Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In recent years, the number of driving safety support systems in a car has been increasing.
However, too much information provided from the systems may cause driver distraction.
One of the approaches to avoid such a problem is to alert the driver only with the information on objects that are easily-missed, or in low-visibility and important.
In order to detect the low-visibility of a traffic sign, we have proposed a method that estimates traffic sign visibility focusing on the contrasts of image features between a traffic sign and its surrounding region.
However, only the simulation evaluations with artificial traffic sign images has done.
In this paper, we investigate the performance of the proposed method in realistic environments and show its effectiveness.
