Abstract
A parking controller according to one aspect of an embodiment includes a specific-parking-frame acquiring unit, a target-parking-frame setting unit, and a vacant-parking-frame detecting unit. The specific-parking-frame acquiring unit acquires information indicating a specific parking frame. The specific parking frame is a parking frame that is specified by an external device among from a plurality of parking frames in a parking lot. The target-parking-frame setting unit sets the specific parking frame as a target parking frame. The target parking frame is a parking frame to be a target. The vacant-parking-frame detecting unit detects a vacant parking frame while an own vehicle is travelling to the target parking frame. The vacant parking frame is a parking frame in a vacant state. The target-parking-frame setting unit changes, when the vacant-parking-frame detecting unit detects the vacant parking frame, the set target parking frame into the vacant parking frame.
