Original Abstract Submitted

a radar device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a target detection unit, a multipath ghost determination unit, a monorail environment determination unit, and a monorail vehicle determination unit. the multipath ghost determination unit extracts a relay reflective target from detected targets, and determines a moving object detected erroneously due to a stationary object from or to which radar waves are relayed by the relay reflective target, as being a multipath ghost. the monorail environment determination unit determines whether an environment in which the vehicle carrying the radar device is traveling is a monorail environment. when the environment in which the vehicle carrying the radar device is traveling is the monorail environment, the monorail vehicle determination unit determines that the relay reflective target is a monorail vehicle, based on the number of multipath ghosts.
