Abstract

A prediction apparatus comprising acquisition means for acquiring information of another vehicle existing on the periphery of a self-vehicle and information of an object existing on the periphery of the other vehicle, and prediction means for predicting a behavior of the other vehicle based on the information of the other vehicle and the information of the object acquired by the acquisition means.

First claim

1 . A prediction apparatus comprising:
an acquisition unit for acquiring information of another vehicle existing on the periphery of a self-vehicle and information of an object existing on the periphery of the other vehicle; and a prediction unit for predicting a behavior of the other vehicle based on the information of the other vehicle and the information of the object acquired by the acquisition unit, wherein if a person is confirmed as the object, and it is confirmed that the person turns eyes to a side of the other vehicle, the prediction unit predicts that the other vehicle will decelerate.

2 . A prediction apparatus comprising:
an acquisition unit for acquiring information of another vehicle existing on the periphery of a self-vehicle and information of an object existing on the periphery of the other vehicle; and a prediction unit for predicting a behavior of the other vehicle based on the information of the other vehicle and the information of the object acquired by the acquisition unit, wherein the acquisition unit further acquires front information of the other vehicle, and if the front information satisfies a predetermined condition, the prediction unit predicts that, getting in/out of a person will not be performed for the other vehicle even if the other vehicle stops.

3 . The prediction apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the predetermined condition includes that an object exists on a traveling route of the other vehicle and/or that a traffic signal ahead of the other vehicle is showing red light.

4 . A vehicle comprising:
a detection unit for detecting another vehicle existing on the periphery of a self-vehicle and an object existing on the periphery of the other vehicle; and a prediction unit for predicting a behavior of the other vehicle based on a detection result of the other vehicle and a detection result of the object by the detection unit, wherein, letting the other vehicle be a first other vehicle, in a case that a second other vehicle is traveling behind the first other vehicle, the prediction unit predicts that the first other vehicle will stop based on a behavior of a person as the object, and that the second other vehicle will pass the first other vehicle.

5 . A computer-readable storage medium storing a program, the program configured to cause a computer to function as each unit of the vehicle according to claim 4 .
