Abstract:

PURPOSE:To avoid a danger of collision with a following vehicle at the time of changing the course by detecting the following vehicle and giving an alarm at the time of operating a winker in the direction of the traffic lane where the following vehicle runs. CONSTITUTION:A video camera 11, a traffic lane recognizing means 12, a monitor area setting means 13, a following vehicle detecting means 14, a winker detecting means 15, a deciding means 16, and an alarm means 17 which gives an alarm at the time of judging it by the deciding means 16 that a following vehicle exists in the traffic lane whose direction the winker is operated are provided. Since the driver can recognize following vehicles running on right and left traffic lanes adjacent to the lane where the vehicle runs even when the vehicle runs a curve, an alarm is given to the driver if the driver fails to confirm following vehicles or erroneously recognize them when changing the course of the vehicle, thereby considerably reducing a danger of collision at the time of the change of the course.
