Abstract: A parking assist apparatus includes an initial traveling locus calculating means for calculating an initial traveling locus, a new traveling locus calculating means for calculating a new traveling locus when a deviation amount of the present vehicle position from a current traveling locus is equal to or greater than a first predetermined value, and a parking assist means for performing a parking assist to guide the vehicle along the traveling locus. The parking assist apparatus further includes an initial traveling locus deviation calculating means for calculating the deviation amount of the present vehicle position from the initial traveling locus generated by the calculation of the initial traveling locus calculating means. The parking assist means stops performing the parking assist when the deviation amount calculated by the initial traveling locus deviation calculating means is equal to or greater than a second predetermined value which is smaller than the fist predetermined value.

Abstract: A parking assist apparatus includes a target parking position setting means for setting a target parking position by an operation on a display appearing on an actual image that shows vehicle surroundings, and a traveling locus calculating means for calculating a traveling locus to the target parking position for performing a parking assist to guide the vehicle along the traveling locus. The parking assist apparatus further includes a memory means for keeping storing an information of the traveling locus being generated at a time immediately before a resetting of the target parking position is performed until a new traveling locus to a new target parking position is generated under a condition that the parking assist is once started based on the traveling locus initially generated and when the resetting of the target parking position is performed before the vehicle reaches the target parking position being initially set.

Abstract: Parking assist apparatus and method cause a vehicle driver to set a target parking position in which the vehicle is to be parked by prompting the driver to specify the position of a parking space frame in the screen of a touch display by touch-operating arrow button swithches shown in the screen, and then calculate a path to the target parking position. If a path to the target parking position is not generated by calculation, the arrow button switches for moving the parking space frame in such directions that a path will not be generated (i.e., the vehicle cannot be parked), among all the arrow button switches, are made non-displayed or are displayed dimmer than the other arrow button switches, and are disabled.

Abstract: A vehicle traveling control system includes a control mode for controlling a vehicle speed by applying braking force so as to maintain the vehicle speed at a predetermined driving force threshold vehicle speed or smaller than that while a predetermined driving force beyond a creeping torque has been applied. The applied driving force is reduced when a target braking force required for maintaining the vehicle speed at the predetermined upper threshold vehicle speed or smaller than that is equal to a first predetermined value or greater than that. The applied driving force is increased when the target braking force or the actual braking force becomes a second predetermined value or smaller than that during the applied driving force being reduced.

Abstract: A parking assistance device capable of performing an easy operation for parking a driver's own vehicle along a parking course up to a parking target position. A parking course in which the driver's own vehicle reaches a parking target position indicated by a marker of a screen of a display of the driver's own vehicle is calculated up (S16). If a steering operation of the driver's own vehicle is performed, in the case that the current rudder angle changes towards a target rudder angle in order to move the driver's own vehicle along a parking course, the steering assistant power of the driver's own vehicle is increased (S21) and thus the steering operation of the driver's own vehicle is performed by a relatively small operational power.

Abstract: A parking assist system includes an image obtaining means for obtaining an image of a view from a vehicle, a displaying means for displaying the image obtained by the image obtaining means in a monitor display provided in the vehicle, an inputting means for inputting a target parking position, at which the vehicle is parked, on the monitor display, a detecting means for detecting a relative relationship between the vehicle and the target parking position, and a judging means for judging whether or not the vehicle can be parked at the target parking position based upon the relative relationship detected by the detecting means.

Abstract: According to a parking assist device and a method for assisting parking of the invention, when a parking assist is canceled after a start of the parking assist, and the parking assist is restarted, a target parking position (P2B) is reset at a reset position (P1B). In the invention, at this time, the target parking position (P2B) is determined based on a target parking position (P2A) which is set at a parking preparation position (P1A), and the determined target parking position (P2B) is displayed on a screen of a monitor (4) as a default display position of a target parking frame (11) at a reset time.

Abstract: A parking assist device (1) includes a camera (3) for capturing an image of an exterior of a vehicle, and a monitor (4) for displaying the captured image, and sets a target parking position by moving a target parking frame (11) displayed on a screen of the monitor (4). A default position of the target parking frame (11) is determined based on a target parking position (P2) which is a relative position with respect to a parking preparation position (P1). The target parking position (P2) is estimated based on a running state of the vehicle until the vehicle reaches the parking preparation position (P1).

Abstract: A vehicle traveling control system includes a control mode for controlling a vehicle speed by applying braking force so as to maintain the vehicle speed at a predetermined upper threshold vehicle speed or smaller than that while a predetermined driving force beyond a creeping torque has been applied. The applied driving force is reduced when a target braking force required for maintaining the vehicle speed at the predetermined upper threshold vehicle speed or smaller than that is equal to a first predetermined value or greater than that. The applied driving force is increased when the target braking force or the actual braking force becomes a second predetermined value or smaller than that during the applied driving force being reduced.

Abstract: In a parking assist apparatus that assists with moving, by automatic steering, a vehicle from an arbitrary stopping position to a target parking position set by the driver, a setting portion (i.e., a parking assist ECU) sets both a path from the stopping position to the target parking position and a steering operation necessary to bring the vehicle along that path. When this path cannot be set with the steering angle in the stopping position set as the initial steering angle, and when the path can be set with another steering angle as the initial steering angle, an instruction portion (i.e., a monitor or a speaker) instructs the driver to turn the steering wheel to this other steering angle.

Abstract: A parking assistance device capable of performing an easy operation for parking a driver's own vehicle along a parking course up to a parking target position. A parking course in which the driver's own vehicle reaches a parking target position indicated by a marker of a screen of a display of the driver's own vehicle is calculated up (S16). If a steering operation of the driver's own vehicle is performed, in the case that the current rudder angle changes towards a target rudder angle in order to move the driver's own vehicle along a parking course, the steering assistant power of the driver's own vehicle is increased (S21) and thus the steering operation of the driver's own vehicle is performed by a relatively small operational power. On the other hand, if the current rudder angle changes away from the target rudder angle, the steering operation of the driver's own vehicle is performed by a relatively large operational power since the rudder supplementary power is decreased (S21).

Abstract: A parking assist system for a driver to confirm a relationship between relative positions to obstacles and one s own vehicle. A top plane creating image 7B in which a circumstance situation of one's own vehicle is indicated from a point of upward view is created based on a backward image of one's own vehicle taken by a CCD camera and displayed on a screen of a display. A mobile locus including a marker G of one's own vehicle, a marker, a parking path, and a current position is displayed on the top plane creating image in a duplicate way.

Abstract: A parking assisting apparatus displays an image of a rear view from a vehicle, which is acquired by a camera, on a display located in a passenger compartment, thus assisting in a parking procedure. The parking procedure assisted by the parking assisting apparatus is, for example, a parallel parking procedure in which the rotating direction of the steering wheel must be switched. An assumed path along which the vehicle is moved during the parking procedure is determined in accordance with the steering angle of the steering wheel when the parking procedure is started. In the parking procedure, the display indicates a steering information that informs the driver of a timing at which the rotating direction of the steering wheel must be switched, in accordance with the assumed path.
