Abstract

A drive assist apparatus includes a storage unit that stores a three-dimensional model indicating a moving region, an input unit that receives, from a sensor group installed in the moving region, first height information indicating a first height which is a height of the mobile object and second height information indicating a second height which is a height of an object that satisfies a predetermined distance criterion from the mobile object, an extraction unit that extracts, from the three-dimensional model, a first plan view based on the first height information and a second plan view based on the second height information, a generation unit that generates a combined map for two-dimensionally showing the moving region and assisting the driving of the mobile object by combining the first plan view and the second plan view, and an output unit that transmits a generated combined map to the mobile object.
