Abstract
An obstacle monitoring device includes a first object detecting section which detects a relative position of a first object located ahead in a moving direction of a vehicle, based on output data of a first moving-direction monitoring sensor, a second object detecting section which detects a relative position and profile of a second object, based on output data of a second moving-direction monitoring sensor which has a higher spatial resolution than the first moving-direction monitoring sensor, an interference determination section that determines whether the vehicle will interfere with the first object and also determines identity between the first object and the second object, and a profile determination section that, if the interference determination section has determined that the first object and the second object are identical to each other, determines whether the profile of the second object will allow the vehicle to pass over the second object.
