PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a situation where a vehicle becomes unable to pass through at an earlier timing and provide traveling assistance with sufficient allowance.SOLUTION: The display state of a signal 34 for vehicles and the display state of a signal 35 for pedestrians facing the same direction as does the signal 34 for vehicles are recognized on the basis of the image of an intersection ahead of a vehicle that was photographed by a stereo camera 12. When, while the own vehicle is approaching an intersection, it is recognized that the signal 34 for vehicles indicates permission of passing and the signal 35 for pedestrians indicates prohibition of start of traversing or prohibition of traversing, it is predicted that the signal 34 for vehicles will soon change its indication from permission of passing to prohibition of start of passing or prohibition of passing, and predetermined traveling assistance is provided.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】車両の通行が不可となる状況を、より早いタイミングで検知し、余裕をもった走行支援を行なう。【解決手段】ステレオカメラ12で撮像した車両前方における交差点の画像に基づいて、車両用信号機34の表示状態、及び車両用信号機34と同一方向を向いた歩行者用信号機35の表示状態を認識する。自車両が交差点に接近している際に、車両用信号機34が通行許可の表示で、歩行者用信号機35が横断開始禁止の表示、又は横断禁止の表示であることを認識したら、間もなく車両用信号機34が通行許可の表示から通行開始禁止の表示、又は通行禁止の表示に変化すると予測し、予め定めた走行支援を行なう。【選択図】図1
