkingdynamics.co.uk offers a front and rear parking sensor. The reverse parking sensor has three zones. In the three zones the parking sensor tells the driver when they get closer to an object or need to stop before damage occurs.

The front parking sensor will also determine when the driver will need to stop before hitting something ahead of them. The front parking sensor only has two zones. So now you might ask how to parallel park using these electromagnetic parking sensors. 

You know that you must pull up alongside the car in the space in front of the one you want. You should pull up until your passenger window is about halfway between the other car’s side mirror. Then you start to back up, and slowly turn the wheel. You are going to be in almost a 45 degree angle with the curb when your car reaches the halfway mark at the bumper. In other words the bumper of the car in front is out your passenger window. Typically the reverse parking aid will tell you that you are close to the curb behind you, and it could be signalling you to stop. This is good. At this point you start to turn the wheel in the other direction to swing the back end out and move the front in end. This is where the electromagnetic parking sensor or the front parking sensor comes in. You want to be close to the vehicle in front of you, but you want your front bumper to miss it. By using the signals of the front parking senor you can tell if you are to close and need to reposition.

Once the front bumper is in the parking spot you still have to be cautious of the rear bumper of your car and the car behind you.  The reverse parking aid will tell you if you are too close to the car behind you as you straighten out the car. You may also find that you need to pull forward to get in the space straight, which is another instance for the front parking sensor to read your location. 

The electromagnetic parking sensor allows you to park without causing damage when you parallel park.
