Periphery monitoring device for motor vehicle and recording medium containing program for determining danger of collision for motor vehicle

摘要

The positions of an object on the sideward position of a vehicle are detected at prescribed time intervals. An expected locus of the object is computed on the basis of the positions of the object detected at the prescribed time intervals. An expected locus of the vehicle is also computed. It is determined whether or not there is a danger of collision on the basis of both the expected loci of the object and the vehicle. In this configuration, a periphery monitoring apparatus can be proposed which is capable of determining the danger of collision on the basis of the mutual movements of the vehicle and object.
