CONSTITUTION:When a traveling vehicle approaches a confronting vehicle or an obstacle or the like exceeding a predetermined distance and reaches the distance of collision being unavoidable, a distance sensor A1 or a discriminating system A2 is operated, and an emergency brake B is automatically operated, and a controller C reads its signal. On the basis of this, signals to instruct action are outputted to an engine throttle valve drive device 1 and a brake pressure generating device 2, and a throttle valve 3 and a brake 4 are respectively driven, and the vehicle is stopped in emergency. Meanwhile, by the operation of the emergency brake B, an alarm S is alarmed automatically by means of an output signal from the controller C, and to the vehicle inside or outside, the emergency stop of the vehicle is informed.
