Vehicle danger notification control apparatus
First Claim
1. A vehicle danger notification control apparatus for notifying a driver of a running vehicle and/or a pedestrian that are/is in a vicinity of an own vehicle, of danger(s) of collision(s) between the running vehicle and the pedestrian and/or between the running vehicle and a second running vehicle, the vehicle danger notification control apparatus comprising:
- at least one camera configured to recognize the running vehicle, the second running vehicle, and/or the pedestrian as a moving object(s);
at least one processor for executing stored instructions to;
determine whether the own vehicle is in a stopped state based on data obtained from measurement sensors for measuring speed of the own vehicle;
determine whether the running vehicle is within the vicinity of the own vehicle;
determine whether the pedestrian is within the vicinity of the own vehicle;
determine, when the pedestrian is not within the vicinity of the own vehicle, whether the second running vehicle is within the vicinity of the own vehicle;
determine whether there is the danger(s) of collision(s) between the running vehicle and the pedestrian and/or between the running vehicle and the second running vehicle, wherein the determination is based on calculating moving directions and moving speeds of the pedestrian, the running vehicle, and/or the second running vehicle and further calculating whether positions of the pedestrian and the running vehicle and/or the positions of the running vehicle and the second running vehicle will at least partly overlap at a same relative position after a predetermined period of time; and
notify, based on the determination that there is the danger(s) of collision(s), the driver of the running vehicle, a driver of the second running vehicle, and/or the pedestrian of the danger(s) of collision(s) using one or more components of the own vehicle.

Abstract
A pedestrian and a driver of a running vehicle that are in the vicinity of a stopped vehicle are notified of a danger of collision with a vehicle, without requiring the pedestrian to carry a communication terminal. A vehicle danger notification control apparatus includes an outside recognition arrangement for recognizing a running vehicle and/or a pedestrian as a moving object(s), a danger determination arrangement for determining whether there is a danger of collision(s) between the running vehicle and the pedestrian and/or between the running vehicles, and a danger notification arrangement for notifying, in a case in which the danger determination means determines that there is a collision danger, a driver of the running vehicle and/or the pedestrian of the collision danger.
