Converts the vehicle pushing command value to the target vehicle pushing assistance vesicle speed, determines whether vehicle pushing assistance can be performed based on the driver's posture and the vehicle condition, and outputs the vehicle pushing assistance permission determination. Then, from the target vehicle pushing assistance vehicle speed and the vehicle pushing assistance permission determination, the control amount for the vehicle power source that assists the vehicle pushing is calculated and output.
