Provided is a driving support device () including a control device which has an acceleration suppression function of suppressing acceleration of an own vehicle when the own vehicle is determined to be positioned in a parking area (PA) including a parking spot row (PSA) and an erroneous depression operation is determined to be executed on an accelerator pedal (AP). The control device predicts a trajectory (T) of the own vehicle in a case in which the own vehicle travels when a speed (vs) of the own vehicle is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, and further predicts a time (Δt) required for the own vehicle to reach a point at which the trajectory (T) and the parking spot row (PSA) intersect with each other. The control device determines that the own vehicle is positioned in the parking area (PA) when the predicted time (Δt) is equal to or shorter than a predetermined time. When the speed (vs) of the own vehicle is lower than the predetermined speed or the own vehicle is stopped, the control device determines that the own vehicle is positioned in the parking area (PA) in a case in which a determination target region (A), which has a predetermined length, extends from the own vehicle toward a traveling direction, and is defined in accordance with a turning angle of the own vehicle, and the parking spot row (PSA) overlap each other.

A parking assist apparatus sets a target position on a traffic lane, based on vehicle surrounding information, calculates a moving route, and executes a parking assist control of moving an own vehicle along the moving route. The parking assist control includes a steering angle control, a driving force control, and a braking force control. The parking assist apparatus changes the stopping number of stopping the own vehicle, based on the vehicle surrounding information while moving the own vehicle along the moving route.

Parking assist apparatus

A remote movement system of the invention comprises an operation terminal and a vehicle electronic control unit. The operation terminal includes a touch sensing portion which senses a finger of a user touching the touch sensing portion and a terminal electronic control unit configured to transmit a control execution command for requesting an execution of a remote movement control to cause a vehicle to move to a target position when movement of the user's finger touching the touch sensing portion satisfies a predetermined touch interaction condition. The vehicle electronic control unit is provided in the vehicle and configured to execute the remote movement control in response to receiving the control execution command from the terminal electronic control unit. The predetermined touch interaction condition does not include a condition that the user's finger moves, touching the touch sensing portion along a predetermined specific path.

Remote movement system and operation terminal

Appropriate vehicle stability control is enabled in a vehicle configured to carry out regeneration enhancement control. A predictive deceleration support control unit is configured to set a position at which the vehicle is predicted to finish deceleration as a target deceleration end position, and guide a driver to release an accelerator pedal so that the deceleration of the vehicle is finished at the target deceleration end position, to thereby carry out regeneration enhancement control under a state in which the accelerator pedal is released so as to generate a larger deceleration than in a normal state. The predictive deceleration support control unit is configured to read a vehicle stability control flag from a brake ECU and stop the regeneration enhancement control when the vehicle stability control is being carried out.
