Full title and description
Intelligent transport systems — Assisted parking system (APS) — Performance requirements and test procedures. This International Standard specifies minimum functionality, performance criteria and structured test procedures for APS on light‑duty vehicles (passenger cars, pick‑ups, light vans and SUVs). It covers detection of parking spaces, calculation of parking trajectories and lateral control during parking manoeuvres, plus failure indication and driver information strategy.
Abstract
ISO 16787:2017 defines the expected behaviour and measurable performance of Assisted Parking Systems (APS). The standard focuses on lateral control (steering) during parking manoeuvres, slot detection (between vehicles or marked spaces), use of object‑detection sensors and vehicle network inputs, and sets out test conditions and procedures to verify compliance. It does not address heavy commercial vehicles, vehicles with trailers or longitudinal control as a primary requirement.

Scope
Applies to Assisted Parking Systems installed on light‑duty vehicles. The standard establishes minimum functional requirements the driver can expect (slot detection, trajectory planning, lateral control) and specifies performance tests and failure‑indication requirements. It is intended to support system design, verification and conformance testing for APS while leaving specific display/information formats to manufacturers. Heavy commercial vehicles, motorcycles and vehicles with trailers are excluded.
Key topics and requirements
- Definitions of APS types and operating modes (e.g., slot search, assisted parking, driver takeover conditions).
- Minimum functionality: detection of suitable parking slots (between vehicles or marked lines), environment sensing and mapping, trajectory calculation and lateral steering commands.
- Performance criteria: accuracy of slot detection, end‑position tolerances, lateral control performance and supported operation speeds for safe manoeuvres.
- Failure management and driver information strategy: required warnings (visual/audible), system abort conditions and handover behavior when driver intervention occurs.
- Structured test procedures: test objects, ambient/test conditions, slot recognition tests, end‑position verification and supported speed tests for repeatable performance evaluation.
Typical use and users
Used by automotive OEMs, Tier‑1 suppliers, ADAS/controls engineers, test laboratories and certification bodies to specify, develop and validate APS functionality. Also referenced by safety engineers, HMI designers and procurement/regulatory teams to define acceptance criteria for parking assistance features.
Related standards
APS described in ISO 16787 is an extension of parking/obstacle‑detection systems and references related work in intelligent transport systems (examples include ISO 17386 and ISO 22840). The standard was developed under ISO/TC 204 (Intelligent transport systems). Implementers often consider these related standards when designing sensor/obstacle detection and human‑machine interaction aspects.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 16787:2017 is an International Standard that specifies performance requirements and test procedures for Assisted Parking Systems (APS) on light‑duty vehicles.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers minimum APS functions (slot detection, trajectory calculation, lateral steering control), performance criteria, failure indication and structured test procedures to evaluate system behaviour under defined conditions. It does not primarily address longitudinal control, heavy vehicles or trailers.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Automotive OEMs, suppliers of steering/controllers and sensor systems, test labs, certification bodies, safety engineers and HMI designers use ISO 16787 when specifying, developing or validating APS functionality.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The 2017 edition (Edition 2) is the current published version and was confirmed by ISO in a 2023 review; it replaced the withdrawn 2016 edition. Users should check the ISO catalogue for any newer revisions or amendments.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: ISO 16787 sits within the ISO/TC 204 suite of Intelligent Transport Systems standards and complements related ISO documents addressing parking assistance and obstacle detection (for example ISO 17386 and ISO 22840).
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Assisted parking system, APS, parking manoeuvre, lateral control, trajectory planning, slot detection, test procedures, performance requirements, ADAS, ITS.
