Abstract

A driving support device detects a speed limit by imaging a speed sign indicating the speed limit of a traveling lane. Also, the driving support device continuously acquires attribute information from a car navigation system. The speed limit recognized from a road sign is displayed on a screen mounted in a vehicle. When the speed limit recognized from the road sign is not equal to a speed limit acquired from the car navigation system, a display time of the speed limit is limited. When the attribute information is changed, display of the speed limit is stopped.

Claims (12)

1. A driving support device comprising:

a speed recognition unit that detects a speed limit by imaging a road sign indicating the speed limit of a traveling lane;

an attribute acquisition unit that acquires a speed limit of a traveling lane and attribute information from a car navigation system; and

a speed display unit that displays the speed limit recognized from the road sign on a screen mounted in a vehicle,

wherein

the speed display unit stops display of the speed limit when the attribute information is changed,

when a speed limit recognized from the road sign is not equal to a speed limit acquired from the car navigation system, the speed display unit limits a display time of the speed limit, according to a predetermined display zone being set up by the unequal speed limit condition determined between the speed limit acquired from the car navigation system and the speed limit recognized from the road sign, and

when a speed limit recognized from the road sign is equal to a speed limit acquired from the car navigation system, the speed display unit does not limit a display time of the speed limit.

2. The driving support device according to claim 1 , wherein

the attribute acquisition unit acquires the attribute information as information by which an expressway and a general road are distinguished from each other.

3. The driving support device according to claim 1 , wherein

the attribute acquisition unit acquires the attribute information as information by which a traveling area is distinguished, a change in a driving direction, a road sign identification, or a regional type identification being distinguished.
