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.
