PARKING ASSIST DEVICE
There is a problem that it takes a long time to park a vehicle because the vehicle has to be returned to a position outside the parking frame and parked. In step S 160 , the correction judgment unit 142 judges from the necessary correction amounts calculated in steps S 140 and S 150 and the remaining distance to the re-targeted parking position that is re-recognized, whether or not correction of the parking route with this remaining distance is possible. In a case where it is judged in step S 160 that correction with the remaining distance r 2 is impossible, the vehicle is stopped in step S 171 . Even if it is judged in step S 160 that the correction is impossible, when the vehicle is moved backward toward the parking frame is parked, the vehicle is obliquely parked in the parking frame and cannot be fit neatly in the parking frame. In step S 172 , a parking route including a turnabout is regenerated with respect to the re-targeted parking position calculated in step S 130 while the stopped state is maintained.
1 . A parking assist device comprising:
a parking-frame recognition unit that recognizes a parking frame;
a route generation unit that generates a route from a current position of a vehicle to a target parking position in the parking frame;
a re-targeted parking position calculating unit that causes the parking-frame recognition unit to re-recognize the parking frame and calculates a re-targeted parking position of the vehicle in a case where the vehicle approaches the parking frame with a predetermined distance therebetween;
a correction calculation unit that calculates a necessary correction amount for the vehicle to reach the re-targeted parking position from a re-recognized position where the parking frame is re-recognized;
a distance calculation unit that calculates a remaining distance from the re-recognized position to the re-targeted parking position; and
a correction judgment unit that judges whether or not correction of the necessary correction amount with the remaining distance calculated is possible,
wherein a parking route of the vehicle is changed according to judgement as to whether or not the correction is possible made by the correction judgment unit.
2 . The parking assist device according to claim 1 , wherein the correction judgment unit judges whether or not the correction is possible on a basis of relationship between a remaining distance and a necessary correction amount stored in advance.
3 . The parking assist device according to claim 1 , wherein the route generation unit regenerates a turnabout route to the re-targeted parking position in a case where the correction judgment unit judges that the correction is impossible.
4 . The parking assist device according to claim 3 further comprising
an interface unit that displays the route generated and selects a travelling route,
wherein in a case where the interface unit receives a parking route to the re-targeted parking position regenerated by the route generation unit, the interface unit presents inquiry information as to whether or not to perform parking assist to the re-targeted parking position.
5 . The parking assist device according to claim 1 , wherein
the parking-frame recognition unit
recognizes the parking frame from a frame line position detected by a camera in a case where the parking frame is a parking space surrounded by a parking frame line,
recognizes the parking frame from a position of an adjacent vehicle detected by a sonar in a case where the parking frame is a parking space surrounded by an adjacent vehicle, and
recognizes the parking frame from a frame line position detected by the camera or recognizes the parking frame from a position of the adjacent vehicle detected by the sonar in a case where the parking frame is a parking space surrounded by both the parking frame line and the adjacent vehicle.
6 . The parking assist device according to claim 1 , wherein
the parking-frame recognition unit
recognizes the parking frame by a camera and a sonar installed on a rear and a side of the vehicle in a case where the vehicle is parked side by side in the parking frame backward or obliquely backward, and
recognizes the parking frame with a camera and a sonar installed on a front and on the side of the vehicle in a case where the vehicle is parked side by side in the parking frame forward or obliquely forward.
7 . The parking assist device according to claim 1 , wherein the parking-frame recognition unit stops re-recognition of the parking frame by a camera and re-recognizes an adjacent vehicle by a sonar in a case where the camera fails before the re-recognition of the parking frame.
