Attention energization device mounted in vehicle, has positioning section that performs sound image positioning of attention tone excitation by positioning sound pattern of attention energization sound at attention excitation position

摘要

The device (1) has a visibility specifying section that specifies the visibility information from the current position of the subject vehicle to a driver of vehicle. An attention excitation position specifying section specifies the attention excitation position based on a boundary line between visible and invisible region. A sound image positioning section performs a sound image positioning of an attention tone excitation with respect to the moving object by positioning a sound pattern of attention energization sound at attention excitation position. One specifying section specifies a current position of a subject vehicle and a traveling direction of the subject vehicle. Another specification section specifies a current position of a moving object and a direction of travel of the moving object. The visibility of information defines whether each point around the subject vehicle is visible to the driver.
