Abstract:
An obstacle monitoring device includes a first object detecting section which detects a relative position of a first object located ahead in a moving direction of a vehicle, based on output data of a first moving-direction monitoring sensor, a second object detecting section which detects a relative position and profile of a second object, based on output data of a second moving-direction monitoring sensor which has a higher spatial resolution than the first moving-direction monitoring sensor, an interference determination section that determines whether the vehicle will interfere with the first object and also determines identity between the first object and the second object, and a profile determination section that, if the interference determination section has determined that the first object and the second object are identical to each other, determines whether the profile of the second object will allow the vehicle to pass over the second object.

Claim (Index 9):
The vehicle control device according to  claim 6 , further comprising:\n a deceleration cancel information storage section that, when the vehicle control section cancels the deceleration, stores deceleration cancel information including a position on the travel path, at which the first object relevant to the cancellation of the deceleration has been detected, wherein, if the autonomous travel vehicle again reaches the position, at which the first object relevant to the cancellation of the deceleration has been detected, and if the first moving-direction monitoring sensor detects a relative position of a new first object, the interference determination section compares the relative position of the new first object and the deceleration cancel information with each other to determine whether the new first object is identical to the first object relevant to the cancellation of the deceleration, and wherein, if the interference determination section has determined that the new first object is identical to the first object relevant to the cancellation of the deceleration, the vehicle control section performs control to allow the autonomous travel vehicle to travel at a predetermined travel speed without a deceleration.
