Abstract
A risk estimation system estimates the degree of risk ahead of a vehicle. Three-dimensional object layout information indicates the three-dimensional layout of a three-dimensional object ahead of the vehicle. An intersecting road is a road that intersects a traveling road, which is a road on which the vehicle is traveling, at an intersection ahead of the vehicle. The risk estimation system sets a first area that extends from the intersection into the intersecting road by a first length. Based on the three-dimensional object layout information, the risk estimation system calculates the degree of blocking indicating a degree to which the first area is blocked by the three-dimensional object when seen from the position of the vehicle. After that, the risk estimation system calculates the degree of risk in such a way that the degree of risk increases as the degree of blocking is higher.
