Abstract
A driving assistance method detects a behavior of a moving object causing a blind spot area around a host vehicle, predicts a probability of action that the moving object takes when an obstacle is present in the blind spot area, according to a road structure around the host vehicle, and compares the behavior of the moving object with the probability of action that the moving object takes, so as to predict an action of the moving object.
Claims12
A driving assistance method for predicting an action of a moving object around a host vehicle to control the host vehicle according to the predicted action of the moving object, the method comprising:
- detecting a behavior of the moving object causing a blind spot area around the host vehicle;
- predicting a probability of action that the moving object takes when an obstacle which cannot be detected by the host vehicle is present in the blind spot area, according to a road structure around the host vehicle;
- and
- comparing the behavior with the probability of action so as to predict the action of the moving object.
A driving assistance device comprising:
- an object detection sensor configured to detect a behavior of a moving object causing a blind spot area around a host vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to predict an action of the moving object and control the host vehicle according to the predicted action of the moving object,
- wherein the controller predicts a probability of action that the moving object takes when an obstacle which cannot be detected by the host vehicle is present in the blind spot area, according to a road structure around the host vehicle, and
- the controller compares the behavior with the probability of action so as to predict the action of the moving object.
