Abstract
In the invention, in automatic parking, a route from a parking start position to a target parking position is calculated prior to the start of parking. However, there are cases where an external environment recognition device cannot detect an obstacle at a distant or blind spot. In such a case, smooth parking is hindered when the vehicle is actually automatically parked. In the invention, in Step Sthe vehicle is virtually moved from a parking start positionin the direction of a turning position, and a turning positionis calculated on a parking routeIn Step Sa preliminary route to a target parking positionwhen the vehicle is turned back at the turning positionis calculated. In the next Step Sit is determined whether the preliminary route can be generated, and when the preliminary route satisfies a predetermined condition, the route calculated by a candidate route calculation unitis adopted as an automatic parking route.
