BEHAVIOR PREDICTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A behavior predicting device comprising:
- a type determining unit that determines whether an object around a vehicle is a motorcycle, a bicycle, or a pedestrian;
a characteristic value temporary setting unit that temporarily sets characteristic values of the object on the basis of the type of object determined by the type determining unit;
a behavior detecting unit that detects the behavior of the object;
a characteristic value correcting unit that corrects the characteristic values of the object temporarily set by the characteristic value temporary setting unit on the basis of the behavior of the object detected by the behavior detecting unit;
a type setting unit that sets whether the object is the motorcycle, the bicycle, or the pedestrian on the basis of the characteristic values of the object corrected by the characteristic value correcting unit; and
a behavior predicting unit that predicts the behavior of the object on the basis of the type of object set by the type setting unit.

Abstract
A characteristic value temporary setting section temporarily sets a characteristic value of an object depending on the type of the object judged by a type judging section. A characteristic value correcting section corrects the temporarily set characteristic value of the object according to the behavior of the object detected by a behavior detecting section. A type setting section sets the type of object as one of a motorcycle, a bicycle, and a pedestrian according to the corrected characteristic value of the object. A behavior predicting section predicts the behavior of the object on the basis of the corrected characteristic value and the set type of the object. Therefore, the behavior is predicted on the basis of the characteristic value corrected according to the actual behavior and the type of the object, and consequently, the accuracy of the behavior prediction is improved.
