ABSTRACT:
A view in front of a vehicle (1) is captured, and the captured imaged is displayed on a display section. At a predetermined stop position (S1), a target parking position (S4) of the vehicle (1) is set based on the captured image. Then, a reverse guidance route (C2) is calculated. The reverse guidance route (C2) is a route located forward of the vehicle (1), in front of the stop position (S1), and lies from a reverse start position (S2), at which the vehicle (1) starts to reverse for parking, up to the target parking position (S4). Based on the captured image, the reverse start position (S2) is set within a predetermined setting area by an instruction of an occupant of the vehicle (1). A forward travel guidance route (C1) from the stop position (S1) to the reverse start position (S2) is calculated, and conditions of movement of the vehicle (1) are detected. The vehicle (1) is guided from the stop position (S1) up to the reverse start position (S2) based on the forward travel guidance route (C1) and on the movement conditions.
