System for correcting an object position location relative to a vehicle based on a sensor remote from the vehicle

Abstract

An outside sensing information processing device for suppressing adverse influence on warning of an advanced vehicle safety system. The vehicle safety system receives position information of an object detected by another vehicle or a road, the positions of feature points of a stationary object, and configuration information of an environmental map. When the system receives the information, the position of the object on the environmental map is calculated. Another vehicle also transmits position information of itself. The present vehicle checks an error of the position information of the vehicle detected by the other vehicle from the position information of the another vehicle and the relation of the position of a feature point detected by the another vehicle and the position of the feature point detected by the present vehicle. In the case where the error is large or unstable, use of the position information from the other vehicle is avoided.
