Abstract
A parking assistance apparatus obtains a target travelling route including a forward section and a backward section and lets a vehicle move along the target travelling route such that the vehicle reaches a target parking position. The parking assistance apparatus execute a collision avoidance processing when an obstacle which is closer than a threshold distance is detected while the vehicle moves along the target travelling route. The distance between the vehicle and a specific region is kept to be larger than a clearance distance while the vehicle moves along the backward section such that the obstacle for the collision avoidance processing which cannot be detected while the vehicle moves along the forward section will not be found while the vehicle moves along the backward section. The specific region is determined on the basis of a detection region of a sensor device for detecting the obstacle and the threshold distance.
