PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system capable of further reducing a risk such as a collision of a moving entity such as a vehicle with a traffic participant existent in the vicinity of the moving entity.SOLUTION: According to an environment recognition system 1 of the present invention, a database 10 stores plural reference symbol strings, which describe states of environmental elements constituting each of scenes presumed to appear in the vicinity of a moving entity. A first arithmetic processing constituent 11 senses a scene surrounding the moving entity, and produces symbol strings describing states of environmental elements constituting the sensed scene. A second arithmetic processing constituent 12 evaluates a similarity of the symbol strings with the plural reference symbol strings stored in the database 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 |
