  • Patent number: 11926319
    Abstract: A driving monitoring device (100) decides an applicable collision pattern that applies to a collision pattern of a case where a vehicle (200) collides with a mobile object, based on a velocity vector of the vehicle, a velocity vector of the mobile object, and so on. Subsequently, the driving monitoring device calculates a time until collision, which is a time taken until the vehicle collides with the mobile object, in the applicable collision pattern. Then, the driving monitoring device calculates a danger level of an accident in which the vehicle collides with the mobile object, based on the applicable collision pattern and the time until collision.
