Abstract:
1. A control apparatus comprising: a radar detection storage unit which stores information of radar detection; an acquisition unit which acquires coordinates of a detection starting position and coordinates of a detection ending position detected by a radar, for each of a plurality of moving vehicles moving in a moving direction on a road, the radar provided so as to have a detection area in the moving direction on the road; a calculation unit which calculates an average value of the coordinates of the detection starting positions acquired by the acquisition unit and an average value of the coordinates of the detection ending positions acquired by the acquisition unit and which stores the information of radar detection including the calculated average values in the radar detection storage unit; a comparison unit which compares the average value of the coordinates of the detection starting positions indicated by the information of radar detection stored in the radar detection storage unit with a determined reference value for the detection starting positions and which compares the average value of the coordinates of the detection ending positions indicated by the information of radar detection stored in the radar detection storage unit with a determined reference value for the detection ending positions; and an abnormality determination unit which determines on the basis of results of the comparisons by the comparison unit whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the radar.
