Abstract
As provided here, an obstacle warning system for a vehicle is capable of issuing an alarm accurately according to the curved state of a road. When the road is curved, the system sets the correction time counter on the basis of the following conditions: whether or not the curvature radius of the curved road is small; whether or not a guardrail is detected immediately ahead of the vehicle; whether or not an erroneously-recognized object, such as a set of guardrail reflectors exhibiting large relative acceleration is immediately ahead of the vehicle; and whether or not the number of obstacles recognized reaches a value indicating that the vehicle is approaching a curved section of the road. When a stationary object enters the field of view indicating that there is a possibility of a collision, the obstacle warning system corrects the warning distance in response to the value of the correction time counter, thus making it possible to avoid a false alarm during cornering.
