Abstract
A scene understanding device obtains map data where one, two or more obstacle detection frames, shaped corresponding to a road structure, for detecting an obstacle are set in advance for a specific spot on a road where a vehicle would otherwise bump into a vehicle or a pedestrian. The scene understanding device determines whether there exists an obstacle in the obstacle detection frames set for the specific spot on a scheduled traveling route of a host vehicle, and calculates the degree of risk at the specific spot based on a result of determining whether there exists an obstacle therein.
