External risk detection and guidance system

Abstract

To allow output of an alarm for multiple risks when there are multiple risks outside a vehicle.SOLUTION: A visible guide device 10 for risks outside a vehicle including output units 25 to 27 that output alarms for guiding the line of sight of a driver 2 of a vehicle 1 to a risk outside the vehicle, comprises: an in-vehicle detection device 23 that detects information from which a line-of-sight direction of the driver 2 can be derived; and a control unit 15. The control unit 15 acquires the line-of-sight direction of the driver 2 from detection information of the in-vehicle detection device 23, calculates an amount of line-of-sight movement for making the driver see each of alarm targets that represent multiple risks outside the vehicle with respect to the acquired line-of-sight direction, and determines an output order of alarms from the output units 25 to 27 regarding the multiple risks outside the vehicle on the basis of the amount of line-of-sight movement for making the driver see at least an alarm target that poses a risk. In accordance with the determined alarm order, the output units 25 to 27 output alarms for making the driver see the alarm objects that represent multiple risks outside the vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
