Running surroundings recognizing apparatus

Abstract

A running surrounding recognizing apparatus is provided. The running surrounding recognizing apparatus is capable of accurately recognizing information in regard to running of a self-vehicle even if a mounting position of a sensor for running surrounding recognition is changed, and to provide a vehicle running control apparatus using the running surrounding recognizing apparatus. The running surrounding recognizing apparatus 1 comprises a communication part 11, a sensing region determining part 12 for determining a sensing region sensed by the running surrounding recognizing apparatus 1 and a sensing part 13. The communication part 11 is connected to external units through a bus 1200 to communicate data in regard to a mounting position of the running surrounding recognizing apparatus 1 on a vehicle. The sensing region determining part 12 determines the sensing region sensed by the running surrounding recognizing apparatus 1 based on the data in regard to a mounting position of the running surrounding recognizing apparatus 1 on a vehicle received through the communication part 11. The sensing part 13 outputs a sensed result based on the sensing region determined by the sensing region determining part 12 through the communication part.
