Abstract

An information display device includes a surrounding environment detector, a vehicle information acquirer, a predictor, an avoidance path provider, and an information display. The surrounding environment detector detects position relevant information related to a position of at least a surrounding object in a surrounding environment of a vehicle. The vehicle information acquirer detects vehicle information including a speed and a steering direction of the vehicle. The predictor predicts a contact of the vehicle with the surrounding object, based on the position relevant information and the vehicle information. When the predictor has predicted that there is a possibility of the contact of the vehicle with the surrounding object, the avoidance path provider assumes an avoidance path for avoiding the contact, based on the position relevant information and the vehicle information. The information display displays the avoidance path.

Claims (20)

1. An information display device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory including a program that, when executed, causes the processor to perform operations including:

acquiring position relevant information related to a position of at least a surrounding object in a surrounding environment of a vehicle;

acquiring vehicle information including a speed and a steering direction of the vehicle; and

controlling an information display to display an avoidance path for avoiding a contact of the vehicle with the surrounding object and to further display a risk of the contact, based on the position relevant information and the vehicle information.

2. The information display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the controlling further includes controlling the information display to display the risk in association with the speed of the vehicle.

3. The information display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the controlling further includes controlling, upon determining that the risk has a predetermined value or more, the information display to display deceleration request indication for requesting a driver of the vehicle to decelerate the vehicle.

4. The information display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the controlling further includes controlling, upon determining that the risk has a predetermined value or more, the information display to display warning sound request indication for requesting a driver of the vehicle to make a warning sound notification of the vehicle.

5. An information display method comprising:

acquiring position relevant information related to a position of at least a surrounding object in a surrounding environment of a vehicle;

acquiring vehicle information including a speed and a steering direction of the vehicle; and

controlling an information display to display an avoidance path for avoiding a contact of the vehicle with the surrounding object and to further display a risk of the contact, based on the position relevant information and the vehicle information.

6. A non-transitory recording medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:

acquiring position relevant information related to a position of at least a surrounding object in a surrounding environment of a vehicle;

acquiring vehicle information including a speed and a steering direction of the vehicle; and

controlling an information display to display an avoidance path for avoiding a contact of the vehicle with the surrounding object and to further display a risk of the contact, based on the position relevant information and the vehicle information.
