Parkwise Parking practice simulator

Training sequence · Steps 1 & 2

Choose a vehicle and a parking maneuver

The simulation uses a kinematic single-track (Ackermann) model in real meters. Vehicle length, wheelbase and maximum wheel angle change the maneuver noticeably — just as they do in a real car.

Task

In training mode the software never touches the steering. There is no ideal line and no automatic correction.

      Attempt comparison

      Every value is a measured quantity. There is deliberately no score whose calculation you cannot follow.

      Mouse & touch

      • Turn the steering wheel with the mouse or a finger — it stays where you let go.
      • The mouse wheel over the steering wheel adjusts in 10° steps.
      • Press and hold the throttle and brake pads.
      • Chase camera: drag to orbit around the car, mouse wheel zooms.
      • Driver view: drag to turn your head.

      Physics

      Fixed step of 1/120 s with exact arc integration. The same starting position and the same inputs always produce the same path — at 30 FPS just as at 144 FPS.
