1. An active notice device for safety of a vehicle and a pedestrian, the active notice device provided outside the vehicle and configured to receive a signal generated from an active sensor of a surrounding vehicle, analyze the received signal, and amplify and generate the analyzed signal, and transmit the amplified signal to the active sensor of the surrounding vehicle, the active notice device comprising:
a signal receiver configured to receive a signal generated by the active sensor of the surrounding vehicle;
a signal analyzer configured to analyze characteristics of the signal received by the signal receiver;
an information generator configured to generate information recognizable by the surrounding vehicle according to user setting;
a signal generator configured to amplify and generate characteristics of the signal analyzed by the signal analyzer using the information generated by the information generator;
a signal transmitter configured to transmit the signal amplified and generated by the signal generator to the active sensor of the surrounding vehicle corresponding thereto; and
a passive signal generator configured to generate a signal recognizable by a passive sensor of the surrounding vehicle using the information generated by the information generator,
wherein the passive signal generator includes:
at least one of a thermal image generator configured to generate a thermal image signal detected by a thermal image camera of the surrounding vehicle, and a hologram generator configured to generate a hologram signal detected by a camera of the surrounding vehicle.
