An object recognition device having a distance measurement sensor mounted on an own vehicle and detects the distance to the object an own vehicle location detector that detects an own vehicle position an object detector that detects the object position based on the distance data and the own vehicle position, and an object distinguisher that distinguishes whether the object is a static object or a moving object based on a distance data, a vehicle position, and an object position wherein the static object distinguished by the object distinguisher is recognized as a static object to be detected, it is possible to reduce the annoyance given to a human such as a driver before guiding the vehicle to the target parking position without erroneously recognizing the target parking space.

A route generation device includes: a steering loaded state input unit to which a steering loaded state of a vehicle is inputted; a parking slot position input unit to which a position of a parking slot near the vehicle is inputted; a vehicle position input unit to which a position of the vehicle is inputted; a number-of-times-of-static-steering upper limit calculation unit configured to calculate, on the basis of the steering loaded state, a number-of-times-of-static-steering upper limit value up to which static steering of the vehicle can be performed between the position of the vehicle and the position of the parking slot; and a guidance route generation unit configured to generate a guidance route for guiding the vehicle to the parking slot, on the basis of the position of the vehicle, the position of the parking slot, and the number-of-times-of-static-steering upper limit value.

Route generation device, parking assist apparatus, route generation method, and parking assist method

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.

Parking assistance device and parking assistance method

The present invention relates to a parking assistance device, and includes: a surrounding detection part detecting surrounding information of a vehicle which is to be parked to detect a parking space where the vehicle can be parked; a parking route generation part generating a traveling route from a current position of the vehicle to the parking space; a travel controller making the vehicle travel to the parking space along the traveling route; an obstacle detection part detecting an obstacle around the vehicle; and a parking route regeneration part generating a new traveling route to avoid a collision between the vehicle and the obstacle and park the vehicle in the parking space in a case where the travel controller makes the vehicle travel to the parking space along the traveling route, wherein the travel controller makes the vehicle travel along the new traveling route when the new traveling route is generated.
