Abstract
A periphery monitoring system of a first embodiment controlling the cruising of a mounted vehicle by judging which of a first region along a path of advance of the mounted vehicle, a second region near the outside of the first region, and a third region other than the first and second regions a target detected by a radar system is in; a periphery monitoring system of a second embodiment detecting an inspection plane based on an output of a television camera and radar system and judging a vehicle has cut in front when the time by which an inspection plane outside of the cruising lane reaches a boundary line is smaller than a certain threshold value; and a periphery monitoring system of a third embodiment detecting an inspection plane based on an output of a television camera and radar system and judging the range surrounded by inspection planes in which there is no target and the mounted vehicle can pass as an advance range.
