Abstract
A crossing determination apparatus includes: an object detection unit which detects an object moving in a direction perpendicular to a traveling path of an own vehicle; a crossing speed calculation unit which calculates a crossing speed that is a speed at which the object detected by the objection detection unit is crossing a current traveling path of the own vehicle; a crossing determination unit which, when the crossing speed calculated by the crossing speed calculation unit is higher than a predetermined speed, determines that the object is crossing the traveling path of the own vehicle; and a yaw rate detection unit which detects a yaw rate of the own vehicle. The crossing determination unit corrects the crossing speed of the object or the predetermined speed based on the yaw rate detected by the yaw rate detection unit.
