An automated driving control device includes a registration unit configured to generate automated driving information used for driving a vehicle automatically based on a first image obtained by capturing an environment around the vehicle in a mode of driver driving; and a control unit configured to automatically drive the vehicle based on the automated driving information and a second image obtained by capturing the environment around the vehicle in a mode of automated driving. The registration unit includes an extraction unit configured to extract candidate feature points existing in the environment around the vehicle based on the first image; and a generation unit configured to select the candidate feature points that are determined to be structures fixed around a target position of the vehicle based on the first images captured while the vehicle moves, as feature points.

A parking support system includes a parking path planning unit that plans a trajectory of each unit path when moving a vehicle to a target parking position by repeating a movement of the unit path including one forward movement and one backward movement in succession and calculates a vehicle control signal that causes the vehicle to move along the trajectory such that a steering angle of the vehicle is substantially 0 degrees at an arrival position of each of the forward movement and the backward movement.

When the engine torque starts decreasing prior to disengagement of a clutch, the motor torque realMT is controlled to compensate for the deficiency in the engine torque tpsET due to the decrease in the engine torque. Further, the motor torque realMT is controlled to compensate for a deficiency in the engine torque tpsET after engagement of the clutch until increasing of the throttle opening is completed. By controlling the motor torque as such, the reduction in the engine torque tpsET can be compensated for by the motor torque realMT not only when the clutch is being disengaged but also prior to the disengagement of the clutch and after engagement thereof, thus preventing fluctuation in acceleration of the vehicle due to the increase and decrease in torque.
