Abstract(in English) Recently, the increase of traffic accidents has become a serious problem. Most of the accidents are caused by the drivers' carelessness, usually happening on crossovers. Therefore, safety improvements in driving are required. In this paper, we propose a safe driving support system that informs about approaching vehicles out of the driver's vision field. In order to accomplish the requirements of this research, a sound localization and recognition model based on pulsed neural networks was used as the base of the proposed system. In order to test the proposed method's efficiency as a safe driving support system, several experiments using an automobile and a scooter (motorcycle) were performed. The results show that the system could efficiently observe the movement of an approaching vehicle in real environment, confirming its efficiency as a safe driving support system.
