OBSTACLE DETECTING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

Japanese Patent JP3683072

B2

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an obstacle detecting device for vehicle which detects the presence of an obstacle based on the detected result of radar equipment to only detect such an object that becomes the obstacle to the advance of the vehicle by providing radar equipment provided with a transmitting means which transmits acoustic waves, electromagnetic waves, etc., in the advancing direction of the vehicle and a receiving means which receives the reflected waves of the transmitted waves from reflecting bodies existing in the advancing direction of the vehicle.
SOLUTION: Of the reflecting bodies detected by means of radar equipment 1, those having a prescribed value or larger in the width direction of a vehicle are recognized as objects by means of an object recognizing means 5 and the deviations of the objects recognized by means of the recognizing means 5 and the center of the radar equipment or the vehicle in the width direction of the vehicle along the width direction are calculated by means of a deviation calculated means 7. When the deviation of one of the objects calculated by means of the calculating means 7 is smaller than a threshold deviation set by means of a threshold setting means 8, an obstacle detecting means 9 discriminates the recognized object as an obstacle.
