Abstract: A parking control apparatus includes a control unit capable of executing backward parking assist control based on surrounding information. In a case when a parking space is detected, when a specific condition to be satisfied when the parking space has a relatively narrow width is satisfied, the control unit executes guidance control as the backward parking assist control. The guidance control is control for moving a vehicle from a current position to a guidance target position in front of the parking space, so that the vehicle stops at the guidance target position in a posture in which: a vehicle's longitudinal axis is parallel to a long-side direction of the parking space; a vehicle's width is included in the width of the parking space when viewed from front; and the parking space is in closer proximity to a rear end portion than to a front end portion of the vehicle.

Abstract: A parking assistance device includes a central processing unit. The central processing unit detects the size of a parking space. The central processing unit sets the size of an extra space to be secured at a minimum between a vehicle and an object around the parking space while changing that size according to the detected size of the parking space. Based on the set size of the extra space, the central processing unit provides assistance in parking the vehicle into the parking space.

Abstract: In a vehicle collision determination apparatus, a position calculation unit calculates a trajectory of a target that is a movement trajectory of the target, and calculates an entrainment trajectory of the vehicle that is a movement trajectory of the vehicle during a turn, and calculate a position of collision where a collision is likely to occur between the vehicle and the target based on the trajectory of the target and the entrainment trajectory of the vehicle. A time calculation unit calculates a time to collision (TTC) that is a time it takes for the target to reach the position of collision. In response to the time to collision being equal to or less than a predefined determination threshold, a risk determination unit determines that there is a risk of collision between the vehicle and the target.

The target travelling route is obtained such that the vehicle moves backward to reach the target parking position and the vehicle is moves in a region on the target parking position side of a travelling boundary line. The travelling boundary line is a straight line which is in front of the vehicle located at the target parking position and which is away from a reference position by a boundary distance. The reference position is a position at a front end and at a center in a lateral direction of the vehicle located at the target parking position. The boundary distance is a configurable value changed by a driver of the vehicle.

Abstract: A surroundings monitoring apparatus obtains the position of an object from a captured image of a region in a heading direction of a vehicle, and obtains a position obtainment accuracy. When the distance between the object and the vehicle becomes relatively short, the position obtainment accuracy increases. However, the distance between the object and the vehicle becomes shorter, the position obtainment accuracy may decrease. Therefore, if collision avoidance control is performed for an object selected on the basis of the position obtainment accuracy, there is a possibility that the collision avoidance control is not performed for an object which is most likely to collide with the vehicle. In view of this, the apparatus obtains, for each object, a required deceleration which is the magnitude of acceleration necessary for stoppage at a position before the object, and performs the collision avoidance control for an object which is the largest in the required deceleration.

Abstract: A parking support apparatus determines whether or not a leaving condition becomes satisfied while the controller is executing the automatic parking control and the current shift range is at range other than a parking range, the leaving condition being a condition that is satisfied when the driver performs a leaving action. The parking support apparatus determines whether or not the vehicle has already reached the target parking area. The parking support apparatus generates a first alert having a first alerting capability, if the vehicle has already reached the target parking area when the leaving condition has been satisfied, and generates a second alert having a second alerting capability lower than the first alerting capability or no alerts, if the vehicle has not reached the target parking area yet when the leaving condition has been satisfied.
