To provide a towing support device capable of making it easy to recognize, when the coupling angle between a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle becomes equal to or larger than a first angle, position relation between the towing vehicle and towed vehicle, i.e., the current state.SOLUTION: A towing support device comprises: an image acquisition part which acquires a rear image including an area behind a towing vehicle and a side image including a region by the towing vehicle, one after another, the images being captured as peripheral images by an imaging part provided on the towing vehicle to which a towed vehicle can be coupled; an angle acquisition part which acquires the angle of coupling between the towing vehicle and towed vehicle; and a display processing part which switches, when the side image is displayed at a display part in a state in which the towing vehicle to which the towed vehicle is coupled can travel backward, a peripheral image to be displayed at the display part from the side image to the rear image if the angle of coupling becomes equal to or larger than a first angle at which variation control to make the angle of coupling small by steering in the backward travel of the towing vehicle is disabled.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
【課題】牽引車両と被牽引車両との連結角度が第一の角度以上になる場合に、牽引車両と被牽引車両との位置関係、すなわち、現在の状態を認識させやすくすることができる牽引支援装置を提供する。【解決手段】牽引支援装置は、被牽引車両を連結可能な牽引車両に設けられた撮像部で周辺画像として撮像された、牽引車両の後方領域を含む後方画像と牽引車両の側方領域を含む側方画像とを逐次取得する画像取得部と、牽引車両と被牽引車両との連結角度を取得する角度取得部と、被牽引車両を連結した牽引車両が後退走行可能な状態で、表示部に側方画像が表示されている場合に、牽引車両の後退走行時の操舵で連結角度を小さくする変更制御が不能となる第一の角度以上になった場合、表示部に表示する周辺画像を側方画像から後方画像に切り替える表示処理部と、を備える。【選択図】図4
