Parallel Parking Part 2: How it Works - Aceable 360

Let's look at the science behind Parallel Parking!
When you pull up to the first stopping point, look to the front of the car. This mechanism is called the “Ackermann Steering Linkage.” Invented in 1817, this mechanism turns your front tires at slightly different angles, allowing your tires to circle a common point. Notice when you turn the wheels, the trajectory of each tire will always stay on track!

Now take a look at the perpendicular axis of your tires. If you follow the axis of your front tires as you turn the wheel, you’ll notice where the front tires axis meets the rear tires axis moves closer to your car. This convergence point is the pivot point of your car.

Watch how your car circles this point as you back up. Stop when your front tires are aligned with the bumper of the front car.

Now watch the perpendicular axis of your front tires change as you rotate your steering wheel to the left. On your left you will see your new pivot point for backing up in the other direction

Now when you back up, your car will circle this new pivot point. Once you’re in, you can line it up nice and snug!

Intimidated by parallel parking? Don't be! Aceable guides you through an interactive, 360 experience that makes parallel parking much more clear cut.
