Abstract
An object detection device is mounted on a moving body and detects an object that exists around the moving body. An object detection device includes a transmitter that transmits a transmission wave, a receiver that receives a reception wave generated by the transmission wave being reflected by the object, a mode setting unit that switches, in accordance with a predetermined condition, a plurality of distance modes including a short distance mode targeting a short distance range determined in advance, and a controller that sets a driving time of the transmission wave in the short distance mode to be shorter than the driving time of the transmission wave in another distance mode targeting a range farther than the short distance range.

An object detection device that is mounted on a moving body and detects an object that exists around the moving body, the object detection device comprising:
- a transmitter that transmits a transmission wave;
- a receiver that receives a reception wave generated by the transmission wave being reflected by the object;
- a mode setting unit that switches, in accordance with a predetermined condition, a plurality of distance modes including a short distance mode targeting a short distance range determined in advance;
- and
- a controller that sets a driving time of the transmission wave in the short distance mode to be shorter than the driving time of the transmission wave in another distance mode targeting a range farther than the short distance range.
