Abstract
The parking assist system assists the maneuvering for moving a vehicle to a reverse start position, then moving it in reverse from the reverse start position to a predetermined parking position in a manner as follows. A parking target setting section sets a parking target position corresponding to the predetermined parking position, based upon a parking reference detected based on image data captured from the scene around the vehicle. A parking path calculating section sequentially calculates a parking path from a present position of the vehicle to the parking target position, in the course of forward movement along a forward path. A parking path determining section determines whether an effective parking path has been established or not, based upon result of calculation by the parking path calculating section.
