Abstract

See full text

An information indication apparatus installed in a vehicle, includes a vehicle's information obtainment unit to obtain a position of the vehicle; another vehicle's information obtainment unit to obtain a position of the other vehicle by inter-vehicle communication; a relative position calculation unit to calculate a relative position of the other vehicle; and an indication unit to indicate one of areas, which represent ranges of directional angles as viewed from the vehicle, that includes the existence direction of the other vehicle, when the distance is less than or equal to a first threshold, and the other vehicle is traveling towards the vehicle. When the distance is less than or equal to a second threshold set to be less than the first threshold, the indication unit does not change the area to be indicated even if the existence direction of the other vehicle changes to be included in another area.
