Abstract
A harsh braking-applied vehicle warning apparatus is to give a warning of existence of a harsh braking-applied vehicle to a vehicle to be warned, on the basis of a harsh braking information sent from the harsh braking-applied vehicle. The apparatus comprises a reception device, a position detection device, a forward side vehicle judgment device and a warning device. The reception device receives the-harsh braking information, which includes information indicating that the harsh braking has been applied to the harsh braking-applied vehicle, and another information indicating a position of the harsh braking-applied vehicle. The position detection device detects a position of the vehicle to be warned. The forward side vehicle judgment device judges as whether or not the harsh braking-applied vehicle is a preceding vehicle, which drives in front of the vehicle to be warned, on the basis of the positions of the harsh braking-applied vehicle and the vehicle to be warned. The warning device gives a warning of existence of the harsh braking-applied vehicle to the vehicle to be warned, when it is judged that the harsh braking-applied vehicle is the preceding vehicle.
