Abstract
A parking assist apparatus uses vehicle information and the recognition result of a peripheral recognition unit to calculate a plurality of patterns of parking paths, in which the radius of curvature of each of the arcs included in the parking paths is differentiated, as parking paths to park a vehicle at a parking area, by a parking path calculation unit. In addition, the parking assist apparatus selects, among the plurality patterns of parking paths, a parking path with both a minimum number of times of driving operations for changing an advancing direction of the vehicle from forward to reverse or reverse to forward, and the radius of curvature of the arc that is largest, by a parking path selection unit.
