To provide an emergency vehicle approach notification device that can notify an own vehicle about the existence of an emergency vehicle around the vehicle.SOLUTION: An emergency vehicle approach notification device 3 for notifying crew members about the existence of an emergency vehicle 2 around an own vehicle 1 comprises: cameras 4, 5, and 6 boarded on the own vehicle 1; vehicle detection means 10 for detecting a vehicle from among the images around the own vehicle taken by the cameras 4, 5, and 6; red lamp detection means 11 for detecting a flashing red lamp 7 based on the detection result of the vehicle detection means 10; approach direction determination means 12 for determining the approaching direction of the emergency vehicle 2 based on the detection result of the red lamp detection means 11; and notification means 15 for notifying the crew members about the existence of the emergency vehicle 2 based on the detection result of the approach direction determination means 12. The notification means 15 can safely notify a driver by being mounted in the field of view of the driver. In this way, the driver can take prompt action suitable for the emergency vehicle 2 by knowing the existence of the emergency vehicle 2 around the own vehicle 1 at an early stage.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】自車両の周囲に緊急車両などがいることを報知することができる緊急車両接近報知装置を提供する。【解決手段】自車両1の周囲に緊急車両2が存在することを乗員に報知する緊急車両接近報知装置3であって、自車両1に搭載されたカメラ4,5,6と、カメラ4,5,6にて撮像された自車両周囲の画像から車両を検出する車両検出手段10と、車両検出手段10の検出結果に基づき点滅する赤色灯7を検出する赤色灯検出手段11と、赤色灯検出手段11の検出結果に基づき接近する緊急車両2の方向を判別する接近方向判別手段12と、接近方向判別手段12の検出結果に基づき乗員に緊急車両2の存在を報知する報知手段15と備える。前記報知手段15は運転者の視野領域内に設置をし、運転者への報知を安全に行うことができる。このようにして自車両1の周囲に緊急車両2があることを早期に運転者が知ることで、緊急車両2に適した対応を速やかに行うことができる。【選択図】図2
