PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect an object ahead of one's own vehicle by a plurality of on-vehicle sensors, to identify whether the object is a vehicle, to output the reliability of a detection result, and to support driving based thereon. SOLUTION: This vehicle detector of the present invention is introduced to have a means for measuring nonvehicle (peripheral object) likelihood, for example, white line likelihood and road likelihood, in addition to a means for measuring vehicle likelihood, and does not determine a preceding vehicle position independently by the respective means, but detects the preceding vehicle position, based on an integrated scale integrated with the "vehicle likelihood" and the "nonvehicle likelihood". The reliability of detection is also calculated based on a distribution of a photographed environment and the integrated vehicle likelihood, so as to execute identification for three patterns of the "vehicle", "nonvehicle" and "difficulty in identification".
