Abstract
A vehicle periphery information verification device comprises: an obstacle detecting unit configured to detect an obstacle; an arranging unit configured to arrange a travelable region in which a vehicle is travelable and the detected obstacle on a map; an action determining unit configured to determine an action of a host vehicle by using information on the arranged obstacle; a judging unit configured to judge whether the arranged obstacle is arranged in the travelable region; and a prohibiting unit configured to prohibit the action determining unit from determining the action of the host vehicle when the obstacle is determined to be not arranged in the travelable region.
Claims8
A vehicle periphery information verification device comprising:
- an obstacle detecting unit configured to detect an obstacle;
- an arranging unit configured to arrange a travelable region in which a vehicle is travelable and the obstacle which is detected by the obstacle detecting unit on a map;
- an action determining unit configured to determine an action of a host vehicle by using information on the obstacle arranged by the arranging unit;
- a judging unit configured to judge whether the obstacle arranged by the arranging unit is arranged in the travelable region;
- and
- a prohibiting unit configured to prohibit the action determining unit from determining the action of the host vehicle when the judging unit judges that the obstacle is not arranged in the travelable region,
- wherein the judging unit judges that the obstacle is not arranged in the travelable region when part of the obstacle is arranged to overlap the region outside the travelable region.
A vehicle periphery information verification method comprising:
- detecting an obstacle by an obstacle detecting unit;
- arranging a travelable region in which a vehicle is travelable and the detected obstacle on a map by an arranging unit;
- determining an action of a host vehicle by using information on the arranged obstacle by an action determining unit;
- judging whether the arranged obstacle is arranged in the travelable region by a judging unit;
- and
- when judging that the arranged obstacle is not arranged in the travelable region, prohibiting the determination of the action of the host vehicle by using at least the information on the obstacle not arranged in the travelable region by a prohibiting unit,
- wherein the judging unit judges that the obstacle is not arranged in the travelable region when part of the obstacle is arranged to overlap the region outside the travelable region.
