A monitoring apparatus 120 for monitoring one or more target objects 150 in an environment external to a host vehicle 110 by means of at least one radar module 121 arranged to monitor a speed of the host vehicle 110 and relative movement between the host vehicle 110 and the one or more target objects 150. The apparatus 120 is arranged to trigger at least one action (e.g. braking via brakes 132, 134) responsive to the speed of the host vehicle 110 and detection of predetermined relative movement between the host vehicle 110 and the one or more target objects 150 thereby to reduce a risk of collision of the host vehicle 110 with the one or more target objects 150. The apparatus 120 is arranged to determine a lateral offset d of each said one or more target objects 150 from an extended axis L of the host vehicle 110, being a lateral distance of each said one or more target objects 150 from the extended axis L, wherein if the lateral offset d exceeds a prescribed value the vehicle is arranged not to trigger the at least one action. |
