Abstract

When an automatic parking function and an automatic driving function are provided in the same system, a vehicle stops for parking trajectory calculation when switching between an automatic driving mode and an automatic parking mode is performed, and thus, there is concern that a driver is likely to feel discomfort with this stop. A surrounding environment recognition unit, a host vehicle position detection unit, an automatic driving trajectory calculation unit that calculates an automatic driving trajectory based on a current position and a surrounding environment of the host vehicle and a destination input result, a parking section detection calculation unit that detects a parking space around a destination based on the surrounding environment of the host vehicle, an automatic parking trajectory calculation unit that calculates an automatic parking trajectory along which the host vehicle is parked in the parking space, and a transition mode trajectory calculation unit that calculates a transition mode trajectory based on the automatic parking trajectory and the surrounding environment are provided. The automatic parking trajectory calculation unit calculates the automatic parking trajectory while the host vehicle is tracking the transition mode trajectory.
