  • Publication number: 20210179083
    Abstract: A parking assist system for a vehicle includes a control device configured to control the vehicle to execute an automatic moving process for autonomously moving the vehicle from a current position to a target position. The control device is configured such that, in a case where a parking brake driving condition is satisfied when the control device stops the vehicle during movement to the target position in the automatic moving process and thereafter cancels the automatic moving process without permitting resumption of the movement of the vehicle, the control device switches a shift position of the shift device of the vehicle to a parking position and drives the parking brake device of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20210179078
    Abstract: A parking assist system includes: a display device configured to display a parking space candidate; and a control device configured to control a screen display of the display device, to set the parking space candidate selected by a user to a target parking space, to set a stop position where the vehicle should be stopped in the target parking space, and to execute a driving process to autonomously move the vehicle along a trajectory to the stop position. While executing the driving process, the control device causes the display device to display the trajectory and the stop position and determines whether the stop position is suitable based on external environment information. Upon determining that the stop position is not suitable, the control device corrects the stop position and causes the display device to display the stop position that has been corrected.

    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a terminal, a control device, and an external environment sensor. The control device includes an action plan unit, an external environment recognizing unit, and a traveling control unit. The terminal includes a position detection unit and an input unit. In a case where a prescribed condition is satisfied, the action plan unit computes or maintains a traveling route that is not restricted by a person to be present in a moving side area located on one lateral side for which a vehicle should be headed. In a case where the prescribed condition is not satisfied, the action plan unit computes the traveling route such that the vehicle reaches a parking position after moving straight for a prescribed distance or more. The prescribed condition is satisfied in a case where a position of the terminal is present in the moving side area.
