PARKING SPACE SEARCH DEVICE, PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a parking space search device which can more correctly determine a parking space.SOLUTION: A parking space search device comprises: an input part which receives information indicating an object which exists in a travel direction side, with a vehicle as a reference, from an object detection part which is mounted on the vehicle; and a control part for estimating a parking lot based on the information received by the input part, and if the estimated parking lot is present on any one of a left direction and right direction toward the travel direction of the vehicle, shifting a route of the vehicle to the other side. The input part receives the information acquired by the object detection part after the vehicle has shifted the route, and the control part searches the parking space for the vehicle based on information which is received by the input part after the vehicle has shifted the route.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】より正確に駐車スペースを判定可能な駐車空間探索装置を提供すること。【解決手段】駐車空間探索装置は、車両に搭載される物体検出部から、前記車両を基準として進行方向側に存在する物を表す情報を受け取る入力部と、前記入力部が受け取った情報に基づき駐車場を推定し、推定された駐車場が前記車両の進行方向に向かって左方向および右方向のいずれか一方にある場合、いずれか他方に前記車両の進路をシフトするよう制御する制御部と、を備え、前記入力部は、前記車両が進路をシフトした後に前記物体検出部で取得された前記情報を受け取り、前記制御部は、前記車両が進路をシフトした後に前記入力部が受け取った情報に基づき、前記車両の駐車空間を探索する。【選択図】図２
