Abstract
A peripheral monitoring device according to an embodiment includes an acquirer configured to acquire a first image generated by an imaging device, and acquire a steering angle of a vehicle, the imaging device that images an area behind the vehicle; a calculator configured to calculate an estimate of trajectory of a first coupling device from the steering angle, the first coupling device being mounted on the vehicle to couple the vehicle to a towed vehicle; and an output configured to display the first image on a display screen for use in an interior of the vehicle and to superimpose a second image on the first image on the display screen. The second image is of a linear shape representing the estimate of trajectory. The linear shape widens continuously or in stages as being away from a vehicle-side end.
