Abstract
An obstacle detection sensor includes: a controller configured to determine a detection condition of an obstacle on a road; a distance sensor unit configured to acquire distance information by oscillating a vibration wave and receiving a reflected wave of the oscillated vibration wave; a communication unit configured to communicate with an outside to acquire road surface information; and a storage unit configured to store detection relationship information for identifying the obstacle based on the distance information, in which the controller compares the detection relationship information read from the storage unit with the distance information and the road surface information acquired from the distance sensor unit and the communication unit to determine the detection condition.
