The width of the speed reduction marking of setting in intercity high speed in addition, is mostly wide than the width of track differentiation line.In expressway around city is waited at a high speed in capital, the width of the width of speed reduction marking and track differentiation line is roughly the same.State described above, speed reduction marking to the processing of test section 32 in, by interference error-detecting described above, be likely speed reduction marking pair.
To this, in present embodiment, even if the situation that exists tire trace, seam etc. to disturb also can reduce the generation of error-detecting or it is not occurred.For example, as shown in figure 12, even each various speed reduction markings that all city or community exists also can detect speed reduction marking pair, even if it is interval at the deceleration strip consisting of speed reduction marking mode as Figure 12 therefore to travel, also can continues to detect original track and distinguish line.Here, in Figure 12, label A represents speed reduction marking.
Here, speed reduction marking live width recording unit 36 forms graticule live width storage unit.The correspondence of other structure is identical with above-mentioned the 1st embodiment.
(effect of present embodiment)
Present embodiment, not only has by the effect described in above-mentioned the 1st embodiment, and has following effect.
(1) speed reduction marking live width recording unit 36, stores the graticule live width of above-mentioned speed reduction marking to the speed reduction marking of detecting unit detection.Above-mentioned speed reduction marking is to test section 32, in the stored situation of graticule live width of preset value, graticule live width based on above-mentioned graticule live width cell stores is determined graticule benchmark live width, only will form the road traffic marking of graticule live width that difference with above-mentioned graticule benchmark live width is less than or equal to preset value as the candidate of speed reduction marking.
Therefore, for example, according to the mean value of past resume, infer the width of speed reduction marking, can remove is not obviously the speed reduction marking pair of speed reduction marking.Its result, can reduce error-detecting.
(2) above-mentioned speed reduction marking live width recording unit 36, the result of determination based on the interval test section 34 of 3 heavy line judges that current track is not 3 heavy lines, removes the record of graticule live width, defines the past resume of graticule live width.
Therefore,, by only detecting definitely speed reduction marking to time record resume in the past, can prevent detect and the wrong interference that can not detect speed reduction marking equity is removed.
