Abstract
A driver assistance device acquires information about vehicle-driving environment ahead of the vehicle to detect an intersection. Upon determining that the vehicle makes a right- or left-hand turn at the intersection, the driver assistance device sets a projected course of the vehicle and recognizes a moving object ahead in a direction in which the vehicle making a right- or left-hand turn is headed. The driver assistance device calculates a movement vector from positional changes of the moving object to calculate a meeting point of a path of the object and the projected course. When an interval between times at which the vehicle and the moving object reach the meeting point is found to fall within a predetermined range, the driver assistance device determines that there is a possibility of interference between the vehicle and the moving object and then causes the vehicle to halt short of the meeting point.
