VEHICLE NOTIFICATION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle notification device suppressing erroneous vehicle notification.SOLUTION: A vehicle notification device 1 sends a front collision alarm to a driver if the risk of a collision between a vehicle and a front object is high. If the driver does not perform a collision avoidance operation in response to the front collision notification, it is determined that the object the collision against which should be avoided is not present by nature and determined that the front collision notification to the drive is an erroneous notification and a travel position corresponding to the erroneous notification is stored. From this time on, before a front collision notification, it is determined whether a current travel position is within the stored erroneous notification zone and the front collision notification is not sent if the current travel position belongs to the zone. According to this technique, it is possible to easily determine whether a notification is an erroneous notification on the basis of the driver's collision avoidance operation. Furthermore, since the front collision notification is not sent for the zone for which the erroneous notification is previously sent, the number of times of occurrence of erroneous notification can be decreased. 【課題】車両の誤報知を抑制する車両用報知装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両用報知装置１は、車両と前方物体との衝突危険度が高い場合に運転者に前方衝突警報を行い、前方衝突報知に対して運転者が衝突回避操作を行わない場合には、衝突を回避すべき物体がもともと存在しなかったとされ、運転者への前方衝突報知が誤報知であったと判定し、誤報知した走行位置が記憶される。そして、次回から前方衝突報知前に、記憶されている誤報知区間内に現在の走行位置が該当するか判定し該当した場合には前方衝突報知を行わないとしている。これによると、運転者の衝突回避操作に基づいて簡易的に誤報知の判定を行うことができる。また、過去に誤報知した区間での前方衝突報知を行わないとしているため、誤報知の発生回数を低減することができる。【選択図】図１
