MOBILE BODY COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND TRAVEL ASSISTANCE METHOD

摘要

A mobile communication device is provided in a mobile object, and is capable of providing turn collision prevention support, so as to prevent a collision with another mobile object at a risk of collision when the mobile object turns. The mobile communication device includes: a communication unit for receiving information that includes information indicating a signal indication of a traffic signal; and a control unit for determining a notification mode to provide a predetermined notification to draw an attention via a notification unit when turning. The control unit determines the notification mode regardless of whether or not the another mobile object is present when the signal indication of the traffic signal for the traveling direction of the mobile object is an advance-prohibited signal indication with turning-permitted signal indication. Thus the device achieves smooth traffic and preventing excessive support through turn collision prevention support depending on a signal indication.
