In recent years, increase of traffic accidents by elderly people has become serious problem in Japan. Causes of accidents include decline in cognitive function and muscular strength. If they are given many diagnostic opportunities, they can selftest their driving ability. We propose a method of measuring the position of the FOE and the average of the horizontal speed in the image to estimate the direction of travel of the car. We examined possibility of estimating the direction of travel of the car body from images of using onboard cameras image. Experimental results showed that possibility of estimating the direction of travel can be achieved.
