Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/029802
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Traveling information providing device for ensuring the safety of a traveling vehicle
by correctly judging the driver's recognition of a safety confirmation object
through not only driver's attentive viewing of the safety confirmation object
but also his or her viewing of the surroundings. A surrounding information collecting
section (120) acquires surrounding information on the condition surrounding
the vehicle equipped with the device. An object extracting section (130) extracts
a safety confirmation object the safety of which must be confirmed by the driver
from the surrounding information acquired by the surrounding information collecting
section (120). A line-of-sight detecting section (110) detects the line-of-sight
direction of the driver. A visibility calculating section (140) receives the
extracted safety confirmation object and the line-of-sight direction of the
driver and calculates the visibility in consideration of the driver's
surrounding viewing of the safety confirmation object according to the distance
to the object or the angle with respect to the driver's line-of-sight direction.
An information presenting section (170) presents safety confirmation to the
driver depending on the visibility.
