A parking assist apparatus is configured to perform a deviation control including at least one of a first notification control and a stop control when the parking assist apparatus determines that a vehicle that is performing an automatic parking deviates from a learned route. The parking assist apparatus is configured to learn, as the learned route, a position of the vehicle in each of multiple learned images that an outside-vehicle camera captures a space including the vehicle and the parking space multiple times while the vehicle is performing a manual parking or the automatic parking; and perform the deviation control when the parking assist apparatus determines that the vehicle deviates based on a position of the vehicle in a comparative image and a position of the vehicle in the learned image.

Parking assist apparatus

A driving assistance device that provides assistance to a vehicle including a sensor, collecting peripheral information, includes a detection unit that detects an obstacle and a parking area at a vehicle periphery; a road width calculation unit that calculates an area between first and second boundary lines as a road width; a route calculation unit that calculates a movement route through the area and the parking area to a target position; and a movement control unit that moves the vehicle along the movement route; where when a second obstacle is detected on the inside of the first and second boundary lines and on the second boundary line side with respect to the vehicle, and the second obstacle is continuously detected when the vehicle reaches a predetermined timing, an area between a third boundary line extending in the predetermined direction and the first boundary line is detected as new road width.

Driving assistance device and vehicle

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.

A driving assistance device provides driving assistance to a vehicle including a sensor that collects peripheral information according an instruction from a terminal of a user of the vehicle, the device including: a route calculation unit that calculates a movement route of the vehicle to a target position based on the peripheral information; a detection unit that detects an obstacle at a periphery of the vehicle moving through the movement route based on the peripheral information; and a movement control unit that moves the vehicle along the movement route; where the movement control unit temporarily interrupts the driving assistance and waits until the obstacle moves from a position that hinders the movement when the obstacle is detected at a position hindering the movement of the vehicle on the movement route and a length of the movement route shortened by the obstacle is longer than or equal to a predetermined distance.

A vehicle control apparatus executes parking assistance control in accordance with an exit method selected on a screen. The vehicle control apparatus is configured to select an exit method estimated that a driver of a vehicle is likely to desire as a specific exit method from among a plurality of exit methods and causes a display device to display the screen in a state where the specific exit method is selected in advance.

Vehicle control apparatus

A vehicle controller includes a target position recognition unit configured to recognize a target position, a parking route generation unit configured to generate a parking route, and an automatic steering unit configured to automatically operate a steering device. The parking route generation unit generates a first route and a second route. The first route is a parking route to a temporary target position that is obtained by laterally moving the target position toward inside of the parking route in a turning direction. The second route is a parking route to the target position from a designated position in the middle of the first route. The automatic steering unit automatically operates the steering device to cause the subject vehicle to follow the first route until the subject vehicle reaches the designated position and to follow the second route from the designated position until the subject vehicle reaches the target position.

Vehicle controller

A park assist system includes a controller that executes park assist control with which a vehicle is automatically parked in a parking spot. The controller is configured to set a point at a position higher than the vehicle and across the vehicle from the parking spot as a viewpoint used to generate the parking spot image, set an angle according to a parking spot distance that is an actual distance between the vehicle and a parking spot shown by the parking spot image as a depression angle used to generate the parking spot image, generate a parking spot image by using the set viewpoint and depression angle, cause a display device to display the parking spot image, and park the vehicle with the park assist control in a parking spot set by the driver as a target parking spot by way of viewing the parking spot image.
