Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A driving assistance device for a vehicle includes a traveling environment recognizer, a parking space detector, an evaluation value calculator, and a parking space setter. The traveling environment recognizer is configured to recognize traveling environment information related to an outside of the vehicle. The parking space detector is configured to, in a case where the vehicle has entered a parking lot, detect one or more parking spaces available to the vehicle based on the traveling environment information. The evaluation value calculator is configured to calculate one or more evaluation values for the one or more parking spaces, each of the one or more evaluation values including an exit hindrance factor as an evaluation item. The parking space setter is configured to select, with priority, a parking space for parking the vehicle from among the one or more parking spaces. The evaluation value of the parking space is relatively high.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A driving assistance device for a vehicle, the driving assistance device comprising: a traveling environment recognizer configured to recognize traveling environment information related to an outside of the vehicle; a parking space detector configured to, in a case where the vehicle has entered a parking lot, detect one or more parking spaces available to the vehicle based on the traveling environment information; an evaluation value calculator configured to calculate one or more evaluation values for the one or more parking spaces, each of the one or more evaluation values including an exit hindrance factor as an evaluation item; and a parking space setter configured to select, with priority, a parking space for parking the vehicle from among the one or more parking spaces, an evaluation value of the parking space included in the one or more evaluation values being relatively high. 2 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate a possible exit direction of the vehicle from each of the one or more parking spaces as the exit hindrance factor. 3 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate a surface condition in each of the one or more parking spaces as the exit hindrance factor. 4 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate a surface condition in each of the one or more parking spaces as the exit hindrance factor. 5 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate the surface condition at least based on whether snow is present on a surface of each of the one or more parking spaces. 6 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate the surface condition at least based on whether snow is present on a surface of each of the one or more parking spaces. 7 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate an inclination of each of the one or more parking spaces as the exit hindrance factor. 8 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate an inclination of each of the one or more parking spaces as the exit hindrance factor. 9 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate an inclination of each of the one or more parking spaces as the exit hindrance factor. 10 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate an inclination of each of the one or more parking spaces as the exit hindrance factor. 11 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate an inclination of each of the one or more parking spaces as the exit hindrance factor. 12 . The driving assistance device for the vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein the evaluation value calculator is configured to evaluate an inclination of each of the one or more parking spaces as the exit hindrance factor. 13 . A driving assistance device for a vehicle, the driving assistance device comprising circuitry configured to recognize traveling environment information related to an outside of the vehicle, in a case where the vehicle has entered a parking lot, detect one or more parking spaces available to the vehicle based on the traveling environment information, calculate one or more evaluation values for the one or more parking spaces, each of the one or more evaluation values including an exit hindrance factor as an evaluation item, and select, with priority, a parking space for parking the vehicle from among the one or more parking spaces, an evaluation value of the parking space included in the one or more evaluation values being relatively high.
