Abstract

An other-vehicle behavior prediction method includes calculating a travel path of the host vehicle, detecting a position of an intersection present on the travel path of the host vehicle and within a predetermined distance from the host vehicle, and detecting a position of another vehicle around the host vehicle before the intersection. A host-vehicle passing area through which the host vehicle passes when proceeding through the intersection and an other-vehicle passing area through which the first oncoming vehicle is predicted to pass when proceeding through the intersection are calculated, a space between the host-vehicle passing area and the another-vehicle passing area is calculated, and a distance between the first oncoming vehicle and the intersection is calculated. Based on the space and the distance, a probability that the first oncoming vehicle will proceed through the intersection ahead of the host vehicle is predicted.
