Vehicle warning device

摘要

A warning control device is provided with a detection device for detecting a mobile body moving in a direction intersecting with the path of the host vehicle. The warning control device performs a warning operation when the host vehicle and the mobile body approach each other. The warning control device calculates the intersecting distance, which is the distance to the host vehicle from a predicted intersecting position between the path of the host vehicle and the path of the mobile body. The shorter the calculated intersecting distance, the earlier becomes the timing of the warning operation executed by the warning control device.

主权项

1. A vehicle warning device comprising:
a detecting unit that detects a mobile object moving in a direction intersecting a path of a host vehicle; a distance calculating unit that calculates an intersecting distance that is a distance to the host vehicle from a predicted intersecting position of the path of the host vehicle and a path of the mobile object; a warning unit that takes a warning action if the host vehicle and the mobile object approach each other; and a timing changing unit that advances the timing of execution of the warning action by a greater extent as the intersecting distance becomes shorter.
