COLLISION POSITION PREDICTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A collision position predicting device comprising:
- moving object detection unit to detect a moving object on a road; and
collision position predicting unit to predict, upon detection of a moving object crossing the road by the moving object detection unit, the collision position of the moving object and the subject vehicle based on a moving vector of the moving object;
wherein in cases where the moving object crossing the road into which the subject vehicle has entered is detected at the time when the subject vehicle has turned to the right or to the left, the direction of the moving vector of said moving object used for the prediction of the collision position by said collision position predicting unit is set to a direction vertical to the road into which the subject vehicle has entered.

Abstract
The present invention is intended to provide a technique which is capable of detecting a collision position of a moving object crossing a road and a subject vehicle with a higher degree of accuracy. In the present invention, in cases where the moving object crossing the road into which the subject vehicle has entered is detected at the time when the subject vehicle has turned to the right or to the left, the direction of a moving vector of the moving object is fixed to a direction which is set based on a shape of the road into which the subject vehicle has turned to the right or to the left. Then, the collision position of the moving object and the subject vehicle is predicted based on this moving vector of which the direction is fixed.
