Collision mitigation apparatus

摘要

A collision mitigation apparatus is provided, which is installed in a vehicle and mitigates damage to the vehicle in occurrence of a collision. The apparatus includes an activation control section which detects an object positioned around the vehicle, and activates a collision mitigation part for mitigating damage to the vehicle in occurrence of a collision if a positional relationship between the vehicle and the object meets a predetermined activation condition, a type determining section which determines type of the object, the type being any one of a vehicle, a pedestrian and a roadside object, and an activation condition changing section which consolidates the activation condition compared to a case where the type of the object is not a roadside object, if the type of the object is a roadside object.

1. A collision mitigation apparatus, which is installed in a vehicle and mitigates damage to the vehicle in occurrence of a collision, comprising:
a collision mitigation controller that detects an object positioned around the vehicle, that activates a collision mitigation part for mitigating damage to the vehicle in occurrence of a collision if a positional relationship between the vehicle and the object meets a predetermined activation condition, that determines a type of the object, the type being any one of a vehicle, a pedestrian and a roadside object, and that strictly sets the activation condition compared to a case where the type of the object is not a roadside object, if the type of the object is a roadside object, wherein in a case where the type of the object is the roadside object, the collision mitigation controller determines whether or not the roadside object is a continuous roadside object based on recognition of a series of targets that are present along a traveling direction of the vehicle, and in a case where the roadside object is the continuous roadside object, the collision mitigation controller sets the activation condition more strictly than in a case where the roadside object that is not the continuous roadside object.
