1. A collision possibility determination device characterized by comprising:

  • a map identifying predefined areas surrounding the moving body including a predefined near distance area and a predefined far distance area, the predefined near distance area having a near distance length in the traveling direction of the moving body and a near distance width in the width direction of the moving body, and the predefined far distance area having a far distance length that is farther than the near distance length in the traveling direction of the moving body and a far distance width that is farther than the near distance width in the width direction of the moving body;

    a selection unit which identifies and groups, based on the map, the at least one object into near distance objects in the predefined near distance area or far distance objects in the predefined far distance area, and wherein the selection unit further selects at least one target object as a determination target from among the at least one object; and

    a determination unit which determines a collision possibility of the moving body with the target object in a far distance mode for far distance objects on the basis of a space between the moving body and the target object in a travelling direction of the moving body and a space between the moving body and the target object in a width direction of the moving body, and determines the collision possibility of the moving body with the target object in a near distance mode for near distance objects on the basis of the space between the moving body and the target object in a travelling direction of the moving bodyand which determines that the collision possibility of the moving body increases for a target object as the distance from the moving body in the travelling direction of the moving body decreases when the target objects exist in the near distance area,wherein the space is a distance from the moving body to the target object or corresponds to a time for the moving body to reach the target object.
