A driving assistance device is provided. An acquisition unit configured to acquire data regarding a travel trajectory of another vehicle from the other vehicle by vehicle-to-vehicle communication. A specifying unit configured to specify an intersection position between the travel trajectory of the other vehicle and a travel trajectory of a self-vehicle based on the data acquired by the acquisition unit. A selection unit configured to select data for setting a region based on the intersection position and the travel trajectory of the other vehicle as a monitoring region when performing driving assistance in a case where the intersection position is specifiable by the specifying unit. The selection unit selects data that has been partially deleted from the data acquired by the acquisition unit based on the intersection position.

Driving assistance device, vehicle, and driving assistance method

Provided is a traffic safety support system capable of improving traffic safety in a situation in which a mobile body has merged onto a road on which a mobile vehicle as a host vehicle is traveling and is approaching the host vehicle. A traffic safety support system includes a recognizer, a HMI, a risk notification setting unit, and a risk notification control device. The risk notification setting unit sets a notification mode to a hinting notification mode in a case where a motorcycle acts as an oncoming vehicle and a first travel path of a four-wheeled automobile and a second travel path of the motorcycle join, and sets the notification mode to an analogue notification mode in a case where the motorcycle is present within an analogue notification actuation range.

Provided is a traffic safety support system capable of improving traffic safety in a situation in which it is predicted that a mobile body will not obey a signal displayed by a traffic light. A traffic safety support system includes a recognizer, a HMI, a risk notification setting unit, and a risk notification control device. The risk notification setting unit sets a notification mode to a hinting notification mode in a case where a four-wheeled automobile acts as an oncoming mobile body and at least one of the four-wheeled automobile or a motorcycle is approaching a traffic light, and sets the notification mode to an analogue notification mode in a case where the four-wheeled automobile is present within an analogue notification actuation range.

Provided is a traffic safety support system capable of improving traffic safety in a situation in which it is predicted that a mobile body other than a host vehicle is shielded by a nearby vehicle present near the mobile body. A traffic safety support system includes a recognizer, a HMI, a risk notification setting unit, and a risk notification control device. The risk notification setting unit sets a notification mode to a hinting notification mode in a case where a motorcycle acts as an oncoming mobile body, and where a four-wheeled automobile is present near the motorcycle and is approaching a four-wheeled automobile from the front in the traveling direction of the four-wheeled automobile, and sets the notification mode to an analogue notification mode in a case where the motorcycle is present within an analogue notification range.

A communication device includes a target locating unit configured to locate a position of a target having a risk of approaching a moving body. The communication device includes a transmission unit configured to transmit request information including positional information of an external terminal, for which the positional information is requested, based on the position of the target located by the target locating unit.
