Abstract
A movable area acquisition ECU 1 compares a possible path for a host vehicle and a predicted path of another vehicle in a travel area of the host vehicle with each other to obtain a possibility of collision between the two vehicles, thus computing a degree of danger to the host vehicle. If the degree of danger to the host vehicle exceeds a predetermined threshold, the travel area is extended and then a degree of danger to the host vehicle is computed and acquired.

10. A host vehicle moving area acquisition method comprising:
-
setting a moving area in which the host vehicle can move; predicting a path of an obstacle in the moving area; predicting a path of the host vehicle in the moving area on the basis of a travel state of the host vehicle; computing a safety degree with respect to the path of the host vehicle, on the basis of the path of the obstacle and the path of the host vehicle; determining whether or not the safety degree exceeds a threshold; and switching the moving area from a steady-state moving area to a non-steady state moving area if the safety degree is equal to or lower than the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (11)
