PARKING SUPPORT APPARATUS

To provide a parking support apparatus capable of parking a vehicle safely and quickly.SOLUTION: A parking support apparatus includes: a parking control part 21 for performing control to part a vehicle in a parking zone at a speed equal to or less than a first upper limit speed; and a situation determination part 22 for determining a situation of the vehicle and a situation surrounding the vehicle. Further the parking control part 21 parks the vehicle in the parking zone at a speed equal to or less than a second upper limit speed that is lower than the first upper limit speed on the basis of the determination result of the situation determination part 22. For example, in a case where the situation determination part 22 determines that: a size of the parking zone is equal to or more than a given size; or a width of a pathway connected to the parking zone is wider than a given size; or there is a following vehicle behind the vehicle, or an oncoming vehicle in front of the vehicle, within a given distance; or a speed is equal to or higher than a given speed before a driver instructs parking control, the parking control part 21 parks the vehicle in the parking zone at the second upper limit speed or less.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】安全かつ迅速に車両を駐車させることができる駐車支援装置を提供する。【解決手段】第１上限速度以下の車速で車両を駐車領域に駐車させる制御を行う駐車制御部２１と、車両の状況及び前記車両の周辺の状況を判定する状況判定部２２と、を備え、駐車制御部２１は、状況判定部２２の判定結果に基づいて、第１上限速度よりも速い第２上限速度以下の車速で車両を駐車領域に駐車させる。例えば、駐車領域の大きさが所定の大きさ以上である場合、駐車領域に接続した通路の幅が所定長よりも広い場合、車両の後方に追従車、車両の前方に対向車が所定距離以内にいる場合、運転者が駐車制御を指示する前の車速が所定車速以上である場合などが状況判定部２２により判定されたとき、駐車制御部２１は第２上限速度以下の車速で車両を駐車領域に駐車させる。【選択図】図２
