Abstract
A vehicle distance data processor precisely correlates or matches points of detection in a time serial manner to thereby accurately determine distances of a subject vehicle to a plurality of other vehicles or obstacles lying ahead as well as relative velocity vector data indicative of a velocity vector of each of the other vehicles or obstacles relative to the subject vehicle. Currently obtained coordinate data is correlated or matched with previously obtained coordinate data by means of a matching element 5A on the basis of coordinate data obtained by a distance data converting element 3A, reflection strength data obtained by a distance data/reflection-strength data input element 2A, and predicted coordinate data obtained by a coordinate data predicting element 4A.
