Abstract: When a deviation has occurred in a mounting angle in a radar device, the deviation is automatically detected and automatically corrected in a short time. A lateral wall parallel to a traveling direction is extracted through a function fitting process by a function fitting processing unit (112) from a distance and a relative speed which are a result of performing positioning of a radar device. Then, a calculation processing unit (114) calculates an angle azimuth ? of each point extracted as the lateral wall based on a host vehicle speed calculated at the time of the function fitting and the distance to the lateral wall. A comparison processing unit (115) compares the calculated angle azimuth ? with an angle azimuth ? that is a positioning result to detect a mounting angle deviation in the radar device, and a correction processing unit (116) corrects the mounting angle deviation.
