Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A parking assistance device according to an embodiment includes a determination unit that determines, when the parallel parking of a vehicle in a parking area is assisted, whether the parking space length of a frontage that the vehicle enters in the parking area is the sum of the full length of the vehicle and a certain length or more and a control unit that performs parking assistance for the vehicle along a route in which stationary steering control is not performed at a turning position of the vehicle when the parking space length is the sum of the full length of the vehicle and the certain length or more.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A parking assistance device comprising: a determination unit that determines, when parallel parking of a vehicle in a parking area is assisted, whether a parking space length of a frontage that the vehicle enters in the parking area is a sum of a full length of the vehicle and a certain length or more; and a control unit that performs parking assistance for the vehicle along a route in which stationary steering control is not performed at a turning position of the vehicle when the parking space length is the sum of the full length of the vehicle and the certain length or more. 2 . The parking assistance device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit performs stationary steering control at the turning position of the vehicle when the parking space length is less than the sum of the full length of the vehicle and the certain length. 3 . The parking assistance device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit further determines whether stationary steering control is performed based on a deflection angle or a travelable distance of the vehicle at the turning position. 4 . The parking assistance device according to claim 1 , further comprising a temperature sensor that detects a temperature of an electric power steering system, wherein the control unit further determines whether stationary steering control is performed based on the detected temperature of the electric power steering system. 5 . A parking assistance method comprising: determining, when parallel parking of a vehicle in a parking area is assisted, whether a parking space length of a frontage that the vehicle enters in the parking area is a sum of a full length of the vehicle and a certain length or more; and performing parking assistance for the vehicle along a route in which stationary steering control is not performed at a turning position of the vehicle when the parking space length is the sum of the full length of the vehicle and the certain length or more. 6 . A parking assistance device comprising: a determination unit that determines, when parking of a vehicle in a parking area is assisted, whether a length of a frontage that the vehicle enters in the parking area is a sum of a full length of the vehicle and a certain length or more; and a control unit that performs parking assistance for the vehicle along a route drawn based on a clothoid curve at a turning position of the vehicle when the control unit determines that the length of the frontage is the sum of the full length of the vehicle and the certain length or more stationary steering control not being performed in the route. 7 . The parking assistance device according to claim 6 , wherein the control unit determines a route so as to cause the vehicle to drive over a lowermost curb in the parking area when the length of the frontage is shorter than a certain reference length.
