Abstract
There is provided a host vehicle blind spot monitoring system having a function of identifying a target in a host vehicle blind spot in order to respond to regulations (UNR 151, UNR 159). A host vehicle blind spot monitoring system transmits a transmission wave to a predetermined search area and identifies a type of an object that reflects the transmission wave, based on detection results of a plurality of radar devices that detect the object by using a reflected wave received from the object. The plurality of radar devices is arranged such that a search area of each of the radar devices has a different vertical height from a road surface. The host vehicle blind spot monitoring system includes an identification processing unit that acquires a detection point at which the object has been detected for each search area and distance information from the radar device to the detection point, and identifies the type of the object based on the distance information and a size of a detection area configured by the detection point.
