The running surrounding recognizing apparatus is capable of accurately recognizing information in regard to running of a self-vehicle even if a mounting position of a sensor for running surrounding recognition is changed, and to provide a vehicle running control apparatus using the running surrounding recognizing apparatus. The running surrounding recognizing apparatus 1 comprises a communication part 11, a sensing region determining part 12 for determining a sensing region sensed by the running surrounding recognizing apparatus 1 and a sensing part 13. The communication part 11 is connected to external units through a bus 1200 to communicate data in regard to a mounting position of the running surrounding recognizing apparatus 1 on a vehicle. The sensing region determining part 12 determines the sensing region sensed by the running surrounding recognizing apparatus 1 based on the data in regard to a mounting position of the running surrounding recognizing apparatus 1 on a vehicle received through the communication part 11. The sensing part 13 outputs a sensed result based on the sensing region determined by the sensing region determining part 12 through the communication part.
However, because the laser radar or the extremely high frequency radar (hereinafter, referred to as �radar�) used in these systems is required to measure a distance to a preceding vehicle 41 running far away ahead of a self-vehicle 40 with a limited electric power, there is a disadvantage in that width of the radar can not be widened and accordingly the sensing region 43 is narrow, as shown in FIG. 4. Therefore, when a vehicle is cutting in between the preceding vehicle 41 and the self-vehicle, the driver feels uneasy because the alarm does not sound or the control of constant following distance running does not work until the cutting-in vehicle comes very close to the self-vehicle. Further, when the cutting-in vehicle is sensed, the driver fees uncomfortable because the self-vehicle is suddenly decelerated, for example, during constant following distance running.
x=−FX/(Z cos �−Y sin �) y=−F(Y cos �−Z sin �)/(Z cos �−Y sin �) (Equation 1) B. Regarding estimation of a distance of a cutting-in vehicle on the image coordinate system
X=−(Z cos �−Yd sin �)/F Z=(FYd cos �−yYd sin �)/(y cos �−F sin) (Equation 2) Using Equation 2, the position of the cutting-in vehicle can be related with the position in the image.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a running surrounding recognizing apparatus which is capable of accurately recognizing information in regard to running of a self-vehicle even if a mounting position of a sensor for running surrounding recognition is changed, and to provide a vehicle running control apparatus using the running surrounding recognizing apparatus.
