AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems do not effectively report the positional relationship of surrounding vehicles, particularly when they are traveling in the same lane on multi-lane roads, which can lead to accidents.
Method used
An information processing apparatus mounted on a vehicle determines the driving lane and direction of travel of surrounding vehicles using location and map information, and outputs warning information based on azimuth angle differences to alert drivers to potential hazards.
Benefits of technology
Enhances the accuracy of reporting surrounding vehicle positions, reducing the likelihood of accidents by enabling drivers to take evasive actions such as changing lanes.

Abstract
To improve a technique for notifying the positional relationship between peripheral vehicles.SOLUTION: An information processing device 20 comprises a control unit 23 including: determining driving lanes of an own vehicle 10A and an object vehicle 10B on the basis of the positional information of the own vehicle 10A and the object vehicle 10B and map information; determining the direction of traveling of the object vehicle 10B to the own vehicle 10A based on the difference of heading azimuths of between the own vehicle 10A and the object vehicle 10B; and outputting alert information corresponding to the determination result of the driving lanes and the direction of traveling of the object vehicle 10B.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
