OPERATION SUPPORTING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

Japanese Patent JP3917241

B2

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a certain, reliable, and practical operation supporting device in which a driver can travel in a narrow road by evading contact with an obstacle by easily and quickly making accurate judgment.
SOLUTION: A speed V and a handle angle 9 are detected, the environment of a traveling direction is image picked-up by a CCD camera 3, and the calculation of relative position information is operated by a picture recognizing part 21 and a road shape and obstacle recognizing part 22. When a narrow road is present in the direction of travel according to judgment by a narrow road judgment processing part 23, second-dimensional maps prepared in the past are successively updated, and the second-dimensional map of environment in the surrounding of a vehicle including the direction of travel is prepared by a second-dimensional map preparing part 25. Afterwards, an ideal path when the vehicle is intruding into the narrow road is calculated based on the second- dimensional map by an ideal path calculating part 26, and an expected position after the set time of a vehicle 1 is expected on the second-dimensional map by an expected position estimating part 27. Then, an announcement controlling part 28 outputs a signal to a state display part 8, and the ideal path is synthesized with the expected position and displayed on the second-dimensional map.
