Abstract
In a parking support device, a distance measuring unit measures a quantity equivalent to a distance from an automotive vehicle to an object existing in a predetermined direction. A storage unit stores a sequence of points indicating results of the measurement performed multiple times. A first object specifying unit generates first object information based on the sequence of points when a length of the sequence of points has exceeded a first reference length. A second object specifying unit generates second object information based on the sequence of points when a length of the sequence of points has exceeded a second, larger reference length. A target parking position is determined based on the first object information in a stage where the first object information is generated.
