Abstract: When there are a plurality of routes to one parking space, automatic parking cannot be performed on a route with short parking time. A route candidate generation unit 301 changes a reference vehicle speed and a route shape, and searches for a route from a parking start position to a parking target position. The route passage time calculation unit 302 calculates, for each route candidate, the time required to pass through the route based on the reference vehicle speed and the length of the route. A state switching time calculation unit 303 calculates, for each route candidate, the time required for switching between forward and backward movements of a vehicle, and the time required to change steering to a predetermined steering angle in a state where the vehicle is stopped. A route selection processing unit 305 selects a specific route, for example, a route with short parking time, from a generated routes based on route passage time.

Abstract: In the invention, in automatic parking, a route from a parking start position to a target parking position is calculated prior to the start of parking. However, there are cases where an external environment recognition device cannot detect an obstacle at a distant or blind spot. In such a case, smooth parking is hindered when the vehicle is actually automatically parked. In the invention, in Step S1101, the vehicle is virtually moved from a parking start position 1201 in the direction of a turning position, and a turning position 1206 is calculated on a parking route 1205. In Step S1103, a preliminary route to a target parking position 1207 when the vehicle is turned back at the turning position 1206 is calculated. In the next Step S1104, it is determined whether the preliminary route can be generated, and when the preliminary route satisfies a predetermined condition, the route calculated by a candidate route calculation unit 501 is adopted as an automatic parking route.

Abstract: Unfortunately, even when a new area, which cannot be recognized from the parking start position, is detected in the surrounding area as the vehicle travels on the parking route, the new area cannot be used effectively as the parking route. In step S304, when there is an area for extending the parking route in the newly detected area, the route is determined to be extensible. In step S305, it is determined whether the vehicle can be parked with one turnabout without extending the route, and when it is determined that the vehicle cannot be parked with one turnabout, the process proceeds to step S307 to perform the route extension process. When the posture of the vehicle at the turning point does not exceed a predetermined value in step S306, the process also proceeds to step S307.

Abstract: A host lane environment recognition unit acquires an operation of a target vehicle traveling in a host lane and a road environment. An adjacent lane environment recognition unit acquires operation of vehicles traveling in an adjacent lane and a road environment. A lane changeable space determination unit determines whether the host vehicle can change lanes using road environment information of the adjacent lane. A lane change control unit determines whether the target vehicle traveling in the host lane is allowed to change lanes, based on the operation of the target vehicle and the adjacent vehicle traveling in their lanes. The lane change control unit causes the host vehicle to change lanes based on determining whether the host vehicle can change lanes in the adjacent lane by the lane changeable space determination unit and whether or not the target vehicle is allowed to change lanes.

The parking assistance device acquires information on an entrance width of a frame entrance of the parking frame and information on a passage width of a passage, and calculates a minimum projection amount wm in a passage width direction of a vehicle 220 from the parking frame 203 to the passage 205 when a vehicle corner on a front side of the vehicle in an approach direction to the parking frame and on a first side in a vehicle width direction is located at the entrance end on the first side of the parking frame in the frame width direction, and when the vehicle is disposed at a position where the vehicle side part on a second side of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction is in contact with the entrance end on the second side of the parking frame in the frame width direction.

Abstract: A steering angular acceleration becomes steep in a transition curve section, and sudden control is required for steering follow-up control, so that there is a problem that a steering wheel behavior at the time of steering control is suddenly changed. In the straight section 710a, the steering angle does not change and remains at zero. In a transition curve section 711a (steering angle increasing section), the steering angle is corrected to a section 702 where the steering angle exceeds a target steering angle after a section 701 where the steering angle is below the target steering angle. In the arc section 712, the steering angle maintains a constant angle. In a transition curve section 711b (steering angle decreasing section), the steering angle is corrected to a section 704 where a steering angle is below a target steering angle after a section 703 where the steering angle exceeds the target steering angle. In the straight section 710b, the steering angle does not change and remains at zero.
