A parking support apparatus includes: a first parking space setting unit that sets a first parking space including information of a parking position and a parking angle of a vehicle at a parking completion position; a second parking space setting unit that calculates a second parking space, which is obtained by correcting the parking angle of the first parking space, based on information of measurement of the first parking space by using a vehicle surrounding sensor which measures a surrounding area of the vehicle; a parking space determination unit that calculates reliability of the second parking space and determines to use the first parking space or the second parking space based on the calculated reliability; and a parking route generation unit that generates a parking route to the first parking space or the second parking space determined by the parking space determination unit.

Parking support apparatus

A parking assistance device includes a parking direction specification unit specifying a parking direction in a case where a subject vehicle is parked at a parking region, an obstacle detection unit detecting an obstacle, a detection range setting unit setting a detection range for detecting a bearing of the obstacle, a division unit dividing the detection range in a direction associated with the specified parking direction and generating plural divided ranges, a bearing calculation unit calculating a bearing of the detected obstacle, which is a bearing of a side surface of the obstacle which extends in the parking direction, for each of the divided ranges and calculating an average value of the bearings which are respectively calculated for the divided ranges, and a parking position setting unit setting a parking position where the subject vehicle is parked at the parking region based on the calculated average value.
