Abstract: A collision prevention device is mounted on a vehicle and prevents collision against an obstacle by controlling a driving system of the vehicle. This collision prevention device includes an obstacle sensor, an obstacle detection area setting unit, a detector and a vehicle controller. The obstacle sensor transmits one of a light wave, a radio wave and an ultrasonic wave to a predetermined obstacle detection area, and receives a reflected wave of one of the light wave, the radio wave and the ultrasonic wave. The obstacle detection area setting unit sets the obstacle detection area of the obstacle sensor. The detector detects the obstacle in the obstacle detection area based on a detection result of the obstacle sensor. The vehicle controller controls the driving system of the vehicle based on a result of the detection of the detector, and according to the obstacle detection area set by the obstacle detection area setting unit.
