LANE CHANGE ASSISTANT INFORMATION VISUALIZATION SYSTEM

摘要

A lane change assistant information visualization system minimizes the stress experienced by and the effort expended by a driver by displaying, in an intuitively-understandable manner, lane change options suitable for various lane changing situations and by displaying a set of information pertaining to vehicles in the periphery such that the driver is able to sufficiently make rational decisions with regard to changing lanes. Said system is at least provided with: a lane change program calculation device (9) for calculating (a) whether it is possible to change lanes, (b) the time until it is possible to change lanes when it is determined that it is not possible to change lanes or the allowed time to change lanes when it is determined that it is possible to change lanes, and (c) whether it is necessary to accelerate or decelerate; and a display unit (10) for displaying the aforementioned calculations.
