PARKING CONTROL DEVICE, PARKING CONTROL METHOD AND PARKING CONTROL PROGRAM

Provided is a parking control device that includes a detection unit and a determination unit. The detection unit detects a detection point group, which is an aggregate of a plurality of detection points of an obstacle, on the basis of information of reflected waves which are reflected transmission waves, the reflected waves being from a plurality of other vehicle groups parked adjacent to a parking space and being received by an ultrasonic sensor that transmits the transmission waves. The determination unit determines whether the parking space is a parallel parking space or a perpendicular parking space, on the basis of the position of the hollow shape in the outline pattern formed by the detection point group pattern. 停车控制装置具有探测部和判定部。探测部基于由对发送波进行发送的超声波传感器接收到的、来自以与停车空间相邻的方式停放的多个其它车辆群的对于发送波的反射波的信息，来探测障碍物的多个探测点的集合体即探测点群。判定部基于作为探测点群的图案的轮廓图案中的凹陷形状的位置，来判定停车空间是横向停车空间还是纵向停车空间。
