Abstract:
A surrounding area monitoring apparatus receives visual field information about a driver of a surrounding vehicle of a self vehicle, and decides whether the self vehicle is outside the visual field of the surrounding vehicle or not in accordance with the visual field information. Accordingly, it can learn the present dynamic visual field range of the driver of the surrounding vehicle actually traveling around the self vehicle, and obtain more accurate visual field range. Thus, it can appropriately give information that is really necessary and suppress giving unnecessary information.

Claim (Index 1):
A surrounding area monitoring apparatus comprising:\n a microcomputer comprising:\n a vehicle position acquirer to acquire positional information of a first vehicle; \n a communicator to receive positional information of at least one second vehicle and visual field range information of the at least one second vehicle; \n a decider to decide whether the first vehicle is outside a visual field range of the at least one second vehicle or not, based on the acquired positional information of the first vehicle, the positional information of the at least one second vehicle, and the visual field range of the at least one second vehicle; and \n a notification controller to provide an advisory or warning to a driver of the first vehicle when the decider decides that the first vehicle is outside the visual field range of the at least one second vehicle.
