DRIVING SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driving support system further accurately predicting a collision similarly to an actual event in consideration of the vehicle sizes or the like of one's own vehicle and another vehicle. SOLUTION: An outline arithmetic block 5A approximates the outline of each of the own vehicle and another vehicle to a rectangular shape using the vehicle size included in the own vehicle and another vehicle. A vehicle position prediction block 5B predicts the position of each of the own vehicle and another vehicle after a predetermined time based on the states of the own vehicle and another vehicle. A collision possibility determination block 5C determines the possibility of collision of the own vehicle with another vehicle based on the shapes of the own vehicle and another vehicle approximate to the rectangular shape and predicted positions of the own vehicle and another vehicle. An information providing block 5D provides information according to the collision possibility. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
