Electronic control device

An electronic control device comprising one or more memory devices storing target information of a target detected by a plurality of external sensors installed in an own vehicle and having a program stored therein that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:

• acquire information on an environment of a road on which the own vehicle travels and a position of the own vehicle,
• determine whether or not a median strip exists on the road on which the own vehicle travels,
• upon determining that the median strip exists on the road on which the own vehicle travels, set, among surrounding regions of the own vehicle, an exclusion area from a front to a rear of the own vehicle in an opposite lane, the exclusion area being a region for determining the target information to be excluded from a processing object from among the target information based on the environment of the road on which the own vehicle travels and the position of the own vehicle,
• determine whether to set the target information as the processing object or exclude the target information from the processing object based on the exclusion area and the target information, and
• control, based on a determination of whether to set the target information as the processing object or exclude the target information from the processing object, a vehicle operation of the own vehicle.
