PURPOSE:To provide a device for parking a vehicle at a parking possible area by accurately recognizing the parking possible area. CONSTITUTION:The vehicle mounts a parking assistance device composed of a length detector 50 consisting of ultrasonic sensors 32 and 33, detecting the overall length of a vehicle which is already parking along the side of the road and the length of the parking possible area formed behind the parking vehicle, an overall width estimating device 40 estimating the overall width of the parking vehicle from the overall length of the vehicle detected by the length detector 50, an arithmetic unit 34 calculating a necessary driving operation for parking the vehicle in a parking possible space based on the length of the parking possible area and the overall length of the parking vehicle detected by the length detector 50 and the overall width of the parking vehicle estimated from the overall widthe estimating device 40, and a display device informing the driving operation calculated by the arithmetic means 34. The parking assistance device assists a driver to park the vehicle in the parking possible area. |
