ABSTRACT:
A vehicular backing operation assist apparatus is coupled with a movement direction demand unit for demanding a forward or backward movement of the vehicle and a change detection unit for detecting a change of a state of the vehicle taking place in association with a start-up of the vehicle. A reverse departure, which is a backing operation for exiting a parking state, is determined to be performed if a transit period from when the change of the state is detected to when the backward movement is demanded, is within a predetermined period. A reverse parking, which is a backing operation for entering a parking state, is performed, if the transit period is greater than or equal to the predetermined period. An assist control unit then provides an assist item for a backing operation relative to either the reverse departure or the reverse parking, which is determined to be performed.
