Abstract: In a parking assistance device, a target parking position calculation unit calculates a target parking position of a subject vehicle based on a position of a corner point of a parking space. A constraint condition setting unit sets a constraint condition regarding a target parking route for guiding the subject vehicle to the target parking position based on a position and a posture angle of the subject vehicle, peripheral information of the subject vehicle, and the position of the corner point of the parking space. The constraint condition includes a condition that a curvature change rate of the target parking route is continuous. A target parking route calculation unit calculates the target parking route based on the position and the posture angle of the subject vehicle, the position of the corner point of the parking space, the target parking position, and the constraint condition.

Abstract: To provide a vehicle control system which can reduce dependence on determination of an automatic driving vehicle and can make the automatic driving vehicle perform evacuation driving under control of the vehicle control system, at the time of occurrence of an evacuation cause. A vehicle control system acquires traveling nodes for automatic driving which makes the object vehicle perform automatic driving from the travel node storage unit, and transmits it to the object vehicle; and irrespective of a presence or absence of occurrence of an evacuation cause for evacuating the object vehicle, acquires the evacuation nodes corresponding to the travel nodes for automatic driving from the evacuation node storage unit, and transmits to the object vehicle.
