ABSTRACT:
A vehicle positioning apparatus includes a projection unit mounted above a parking position in a garage or similar enclosure, and having a projector which will project a beam of visible light downwardly onto the parking position. A detection unit is positioned separately from the projection unit, and will detect a specific triggering event in order to activate the projector to emit the lightbeam. The detection unit may include a switch which is actuated upon movement of a garage door to an open position, a motion detector which actuates the projector upon detection of the movement of a vehicle towards the parking position, or an infrared beam positioned to be broken upon movement of a vehicle towards the parking position.
